Chapter 1 Prologue

  He always thought that if those things hadn't happened, they should have written a beautiful ending by now.

  Because the worldly attachments we hold are just fleeting dreams. After a hundred years, they will also turn into a pile of yellow earth, only the promises made in life after life are engraved on the stone of three lives, the sea and the mulberry fields, never to be erased.

  Do you know whose story is now engraved on the Saro tree?

  A glance back, destined a lifetime of entanglement, our lives are all stories, and the beautiful continuation I wrote is indeed what I hoped for.

  He just hopes for one life, one lifetime, and one pair of people, nothing more.

  They, among the multitude of lives, are just a drop in the ocean, without any earth-shaking or heaven-moving love legends, only with that faint light in their hearts guiding them.

  The heart was locked, without any awareness, but that thought had already entered the bone. When they met again, it reminded them of their dependence on each other when they were young, and at that time, they really believed that each other was the only one.

  Because of missing someone and feeling lonely, because loving someone and being gentle; because having a dream and being persistent, because waiting for someone and being tormented.

  They say that all the hardships in this life are just waiting for someone to spend a lifetime with, so if she has traveled through mountains and rivers to come to you, can't you just be together and love each other until the end of the world?

  She said someone had once told them never to forget to smile, for a smile is the morning sun of life.

  No matter when, don't forget to plant your wishes, without wishes tomorrow is meaningless.

  What's the difference even if it's cloudy and dark?

  When you open your eyes, you can always find the light!

  What's the difference even if the sky is higher tomorrow?

  On tiptoes, you can get closer to the sunshine.

  But losing him is his greatest pain in this life, how can he smile?

  He said the most painful distance is when you are not by my side, but in my heart.

  He said he believed in this fairy tale, believing that as long as one's heart is willing, they will grow old together without ever parting.

  It was just six years of separation that made them a determined conviction, like a lonely boat on the sea.

  Reunited once more, that hidden love has long been building up and is now bursting forth in a catastrophic manner.

  Years later, when he stood on the street, he remembered that girl, the girl with a smile like sunshine, the girl who once belonged to him. Such happiness was so simple that it became a luxury in the face of reality.

  When forgetting becomes another beginning, memories fade, and pain is most real.

  Years flow by, waiting for someone to share life's joys and sorrows with.

  Their home remained unchanged until one day she came back to the house that once belonged to them. The sense of familiarity immediately spread out.

  "He said: 'Lost your memory? No big deal, it's better if you don't remember. If you do remember, then you must still remember how much I loved you back then.'"

  She said: "I thought... it was just my imagination. Among the countless people, only he still reserved that long-lasting love for me. But after all that has happened, will we still have a future?"

  Reunion is a new understanding between two people.

  He said I don't care if you still love me like before. What I care about now is whether your future can have me.

  In the boundless wilderness of time over thousands of years. Amongst millions of people, to have met you is a chance encounter.

  He was fortunate that he didn't arrive a step earlier or later, but just in time, and then had her again.

  Six years ago, a wrong decision made him lose the one he loved. Six years later, they met again, and he was overjoyed, but had to make every effort to pursue his wife.

  It's okay, the story hasn't ended yet, we can take it slow.

  "He said: 'Miss Ye, you're destined to be mine.'"

  She said: "Mr. Chu, you still need to work hard if you want to marry me. Because I'm not interested in marrying you yet."

  He said: "I forgot to tell you, you are my only obsession, whether it is now or later."

  Maybe you're not the best, but indeed the one I cherish most.
