She ran towards the bus with her short legs, only to see the bus start up and slowly drive away.

No matter how hard she ran, it kept getting further and further away from her. She ran and cried, and all the cotton candy flew away.

Finally, unable to run any further, she watched helplessly as the boy's face, reflected in the window, slowly disappeared from her tear-blurred vision.

Wiping away her tears with her chubby little hands, she saw the faint smile on the boy's receding face. That smile was like a spring breeze melting the snow in winter, and she remembered it for a very long time.

What impressed me most were those eyes, as black as ink, seemingly indifferent and aloof, but once they smiled, they were so gentle, like the rising sun.

Ni Sitian had never recalled this incident so clearly as she did at this moment; she even remembered the marks her dirty little hands had left on his white shirt.

After listening to her recount this past event, Xu Tingchuan gradually recalled some things. He had secretly returned from abroad in the summer when he was 15, but he didn't tell anyone, not even his grandfather.

Moreover, he only stayed in the country for three days before hurriedly returning home.

The time he took the little kid home was the same time he was going to the airport, and he almost missed his flight.

"You remembered, didn't you?" Ni Sitian looked at him hopefully.

Seeing her expectant expression, Xu Tingchuan couldn't help but tease her. He frowned and said, "It's been so long. I'm old and my memory is very blurry. I don't even know if it's you or not."

"How could that be? I remember everything." Ni Sitian felt a little disappointed that he had forgotten her.

She missed Cotton Candy Brother for a very long time, waiting at the bus stop every day. Back then, she just thought that since he was on this bus, one day the bus would bring him back to her side.

But she waited and waited, from kindergarten to kindergarten, his face had long since become blurred in her memory, and the imprint of his smile had gradually faded, only his eyes still remembered the indifference and tenderness within them.

Time has passed by so much, and this memory has been gradually sealed away as she grew up.

"You really don't remember me?" Ni Sitian's face drooped a little, and her mouth pursed.

It feels so bad when only one person cares while the other forgets.

She was so disappointed and upset just because he forgot such a small past event, but she forgot their marriage of more than a year, forgot the process of falling in love with him, and yet he was still so good to her and didn't hold a grudge against her at all.

In those forgotten memories, he must have loved her very, very much. She longs to know every detail of their love.

"I was just kidding you, I remember now, don't cry." Xu Tingchuan saw that her eyes were red and thought she was upset because he had forgotten her, so he anxiously cupped her face in his hands.

Ni Sitian held back the tears welling up in her eyes, rushed over and hugged Xu Tingchuan, murmuring apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have forgotten you."

So that's why she cried. Xu Tingchuan breathed a sigh of relief, gently hugged her, patted her back, and smiled faintly: "Silly girl, I'm not blaming you."

She had no idea how grateful he was that she had woken up. Even if she forgot him, what did it matter? As long as she was alive, that was more important than anything else. Everything else could be started over, but life only comes once.

"I'm sorry." Ni Sitian buried her face in his neck and murmured repeatedly, feeling for the first time such a strong urge to regain her memories.
