Su Xiao waited for Lu Ming for five years—from high school uniforms to office suits—waiting for him with braised pork every Valentine's Day. On their fifth Valentine's Day, she stayed up till 3 AM only to get Lu Ming's message: "I have a new girlfriend. Let's break up." When she tore their couple photos, she found a ledger at the bottom of the box—every page had notes like "Money for Xiao's wedding dress" and "3,000 yuan left for Xiao's diamond ring." Then Lu Ming's colleague arrived, eyes red, handing over his phone: "Lu passed away from a heart attack last week. His last words were, 'Don't let Xiao know I didn't forget.'" It turned out Lu lied because he didn't want his poverty to drag Su Xiao down. The engagement ring he hid had "Xiao, I want to marry you" engraved inside. Suddenly the doorbell rang—it was the roses Lu ordered in advance, with a note in his handwriting: "Xiao, this Valentine's Day, I'll take you to watch the sunset by the sea."
