An unexpected act of kindness at a summer drinking party marked the beginning of Song Tinghe and Shen Zhaoyang’s story. Their online chats were full of budding affection, and they kept running into each other on campus. With their friends playing matchmaker, they naturally got together and shared a wonderfully sweet time.
But she loved her freedom and socializing over drinks, while he kept his worries and discontent buried deep inside. When his silent resentment finally erupted, he left with only a vague excuse, leaving her heartbroken and confused.
She impulsively dropped out of school, was battered by the harsh realities of life, and was reborn far away from home… Over the course of a year, she endured every kind of hardship, yet she could never erase that cheerful, complicated young man from her heart. So when she learned he might not have moved on either, she summoned all her strength and courage, took a bouquet of roses, and traveled a thousand miles just to give them another chance to start over.
But the awkward reunion downstairs, the strained greetings, and the hand that never reached out finally made her understand: some people, once lost, can never be close again, even if you still love them deeply.
She crossed mountains and rivers for him, but he left her to bear the cost of his lack of courage alone.
Fortunately, sincere love never expires. The misunderstandings were cleared up, and the two found their way back to each other.
