Mint Candy Memories

Ten years of secret love, flowing silently, finally merged into the long river of regret that separates life and death. ** When she was a student, Gu Lingwei turned the girl's thoughts into cool mint candies and quietly handed them to her dazzling classmate, the school darling Jiang Shanwei. The smell of cigarette smoke on his fingertips and the scent of mint on her palms formed the most secret footnote of youth. The seven-year secret love was deeply buried when she accidentally heard him say, "I don't talk about feelings, I'm just a student now." She thought that the one-man show had never had an audience. However, the red thread of fate has never been truly broken. Gu Lingwei silently followed Jiang Shanli's footsteps and went from medical school to the emergency department to become a doctor. After ten years of secret love, she mustered up the courage to confess her love. But the cruelest ending awaited - Jiang Shanli, who had become an anti-drug police officer, was seriously injured while performing a major mission and was rushed to the hospital where she was located. On the operating table, she tried her best, but she could only watch the life of the man she had loved for ten years passing by at her fingertips. That "I love you" that was ten years late finally turned into a heartbreaking echo. When the truth came a whole year late. The second year after Jiangshan Lei's death, his younger brother brought a dusty diary. The yellowed page revealed a secret that made Gu Lingwei heartbroken and suddenly realized: It turned out that the boy she once looked up to had quietly been attracted to her in high school. He cherished every mint candy on the rooftop in his heart; the photo that made her heart beat faster and had "Sunflower Freedom" tattooed on her arm was his clumsy but passionate confession - it was his blessing and expectation tattooed on her for her who was trapped in the quagmire of her original family and longed to break free. His "not talking" back then was because he was afraid that he would not be able to give her a stable future; he had been waiting, waiting for himself to be strong enough, and for her to truly be free. Ten years of two-way secret love passed by due to misunderstanding, cowardice and fate, and finally became forever. "The freedom of sunflowers" became his last will and testament. With irreparable regrets and a diary that carried ten years of affection, Gu Lingwei resolutely resigned from her job three years after Jiangshan Lei died. She carries his "Freedom" on her back and heads towards the painful place of the world. In a war-torn country, she used a scalpel as a weapon and saved lives and wounded every day for seven years, as if completing her unfinished protection for him and trying to find redemption in saving others. When the smoke cleared, she started wandering with his soul, from the aurora in Iceland to the fjords of Norway, and finally stopped in the quiet and free Switzerland. At the foot of the snow-capped mountains and by the clear lake, she finally lived the way he expected - like a sunflower, tough, independent, always moving towards Purpose: Freedom is the ultimate salvation and highest gift of the soul
