[Campus + Secret Crush + Bittersweet Ending]
“You are Lu, and I am Cheng. Together, we should have been a lifetime's journey.”
Lu Xiang and Cheng Xunjian meet in a tender twist of fate. He wipes a window she can't reach and smiles, saying their names are destined to form the word “journey.” Throughout their four years at university, they're closer than anyone, yet quieter than anyone. Neither has the courage to confess, until a bouquet of lily of the valley on graduation day announces his wedding.
Only later does Lu Xiang understand: Cheng Xunjian is a mountain, visible but impossible to reach. Chen Heyao is the sun, whose light falls on her without her having to make the climb.
Some kinds of love take courage even to begin. Their story ends with the affection they never spoke aloud.
Over mountains, through rivers, Lu Xiang never did make it through the rest of his life with him. But her sun finally lights up all the shadows he left behind.
“Dedicated to everyone who ever missed their chance.”
