After four years of separation, Ding Miaotian meets Xu Jinyang again.
He returned to Nancheng and opened a candy shop in the old street that recreated the memories of a boy. He clearly recognized her, but put on the mask of a stranger, pretending to be a cooperating party, and walked around the streets, creating one deliberate encounter after another.
The outer shell is that of a polite and distant businessman, with the paranoia and obsession honed by four years of wandering hidden in his heart.
Old wounds, incomplete notes, the past that he avoided talking about, and many secrets weighed on him. He was afraid of confessing, afraid that the old turmoil would implicate her again, so he only dared to hide under the official shell and get closer greedily.
Ding Miaotian could see through all his disguises.
She didn't poke it.
Rather than forcing him to hand over the truth, it would be better to accompany him through the drama.
She calmly threw away the fragments of her boyhood, leaving small gaps one after another. She calmly pulled and circled around, waiting for him to voluntarily drop all his guard and reveal the whole truth about their separation four years ago without saying goodbye.
A small shop with the sweet smell of orange candies, an unspoken game.
After a gap of four years, they slowly picked up the old time that was shattered by fate in the sweet fragrance.
Purpose: to overcome barriers and misunderstandings, resolve past pain with understanding and patience, face regrets, and move towards reconciliation and love in both directions.
