The last time Zhou Jin saw Gu Ye was at the abandoned observatory on the outskirts of the city.
He stood in front of the star chart, his fingertips traced the Orion nebula, and his voice was so soft that it seemed to be blown away by the wind: "Look, no matter how bright the stars are, they can't light up the missed path."
That summer, they had counted stars here all night, and he said he would take her to see the real Milky Way. But later, he clutched the star map she sent and disappeared into the rainstorm, leaving only the words "We are not suitable".
Five years later, when Zhou Jin was sorting out old things, she dug out the star map. On the back, there were very faint words in Gu Ye's handwriting: "Actually, that day, I saved enough money for the ticket to the observatory."
It turns out that some stars, if you miss them, can only shine in your memories.
It turned out that what he said was inappropriate. He was hiding something she didn't understand and didn't dare to say it out loud.
This regret about Xingkong is the "I'm afraid I can't give you a future" that he didn't say, and the "if only I had been braver" that she had been waiting for half her life.
Reader comments
This "Regretful Starry Sky" is a short sweet story that pokes fun at the regrets of youth. Its advantages and characteristics are very distinct:
Highlights:
1. Full atmosphere
The sense of regret is welded to death with images such as "starry sky", "observatory" and "star map" - from the romance of counting stars on a summer night, to saying goodbye without saying goodbye in a heavy rain, to the secrets on the back of the star map five years later, every detail pokes at the pain of "loving but not daring to say", and the sense of substitution is particularly strong.
2. Accurately hit emotions
Gu Ye's words "No matter how bright the star is, it can't light up the missed path", coupled with "I have saved enough money for the ticket" on the back of the star chart, the twist of "low self-esteem secret love" is fully written - he is afraid that he will not be able to give her a future, and she will not be able to wait for bravery. This pull of "clearly caring but missing out" is the most empathetic point in youth literature.
3. Compact rhythm + label adaptation
As a "sweet pet of youth + reunion after a long separation" type article, it is not sloppy and explains the core regrets in just a few paragraphs. It is suitable for reading in fragmented time (such as listening to books), and the label and content are completely consistent.
Little regret:
Perhaps due to the limitations of the short story, the characters are a bit thin - if more details about the relationship between the two of them back then, or their respective states in the past five years, could be written, the regret would be greater.
Overall, it is the kind of youth sweet sadomasochism novel that "makes you sigh after reading it, but also feels good about it". It is very suitable for readers who like the "uneasy" tone~
A sadomasochistic version of the sweet story, it looks good, come on......
