Blurb:

The first time Yang Shu meets Lu Jinhuai, he's an eighteen-year-old boy, handsome, cool, and immaculate in a white shirt, working part-time at a bar to pay his way through school.

Drunk, she insists on clinging to the boy and won't let go. Pouting plaintively, she says, "A Jin, hold me. You haven't held me in so long."

"A Jin" is the man she never got to marry.

That night marks the second anniversary of her beloved's death. She spends the night with an eighteen-year-old boy, leaves a check for one hundred thousand yuan the next day, and disappears without a trace.

The second time they meet, he is the prospective fiance of her niece in an arranged marriage. They run into each other at a family banquet.

After the banquet, Lu Jinhuai corners her against the hood of his red Porsche Cayenne in the underground parking garage. In a low voice, he asks, "Was your A Jin better than me?"

Yang Shu gives a bitter smile. "No one in this world was better than him."

Lu Jinhuai looks defeated and lowers his head to kiss the corner of her lips. "Forget him. Let me love you."

Yang Shu shakes her head. No one knows what A Jin means to her. When the world abandoned her, A Jin became her only light.

She turns Lu Jinhuai down.

She has been looking for people like him, hoping to find a trace of A Jin in them.

After A Jin died, he donated all his organs, saving several broken families.

She searches for a long time but finds nothing. No one can tell her where A Jin ended up.

Until one day, she receives a gift from a stranger.

Inside is her favorite painting and a cassette tape.

There's also a card that reads, "Can you hear it? This is his heartbeat, and it's mine, too."

With tears blurring her eyes, she listens to the recording and looks at the name signed on the card.

-- Lu Jinhuai

The third time they meet, Lu Jinhuai pulls her close, brushes the snowflakes off her, and holds her against his chest. His voice is low as he says, "Yang Shu, I'll let you hear his heartbeat. When you hold me, it's like you're holding him. Marry me, and I'll spoil you."

Before I met you, I was prepared to be alone for the rest of my life.

After I met you, I was prepared never to love anyone else.

But then Lu Jinhuai came along. He loves me. He loves me so much.
