Someone Will Cross Mountains and Seas for You 2

Lin Wan thought Shen Jin's arrival would mark the end of her bleak life.

She had always been used to curling up alone in the shadows, never daring to hope for anyone's special affection or believe she deserved to be treated well. Shen Jin made his way through the crowd to reach her, patient and quiet, never forcing her to heal too quickly. Little by little, he steadied her world as it teetered on the brink. When the first story ended, she tried reaching out and caught the light that had crossed the distance to find her.

But healing never happens in an instant.

When life settles into its usual routine, past wounds can still resurface without warning. A familiar scene or an offhand remark from someone else can easily drag Lin Wan back into the fear and self-doubt of the past. She is afraid her sensitivity and vulnerability will become a burden to Shen Jin. She fears that this hard-won journey to reach each other will eventually be worn away by her endless negativity.

Shen Jin remains calm and gentle. He has seen her at her most miserable and lost, yet he has never once pulled away. He understands her recurring fears and knows that whenever she reaches for him, she does so with hesitation and uncertainty. He does not demand that she leave her past behind for good. He only wants to stay by her side as she slowly makes peace with who she used to be.

At the same time, Lin Wan must face the knots she has carried deep within for years and learn not to rely on this light for everything. She must learn to grow a strength of her own. She is no longer someone who passively waits to be saved. She wants to walk toward him, too, and become someone who can stand beside him.

Across mountains and seas, he once crossed the distance to reach her. In this next chapter, Lin Wan learns to make her way through the mist and cross the distance to him.

The light and the one it illuminates move forward together, each learning how to love the other for the long haul.
