Young love is pure and therefore extremely fragile.
Their separation was a silent collapse. There is no winner, only two immature souls sinking together in the confusion of reality and themselves.
He cherished love, but failed to catch the delivery that was too heavy. Repeated consumption makes that love fall silent in exhaustion, and it can only end in panic with the words "I'm tired."
She offered all of herself as a bet, but her low self-esteem turned her bravery into a sharp edge. Every trial wore each other down and exhausted all possibilities.
The phrase "I'm tired" is the end of the entire collapse. They all lost to their less powerful selves back then.
Time flies.
Now, what Zhang Chenchuan needs to face may be to finally face up to the deep powerlessness he felt back then.
What Li Yaruo achieved was never true "letting go". She is carrying that mark that has never healed, and in the world moving forward alone, she will forever reserve an old land for that person that no one can reach.

Now, do they have enough strength to face the regrets that they could not express or accept?
