Ever since she was little, Ruan Tang had been no more than a shadow trailing Hua Hai. She lowered herself into the dirt just so she could stand behind him, watch him act cool, and see him smile.
Ruan Tang thought that getting into the same university as Hua Hai would finally give her a chance to confess.
Then she found out that Hua Hai had a girlfriend.

Back in high school, Ruan Tang built a wall around her heart and decided she wouldn’t fall in love again.
But the person she was determined to avoid only drew closer and closer.
On the night after the college entrance exams, Hua Hai stopped Ruan Tang outside her home and confessed.
“Will you be my girlfriend?”
Ruan Tang stared at him in disbelief, then shook her head as if he were a little kid. “You’re still too young.”

Five years later, Ruan Tang went to the airport to pick up a client, only to meet someone she never expected.
When Hua Hai stood before her in a suit and tie, she couldn’t hide her momentary daze.
In the cramped storage room,
he loosened his tie.
His voice grew husky, and his hot breath brushed Ruan Tang’s face. “Do you still think I’m too young?”
Ruan Tang: ...

Hua Hai was certain Ruan Tang would always follow him. He never imagined that one day he would fall into depression and die because he had lost her.
After ten years of longing, he woke to find himself reunited with her, still in the bloom of her youth. But she said, “Hua Hai, I don’t love you anymore.”
Oh my god! I watched the ending so quickly that I didn't even react. There is no sea of flowers and the sweetness of Ruan Tang 😢
