    Summary

    She was used to living behind walls.
    Behind logic, silence, and a cold caution that was so easily mistaken for indifference.
    Maomao had always believed in one simple truth: if you don’t let anyone too close, it hurts less.

    But some people do not stop at closed doors.
    They do not wait for permission.
    They do not retreat, even when pushed away time and time again.

    And one day, all that is left is to stand amidst the ashes, watching the bridges burn, knowing there is no going back to the person you used to be.

    💜      🌕     💚

    Evidently, for Maomao to realize that her "lukewarm water" is actually scalding hot, something extraordinary has to happen. And so, it did.
