Visible to You Only

[Clear-eyed flower presser falls step by step for a rising tech star]

Life is like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs;

Like the tide, it surges and then recedes, leaving a tranquil shore behind.

After twenty-six years of everything going smoothly, Qiao Mu took her first real fall.

It was a nasty one: she quit her job, slipped back home, and packed herself up and sent herself off to someone else.

Facing a man who claimed it was love at first sight, and that he fell for her even more the second time around,

Qiao Mu came to her senses and concluded that she'd been tricked into marriage.

So every day, Qiao Mu devoted herself to finding proof that the man was lying. But the deeper she dug, the deeper her heart sank.

"Qiao Mu, choose me. I promise you won't regret it." A promise from Song Ci.

Song Ci once thought he was destined to spend his life alone,

but Heaven took pity on him and brought him together with Qiao Mu again.

Since they married, the words Qiao Mu has said most often are, "Song Ci, you must be the rescue team Heaven sent me."

Song Ci wanted to deny it. The true rescuer had never been him, but Qiao Mu herself.

As a boy, Song Ci was sensitive and insecure; Qiao Mu was confident, generous, and radiant.

Though their personalities were polar opposites, like parallel lines, they crossed paths one afternoon.

When light appears, everything takes on color;

When Qiao Mu appeared, Song Ci found his spring.

"Classmate, life should be an open wilderness, not a lonely road." A warmth from Qiao Mu.

A little scene from their married life

"Song Ci, let's play a game."

"Let's spin a water bottle. Whoever it points to has to answer a question from the other person."

The bottle pointed to Song Ci on the very first spin.

"Do you have any secrets?"

"No."

"Come clean. Married couples should be more honest with each other."

When Song Ci said nothing, Qiao Mu took his phone.

His social media feed had nearly a hundred posts visible only to him, all about her.

"Don't cry. I've gotten what I wanted, and I'm happy," Song Ci said. He couldn't bear to see Qiao Mu cry, and tenderly wiped away her tears.

All Song Ci could do was give thanks. At last, his love had come into the light, and his wish had come true.
