[Childhood Sweetheart vs. Sudden Arrival] [Push and Pull to the Extreme vs. Ultimate Tension] [The Aesthetics of a Tragic Ending] [Secret Crush] [School Life]
She’s an average student with an average appearance, but her childhood sweetheart is handsome, a top student, and always singled out for praise.
They grew up together, and the question he asked her more than any other was: “Do you like it?”
For a brief moment, she was the heroine of his life story, but she would never be its heroine forever.
In her world, childhood sweethearts never stand a chance against someone who comes along later. She believes that childhood friends growing up together and walking from the school campus to the wedding altar is something that only happens in TV dramas.
Her best friend once asked her what love meant to her. She said, “Love can be Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, or Romeo and Juliet. It could even be Lu Sanshui and anyone at all, but it could never be Lu Sanshui and Mu Zhulan.”
In the end, her love for him was just like their names: water drawn in a bamboo basket, gone without a trace.
“Reuniting with your secret crush is the kind of plot that only happens in novels. It could never happen to her.”
