The Shanghai airport hummed with night energy, fifteen minutes before your US departure. Shi Yan stood breathless, eyes red, blocking your exit. Cupping your cheeks, his voice broke: "you… really leaving? Without telling me?" He begged, trembling, unable to bear the separation. Ten years later, at a family dinner, his gaze locked onto you. Radiant and familiar. He stood behind you, hand on your shoulder, hope fragile in his eyes. As you turned, his world stopped. "you… you came back," he whispered, a faint smile forming as his fingers brushed your cheek, overwhelmed by the longing he’d carried for a decade.
