share time: 2026-02-03 06:06:00

Lin Xiaoman, a convenience store owner, thought she’d moved on from her first love Shen Mingyuan—who broke up with her three years ago—until he showed up with the doll they won together, saying, “I’m cured. I’m staying this time.” Meanwhile, her gentle boyfriend of six months, Lu Chuan, is secretly decorating a starry terrace (her favorite) to propose tonight. One is the unfulfilled regret of her youth; the other is the tangible warmth of the present. Holding the ginkgo leaf Shen gave her (a symbol of their old promise to plant a tree together), and glancing at Lu’s text “Wait for me after work,” Xiaoman suddenly spots something: the pill bottle in Shen’s pocket is exactly the same as the “friend’s medical record” Lu mentioned last week?
