After I grew closer to Gu Junyu, rumors and cold stares followed. Some people mocked him for being abnormal, while others advised me to consider someone else. Old acquaintances also kept stirring up trouble. But this time, I did not back down. He learned to stand his ground in public and silently protect me whenever I needed him, while I openly introduced him to my family and friends. His parents doted on him, and my family was eventually moved by his unwavering devotion, too. Throughout our journey, I came to believe that a truly compatible relationship is not defined by other people's opinions, but by whether two people choose each other and grow together. He once braved fire and water for me; now I am willing to hold his hand tightly and walk beside him toward every sunny day ahead.
