Meeting You at Year’s End

[Urban Slice of Life | Reunion After Years Apart | Finding Their Way to Each Other] At twenty-nine, Shen He calls off her wedding and moves into an apartment with just eight months left on its lease. On her first night there, she locks herself out. The door across the hall opens, and standing there is Chen Yu, the senior who asked her to dinner seven years ago but never got the chance to see her. Wedding supplies are still at her feet, and the celebratory character on one box has only been half torn off. He’s holding a pair of chopsticks, and soup is bubbling away in his kitchen. After seven years apart, their reunion begins with dinner. Later, she returns the phone charger she borrowed and treats him to a meal in return. Before long, she finds herself looking forward to getting off work and thinking up reasons to see him again. Chen Yu has a workload that never lets up, and payments that are always late. He doesn’t have much time to spare for her, but whenever they make plans, he carefully clears his schedule. But her lease is only for eight months, and a new job opportunity might take her to another city. When life forces her to make another choice, can they finally admit how they feel and plan a future together?
