On the day I got my haircut, my engagement was annulled. I thought that I would be trapped in poverty for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, Lin Xun's arrival was like a warm and gentle wind, soothing me. He took me out of the quagmire and towards the bright future. His slightly cold fingers passed through the gaps between his fingers and interlocked with mine. "This year, next year, every year." "It will be like this." "Aru, can your words count?" I put my other hand on his fingers. "Count."

The day I confided my feelings to Lin Ye, even the summer wind was filled with heat. He hugged me tightly and his tone was gentle and sincere. "Once a teacher, always a husband." "Teach you Chinese calligraphy, Yuanshan Temple, Linjiang, Hetang, like Zhaoyi." He touched my head and spoke slowly in my ear, word by word. Accompanied by the chirping of cicadas, the carriage rumbled away into the distance. He held my hand, as usual.

I got my haircut that day, and the engagement was annulled. Originally, I thought that I would have to live in such poverty for the rest of my life. Who would have thought that the appearance of Lin Xun was like a warm, soft wind, comforting me all of a sudden. He pulled me out of that mess and gave me new hope. His cool hand passed through the gaps between my fingers and clasped my fingers tightly together. "This year, next year, and every year in the future." "It has to be like this." "Aru, can't your words not count?" I put my other hand on his finger. "Count."
