[Childhood sweethearts + reunion after a long separation + extreme pulling]
She always thought that love was a flat bowl of water. It wasn't until someone poured most of the bowl to another person that she discovered that the remaining ripples contained not only grievances, but also indescribable resentment toward the "preferred one."
But the starting point of resentment is also the earliest heartbeat. And the coldness she felt wrapped up in her resentment could not outweigh the warmth of the favored person who always held for her.
…
When she was young, she took the initiative to get close to the gloomy and silent boy, gave him warmth, and took him home.
The maternal love he lacked since childhood was made up for in her family. Her mother regarded him as her own, even preferring him to her biological daughter.
But this preference became a twisted thorn in her heart.
She gradually disliked him due to her mother's favoritism, pushed him away in the most extreme way, and stayed away from the environment that was suffocating to her.
He didn't know what he had done wrong, he only knew that she came close to her for no reason, but she stayed away for no reason.
Three years later, she returned home in embarrassment and had to ask him for help.
And he is no longer the cautious boy he used to be. Her return has opened the wounds between the two that have been buried for many years.
Hidden in her hatred is unresolved love, and beneath his love lies unhealed pain.
