He doesn't remember her.
She never reminds him.
The day she sat beside him, the sun was shining. He didn't look up, and she didn't say a word.
She knows he has a bad stomach, likes cold water, doesn't talk much, and doesn't need anyone's concern.
So she never gets close. She adjusts the water temperature, changes his bandages, and swaps out his instant noodles for soft rice, all where he can't see.
He doesn't know who she is. He only remembers that she was like a light from long ago:
quiet, gentle, never intrusive, yet never once gone.
Later, when his illness worsens, she is calmer than anyone else.
He says, "You knew all along?"
She says, "I didn't know it would be today, but I've been preparing all this time."
It's not a matter of coming closer. She's been here all along.
He doesn't know she loves him, and she never intended to let him know. Every story!
Theme: I don't ask you to remember all the good things I've done for you. I only hope you slowly learn to live well.
I feel sorry for Zhiyao 😭 but I was very moved after reading this chapter 😭 😭 😭 😭
I really like Lin Zhiyao like this. She finally expressed what she had been thinking for a long time. When readers read every word she said, her determined expression comes to mind. I like her perseverance. This time, Shen Zhi finally took a step back and allowed Lin Zhiyao to enter his life.
I was touched by Shen Zhi's words. "You asked, "Did I know it was you a long time ago?" I didn't answer. It's because——I really knew it too early, and I didn't dare to answer you." It feels like everything is hidden in this sentence. A short sentence, but full of weight. This chapter is warm, gentle, touching, but also sad. Shen Zhi and Zhiyao are really a perfect match in terms of silently observing each other.
Reading the author's words, following Zhiyao's mood, I wanted to get closer, but when the opportunity came, I backed away in fear. The closer you get and the more you know, the more you will greedily desire more, and you are also afraid that such desire will cause irreparable consequences, so you simply go back to the starting point, without desire or expectation, so that you don't have to face the possibility of loss. What is heartwarming is that Shen Zhi did not distance himself because of this, but instead moved closer to Zhiyuan little by little at his own pace. Shen Zhi is not passive, he is just slow. He knows that Zhiyao's efforts will not be taken for granted. Zhiyuan is moving, but Shen Zhi is still; Zhiyuan is quiet, and now Shen Zhi is moving. This kind of interaction can be regarded as a kind of tacit understanding.
The cautiousness of having a crush on someone and the desire to be seen. The author really describes this feeling very well and delicately.
After reading it, all that was left was endless sighs.
I didn't expect that Lin Zhiyao had such a playful side, and Shen Zhi was also serious about talking about love. Hahaha This chapter is indeed a bit sweet~~
In this chapter, we can finally see the obvious emotions of Lin Zhiyao and Shen Zhi, and they are no longer holding back. I like them like this.
Shen Zhi and Lin Zhiyao were very quiet in this chapter, and I also felt very quiet. (But my heart is not quiet at all) 😭
Lin Zhiyao finally stood in front of Shen Zhi step by step more actively and forcefully, while Shen Zhi also gave in step by step. Lin Zhiyao knew there was no rush, so he would stop every step he took to let Shen Zhi slow down and get used to it. Shen Zhi finally admitted for the first time in front of Lin Zhiyao that it hurt.
