Aunt, hello. I'm Sang Zhi. You don't have to worry. Duan Jiaxu is a very kind and outstanding person. He treats people well and is very sincere. He excels in his studies and performs well at work. To me, my parents, and everyone, he's a very good person. Although some bad things had happened in the past, he never gave up on himself. Instead, he worked hard and endured everything with a lot of hardship. If only you can see how excellent he is now, I'm sure you must have some regrets and worries too, right? But don't worry. I'll take good care of him. I'll make it up for him and make sure he's happy every day. So, I promise you that as long as I, Sang Zhi, am here, I won't let anyone bully Duan Jiaxu again. He'll have his family in the future. He has me and many others who love him. We all love you. So, you'll never be alone anymore. Okay?
what really gets me about jiaxu and sang zhi's relationship is the intensity of their feelings. they just.. love e/o so much, and it's evident in their actions and words, in how both jiaxu and sang zhi are always willing to go that extra length for each other.
my favorite instance of this being when sang zhi confesses her long time crush to him— a secret she'd buried deep down and was scared to reveal— in hopes that it would help jiaxu appreciate himself more. bc she was that afraid of losing him. and then both of them crying as he processes what he'd just heard.
like. imagine loving someone to the point it moves you to tears??? there's just something so pure and poignant about that and i couldn't help but cry along with them too
