When He Smiles

In her younger days, Meng Sheng Nan experienced a crush. However, she was uncertain whether she was his type, leading her to bury her feelings for him. Years later, she encountered him once more in her hometown. He was no longer the wild and carefree young man but now frequently wandered the old streets of JiangCheng in flip-flops. In front of her, he appeared unkempt and dirty, his eyes reflecting a past filled with struggles. Her heart raced as he pursued her. For her sake, he had made fresh attempts and started anew to redeem himself. It felt as if he was responding to the words she had inscribed in a book she had given him years ago: "I want him to amend his ways and not waste his youth."
