In this emotionally charged episode, the narrative delves into the intricate dynamics of a relationship between Chen Chu and the narrator. Starting with a metaphorical exploration of Chen Chu's heart, described not as a divided cake but as an interconnected tree with intertwining roots, the story traces the evolution of their romance from a chance encounter during a movie to the complexities of balancing personal priorities. As external pressures and Chen Chu's altruistic nature create a distance, the narrator grapples with the realization that she might not be the central figure in Chen Chu's life. The culmination occurs during a poignant Valentine's Day and a simulated earthquake, underscoring the sacrifices and enduring bonds that define their connection. The narrative paints a nuanced picture of love's complexities, sacrifices, and the resilient nature of deep-rooted connections.
