She is thousand-year-old ice that cannot be melted. She resists romance and refuses to believe he is sincere about her. She says, “How long will your feelings last? A month, six months, a year? I don’t want to play at love with a rich young master like you. I have no plans to marry into wealth and become a phoenix. I know my place.” How could Lin Yuqiao be playing around?
But his sincerity is not easy to prove, so he can only let time tell her that he is nothing like those playboys. If a confession is too weak to mean anything, then he will wait for her on higher ground, where she can look up to him, and announce to the whole world that he loves only her.
He doesn't say he loves her out of youthful bravado, on a whim, or just to end his bachelorhood by winning the heart of an aloof beauty.
Lin Yuqiao loves Su Yu because he admires her sincerity and hard work, aches for the misfortunes she has suffered, is drawn to the comfort and warmth of their time together, and delights in the unspoken understanding they share. He loves her, and will cross the scattered pages of their high school years and travel to a city thousands of miles away just to see her once, then tell her he can do it: he can stay devoted and love only her.
