On New Year's Eve, Su Xiao was surrounded by relatives—pressured to marry, compared over salaries, and mocked as a "leftover woman". Just as she was about to escape, Lu Chuan, her high school deskmate who had vanished for five years, suddenly appeared. In a tailored suit, he pulled out a CEO business card of an overseas startup, put his arm around her, and told the relatives, "I'm her fiancé, here to plan our wedding this year." He also slammed high-end gifts on the table: "This is for Xiao Nian—way better than your supermarket coupons." The relatives fell silent, but Su Xiao was stunned—Lu Chuan once defended her from a school bully in high school before suddenly going abroad without a word. On New Year's Day morning, Lu Chuan left a note saying, "I came back to protect you from harm" and rushed to the airport. Staring at the snow outside, Su Xiao suddenly remembered Lu Chuan's high school promise: "I'll come back to marry you when I've made enough money." She grabbed her coat and ran to the airport—but would she catch him in time?
