Seeing the look in Bai Chun’s eyes, Chen Xuan knew that this pure-hearted girl still harbored the same romantic feelings for him that she had years ago.
This inevitably stirred up some beautiful memories for Chen Xuan. Everyone, perhaps, encounters such a girl in their life—innocent, wonderful, and entirely untouched by worldly materialism. She might be the deskmate from middle school or a quiet figure in the corner of the classroom, the smiling face that lent you a tissue across the library table in college, or the only new colleague willing to talk to you when you first entered society, lost and uncertain…
For most people, even when they know the other person’s heart, they often lack the courage to speak up. Because, in their youth, they had nothing and could offer no future, leading to endless missed opportunities, regrets, and lifelong sorrow. By the time they achieve success years later, finally possessing the houses and cars to give them confidence, they return to find that the girl who was once so loving, simple, and kind has already married and is raising a family. At that point, they may have to face her soul-piercing question: "Why have you come for me only now? Do you know how long I waited for you to speak up back then?"
