When You Turn to Look Back

Ye Qiu stood in the corridor outside the classroom, the gentle sunlight falling on her, creating a tranquil, beautiful scene. In a corner, a boy tried to appear calm, but the storm raging inside him was almost impossible to contain. He rose and happened to brush past the graceful girl in the corridor. In that instant, the one who had secretly kept his love hidden could hide it no longer. He stared at her retreating figure from the corner for a long time. "When will you turn around and look back?"

He found ways to get close to her. A promise made after the college entrance exams remained unfulfilled in Ye Qiu's heart; neither of them had yet had the chance to keep it. Whenever they parted, Zou Yong would call her, and she would turn around. Watching her walk away, he thought, "Silly girl, that's one more time. I can say goodbye to you just one more time at most. Next time you turn around, I won't let you go."

Then she fell from the clouds into the depths of despair. The Ye family was gone. Surrounded by countless mocking voices, she took her younger sister and set out on an uncertain journey. One hardship after another made her resilient and dependable, but in the quiet of the night, she still thought of him. "Another year has passed without me noticing. Are you... doing all right?"

Until one day, that familiar voice rang out. She turned gently and saw the familiar figure standing outside the classroom. Should she bravely step forward, or turn and leave? The Earth is round, and no matter where you are, we will meet again.

Later, beneath the parasol trees, she turned around as he watched her walk away. He called softly, and she looked back at him. Just as before, nothing had changed. But this time, Ye Qiu heard him say, "This time, I'm not letting go."

It turned out that the journey from school uniforms to wedding gowns was only one more glance from you away.
