One summer night after graduating from college, she wrote a letter beneath the lamplight:
Dear Mr. Yan,
I'm so grateful that you gave me a place to live when I was homeless, and I'm also so thankful for your support over these past seven years! I've found my first job now. I'd like to bring you here so we can live together. What do you think? From now on, I can take care of you in your old age, okay?
Wishing you a long life!
Cheng Sui
A letter took a whole year to arrive, its journey spanning all four seasons.
Yan Nian received her letter the following winter. By then, he had just celebrated his hundredth birthday.
He was so excited he couldn't sleep all night.
"Yan Nian, what are you looking at?" someone asked.
The hundred-year-old youth held the letter in his hands, blushing, his eyes sparkling. "My wife wrote me a letter!"
"Since when do you have a wife?"
Everyone was astonished.
Snow gathered all over his head as he curled his beautiful eyes into a smile. "For a long time."
The letter he sent got no reply for a whole year, but every month, a large sum of money was transferred into Cheng Sui's bank account right on time. The amount transferred recently had even made her a multimillionaire.
She was fretting over how to find the elderly gentleman who had supported her, when, on a snowy night, she suddenly heard the doorbell ring.
The young man outside had snow on his shoulders. His thick, dark hair was wet, and he stood there clutching a backpack, shyly calling her, "Wife."
"...What?" Cheng Sui stared at him in shock.
"You said you'd take care of me, so I came... I..." Maybe he was afraid she'd change her mind. His face flushed with anxiety. "I gave you all my money, so you have to keep your promise."
He seemed to have automatically ignored the word "old age" in her letter's promise to take care of him.
Mr. Yan wasn't a lonely old gentleman living in some distant mountain. He was a young man who had kept her in his thoughts for many years.
Ever since that night long ago,
when he gave her the name "Cheng Sui," he had already missed her dearly.
