Twilight

On the day Su Wan married into the Lu family, it rained heavily in Jiangcheng. Lu Hanzhou did not come to pick up the bride. He came back drunk at night and said his first words to her - "I have never acknowledged this marriage." After three years of cold marriage, she put a gardenia at the door of his study every morning. He took it away every time, never asking who put it there. She was pregnant with his child, and he accompanied Bai Yueguang to the art exhibition. When she fell down the stairwell of the shopping mall, she was still holding the B-ultrasound sheet in her hand - the fetal heart rate was normal, 14 weeks old. The child is gone. She signed the divorce agreement and took a train to an ancient southern town called Yunqi alone. Later, Lu Hanzhou found an unfinished letter in the attic - "Baby, this is the first and last letter that mommy writes to you..." Later, he learned how to cut ginger shreds, make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and told Lao Chen, the fish seller at the market, "Don't have too many bones—someone in the family doesn't eat fish." He stayed in the B&B next door to hers and put a bouquet of gardenias and a note at her door every morning. She neither chases him away nor keeps him. I only said one sentence—— "Put less sugar in the sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Remember that." Later, there were only five people and a cat at the wedding. He put the ring on her left ring finger and whispered something. No one else heard. But she heard— "This marriage—I admit it." **Six years. The gardenia went from being a nuisance to being harmless, the breakfast went from two portions to both being eaten, and the ring returned from the right hand to the left hand. It wasn't that she forgave him - it was that he finally deserved her. ** Concept: In a marriage, the deepest hurt is not cheating or domestic violence, but "not being seen" - you make breakfast and he never eats it, you put flowers and he never asks, you wait for him from dusk to dawn and he never comes back. It took the heroine Su Wan three years to learn one thing: before loving someone, you must not lose yourself. What this book wants to talk about is not "how miserable it is for a man to chase his wife", but "how can one person be worthy of another person". Lu Hanzhou's atonement was not to kneel down and beg for mercy, nor to spend money like water, but to learn to cut ginger shreds, make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and tell the fish seller "Don't have too many bones—someone in the family doesn't eat fish." He proved one thing in the most clumsy way: he was no longer the person who didn't even know why she didn't eat onions. Gardenias appear throughout the book - from "nuisance" to "non-poisonous", from being thrown away to being planted in the courtyard of the B&B by his own hands. Six years have passed in a circle, the ring has returned from the right hand to the left hand, and breakfast has gone from two portions and one portion to being eaten by both portions. The so-called "broken mirror reunites" does not mean that the mirror has never been broken, but that after it was broken, he picked it up piece by piece and learned how to put it back together.
