On her birthday that year, Jiang Sui made a wish to the gods: she hoped she could stay by Qin Yanchuan's side forever.

Back then, she thought she could keep her feelings hidden forever in the dark, where no one could see them.

But the tide of love was impossible to conceal.

The day he found out, the girl was pale, swaying unsteadily as she clutched the man's sleeve. Her eyes red, she said, "I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me."

Qin Yanchuan turned his back to her. After a long silence, his low voice was utterly flat. "Jiang Sui, have I been too good to you, to make you imagine something like this?"

At that moment, Jiang Sui's faith crumbled. She knew she might be about to lose the person who loved her most in the world.

Later, the man saw her drunk, sitting by the river with another man and swinging her slender, pale legs as they enjoyed the breeze. His face darkened.

"Jiang Sui, think you're all grown up now? You dare drink and stay out all night?"

The slightly tipsy young woman looked aggrieved. "Didn't you say you weren't going to talk to me?"

He gritted his teeth. "As long as I'm alive, you're under my care."

Qin Yanchuan took her to a gathering with his friends.

Jiang Sui saw the older men she'd casually called Uncle in the past. After thinking it over, she blushed and stammered as she addressed one of them by his given name.

The man froze, then frowned. "Aren't you skipping a generation, young lady? You were still calling me Uncle Liang last month."

Qin Yanchuan said casually, "No, she's not. From now on, remember to call her sister-in-law when you see her."

His friend: "Damn... you're such a jerk!"

"Sixteen years ago, I moved with my parents from the south of the city to Shuiwei Lane. More than five thousand eight hundred days and nights have passed since then, and in every moment, I've been grateful to have met you."

It took Shi Yue over ten minutes after receiving the letter to remember who the name Jiang Wang, signed at the end, belonged to.

She first met Jiang Wang at her family's clinic. The boy was just over ten, pale and frail, with narrow eyes that seemed cold and utterly devoid of emotion. Whenever his chilling gaze fell on someone, it was enough to make them uneasy.

She never imagined that someone so brooding would write her a letter confessing his love before he died.

When Shi Yue woke up, she had returned to the age of ten. Jiang Wang, a year older than her, had only just moved to Shuiwei Lane with his parents.

The fifth-grade boy was frail, sickly, aloof, and taciturn, with a maturity far beyond his years.

At that point, he still had sixteen years left to live.

Shi Yue had always had the face of a well-behaved girl, with smooth features and bright, clear eyes. There wasn't a hint of aggression in her appearance.

But for all her soft and sweet nature, once she got stubborn, she could be as clingy as chewing gum.

Eighteen-year-old Jiang Wang looked at the girl blocking his way for what must have been the hundredth time and frowned in exasperation. "Shi Yue, what exactly do you want?!"

Shi Yue: "I think you'll like me someday."

He scoffed. "Impossible."

"Okay, then."

Shi Yue was very obedient. The next day, she went and latched onto someone else.

Jiang Wang was the first to lose his patience. He grabbed Shi Yue and pinned her in a corner. "How long did you mean when you said 'someday' last time?"

"Five, six, seven, eight years, I guess." Shi Yue wasn't sure, so she just blurted out a number.

Jiang Wang lowered his voice, sounding a little embarrassed.

"Could we make it sooner?"
