A Fine Time to Await Your Words

In the best years of my life, I had only Shi Yan. If I let him go, what would I do?

He is a well-known voice actor in the industry, and she is a magazine reporter. She is captivated by his gentle, low voice, and he, too, longs for the warmth she gives him.

In his deep voice, he says, "I've been waiting for her all along. I know she'll come back one day, so I work hard to become a better person. Even without her, I keep living my life, all so she can see a better version of me."

Neither of them knows how to love. They hold each other close, hurt by one another's sharp edges. They have tried to let go, but love has sunk deep into their bones. Even when it hurts, they would rather sink into it.

Buddha says that when the heart is still, there is no harm. But once the heart stirs, people act rashly, wounding their bodies and aching to the bone, and so they experience every kind of suffering in this world.

Even when the pain cuts to the bone, he accepts it willingly.
