He was the unreachable light of her youth. In her freshman year, Yan Zhuxuan, a small-town girl, looked up at the speech of young Fengyang in the lecture hall of Pingcheng University, using the nebula in his hand as a metaphor. He said, "Only dreams that are ridiculed have the value of being realized." This has illuminated her dreams and life.
She was the only variable in his rational world. She came to him as an exchange student, and he taught her economic logic. Her spirituality nourished his cold world. In the intellectual resonance, she changed from an admirer to an irreplaceable humanistic footnote in his analytical framework.
Then the story came to an abrupt end in the chapter of youth. The huge reality and young self-esteem made this sunrise-dazzling love affair fall into silence.
Eight years later, light shines through the dust and mud. She retreated to the small county town, numb and tired from the trivial work and life; he reached the pinnacle of his career and stayed alone in a dream exhibition hall that collected wedding dresses and butterfly jewelry, until a planning document with the imprint of his thoughts led him back to her world.
When we meet again, we are separated from each other, and old wounds and new pain coexist. He witnessed her predicament, swept away the fog with his gentle protection, and built a ladder to "break through the clouds"; she used her tenacity and sincerity precipitated from the soil to melt the ice of rationality in his world that had not melted for many years.
Time is like a grinding wheel that polishes off all hesitations and impurities. They prove to each other that once some love becomes the coordinate system of life, all the long journeys from then on are just to reunite with a better partner in a wider space.
He is her economics, teaching her to see the rules of the world; she is his butterfly dream, making him never forget the softness of his soul. They eventually became each other's reflection and extension in love - starting from looking up and finally standing side by side.
