Jiao Jiao's Year of Long-Awaited Joy

share time: 2025-12-20 00:31:27

Lin Jiaojiao has run her grandma's wonton shop in the old alley for eight years, waiting for Zhou Suiyan—the boy who promised to take her to see New Year's Eve fireworks a decade ago, only to disappear that night, leaving an unopened pearl hairpin. On a snowy night this year, a man in a camel coat enters, points to the corner seat, and orders "wontons with goji berries" (Suiyan's signature flavor). When Jiaojiao serves the bowl, the man pulls out a crumpled fireworks ticket: "I searched half the country for a fireworks factory just to keep our decade-old promise." It's then she realizes: the warm lamp in the shop, the umbrellas on rainy nights, even her grandma's medical bills—all were Suiyan's "little secrets". He never ran away; he just feared he was too poor to be with her. Now, he finally dares to ask: "Jiao Jiao, I've saved enough money. Will you marry me?"
