The Eleventh Year of Loving You

During the summer vacation of the first year of high school, Lin Xu's last words to Xu Wanqing were "Forget about me." He completely disappeared from her world without giving her a chance to ask. An unexpected reunion ten years later found him holding a child in his arms and a woman standing next to him with a bracelet exactly like hers on her wrist. Xu Wanqing stood three steps away from the park bench and witnessed everything. Then she turned around and walked away. She didn't know in what capacity she came up to talk to him. But the project had to be hers. The contract between Lexiang Life and Zhilian Technology has been locked for half a year, and she is the only on-site contact person designated by Party A. The boss said: "If you don't take this project, your year-end bonus and supervisor promotion will be cleared." When she pushed the door open and walked into the temporary office, Lin Xu was lowering his head to adjust the equipment. It's been ten years and he's still using the same shampoo. He didn't look up, and the first thing he said was, "Long time no see, what do you call me now?" Xu Wanqing slapped his work badge on the table and said, "Your Party A." She thought she could keep things official. But he discovered that the child was not his, but adopted by his contract girlfriend and her partner. The woman is not his wife, but a college classmate with whom he signed a three-year mutual aid agreement. The bracelet is not a token of love. He took the blurry photo from that year and asked someone to make it according to it. "That message back then." One day when he worked overtime until early in the morning, he pulled out a few yellowed diagnosis sheets from his document bag, "It was the day I was afraid that I would not be able to survive and dare to have you." It's not his name on the diagnosis sheet. Xu Wanqing turned to the last page and saw a very familiar name - Lin Xu's mother. She didn't leave that night, settling the accounts of him suddenly disappearing without saying hello ten years ago until the early hours of the morning. "Lin Xu," she said, "I saw the favorites on your phone." Lin Xu froze. In that collection, every public update and photo of Xu Wanqing in the past ten years was stored. From university club photos, to graduation ceremonies, to work licenses on the first day of employment. One failed. The earliest one was from the day he first met Lin Xu, when he took a photo of her smiling face in the classroom. Lin Xu didn't delete any of them. In the eleventh year, Xu Wanqing finally understood - the boy pushed her away not because he didn't love her, but because he gave away his mother's hand and did not dare to hold anyone else's hand. But she is no longer the seventeen-year-old person who only waited. Xu Wanqing handed the phone back to him, pausing for a second just like he did ten years ago: "Lin Xu, you can't run away this time." Intention: Two people with sensitive hearts and insecurities have spent a long time learning to accept themselves from each other and understand that they are worthy of being well loved.
