On a business trip to Beijing, Siyu keeps bumping into Zhu Xichen, a charming, roguish playboy. From his stepping in when an old classmate harasses her to their candid conversations under anonymous usernames online, an unspoken attraction quietly takes root. Their mutual crush blossoms into a shy confession, and the ring Zhu Xichen gives her seems like a promise of forever. But the shock of reality soon shatters it to pieces.
Just as Siyu thinks that chapter of her love life has turned its final page, Xiao Wu quietly enters the picture. To everyone else, he seems ordinary, but he becomes the person she cherishes most in her heart. Love has never made much sense. Xiao Wu's love is like the deep sea, calm yet turbulent, with possessiveness and tenderness woven into a sweet set of shackles. Even after they break up, the past keeps returning to haunt her in the dead of night.
Behind this seemingly fiery romance, however, lay a web of schemes. Though brief, it truly taught her independence and how to let go. It turns out that affection can be acted out. Those subtle details were nothing more than truths she had deliberately chosen to ignore.
Only after stumbling through it all did she understand that life is like opening a mystery box: you never know whether the next piece will be sweet or sour. But these “love experience cards” are what turned her from a girl who agonized over love into an adult brave enough to raise a glass to herself. Now Siyu carries a pocketful of stories and keeps moving forward, humming a hopelessly off-key tune. After all, who hasn't had to fall before learning to run with grace?
In the end, she finally understood: Zhu Xichen awakened her longing for a free and open kind of love, while Xiao Wu showed her the obsession and loss of self that love can bring. Pulled between pain and light, Siyu finally learned to love herself and realized that the deepest love isn't always the right path. Life is like the clash of sea salt and milk candy: both bitterness and sweetness nourish us. May we all return with our youthful hearts intact!
A person's awakening depends 1% on being reminded by others and 99% on being cut into pieces. If the mind is not dead, the Tao will not be born. If the desire is not destroyed, the Tao will not exist. If the mind is not suffering, the wisdom will not be enlightened. If the body is not suffering, the fortune will not be rich. No one's dissuasion will make you realize the truth. It will really make you wake up from a dream and see through the world. Only through suffering, being injured, surviving after being put to death, and surviving after being trapped in death, human beings are. Those who cannot be awakened are awakened by pain, by being beaten, by being thrown, or by being tricked. If a person does not truly walk through the trough, he will not be able to awaken. Awakening depends on oneself. Maturity lies in adversity, and awakening occurs in desperate situations. All people who have achieved great enlightenment have struggled in purgatory. There is no cure. They crush themselves to pieces and then pinch themselves again. If they are at the end of the road, it will be like a broken bamboo. This is a passage I just read, and I share my encouragement with the author. I think the author has not been having an easy time recently. From the beginning to the present, it has obviously been a long day. I feel that the author has changed a lot all at once. Many things from the past seem to be missing. Come on! Find yourself first, and then remember to love yourself. Come on! The boy chasing the wind! Young man like the wind, you will definitely come back to life! 👍👍👍👍
