His Persistent Longing

His Persistent Longing Plot:

Su Xiao, a rookie in the workplace, had just emerged from a broken relationship and went to an ancient town to heal, only to be “haunted” by Lin Shen, a mysterious painter—he drew her profile downstairs every day, gave her homemade osmanthus cakes, and even stayed with her all night when she had a fever. But when Su Xiao gradually let her guard down, she found an old photo of a girl identical to herself in Lin Shen’s drawer, and a ten-year-old train ticket to her hometown in his wallet. When she pressed him for answers, Lin Shen suddenly disappeared, leaving only an unfinished painting: the girl in the painting wore her high school white dress, with the old sycamore tree of her alma mater in the background. It turned out Lin Shen was her neighbor’s little boy ten years ago, who had to transfer schools due to a serious illness and couldn’t say goodbye. Now recovered, he had been searching for her for years—his “obsessive clinging” was actually an “unfinished goodbye” spanning a decade.
