Her Nan Mo had grown up, no longer the naive young boy he used to be. In his arms, she felt so small and fragile, as if he were a tree, and she, a little blade of grass nestled beneath it.
Since childhood, he had always been the tree that shielded her from the wind and rain.
She thought she could rely on him forever, look up to him, and be protected by him.
However, one day, her tree was taken away; she was left to grow up alone, facing the storms by herself. Later, she truly became like a little blade of grass, resilient against the winds and rains.
Whenever she felt like she couldn't hold on, just thinking of him would fill her dark world with sunshine.
She believed that when she was finally able to reach him, true happiness would follow.
But when she did find him, he had overnight become another person—a married man who could only call her "sister-in-law" in front of others...
How cruel and ridiculous.
Yet all she could do was accept it.
