The Promise Sealed with Our Lips

The Promise Sealed with Our Lips by Guan Gai Man Jing Hua chronicles a complex relationship forged through high school. From their first year, a stark contrast emerges: the protagonist’s contempt met by his silent resilience. By their second year, he endures public ridicule, pleading to be beaten to appease her anger and earn her forgiveness. This marks the beginning of his silent devotion, marked by painful incidents like a gymnasium injury, his shame in layered clothing, and the physical toll he bore. The narrator recalls carrying a trembling him after these ordeals. Their third year brings a rift, fueled by a perceived betrayal stemming from her anger. Looking back, she questions the nature of this betrayal and his audacity in remaining her friend. Despite enduring further violence due to her rejection, his remorseful words persist: "I was the one who lied to you, it’s my fault for making you angry." A moment of profound gratitude arises as Shi Yan, overwhelmed by He Nuo’s words of thankfulness, hears, "You are the one who treats me the best!"
