Qi Yao has liked Yu Jiashu for ten years.

Qi Yao later felt that all the dark times in her life had ended at that moment.
His usually cold and casual eyes were clear as he stood in the biting winter night wind, like a snow-covered cedar tree, whispering softly: “Will it be too late to reply to the letter ten years later?"
