Story summary

He Qing agreed to keep a difficult-to-grow old orchid for Xu Lin, but months later the plant had not bloomed, making her worry she had failed his trust and tempted to quietly replace it with a healthier one of the same variety. When Xu Lin returned, she ultimately confessed the care process and showed him the actual records. He cared more about whether the original plant had been tended with care, and the two decided to adjust the environment and keep observing; the nature of their promise shifted from guaranteeing blooms to honestly reporting changes.
