[Childhood sweetheart + forbearing BE + a girl who looks free and easy but is actually long-term in love VS a cold and venomous boy who looks cold and has a low self-esteem on the inside]
Zhong Qiu loves autumn the most, while Xia Yu hates autumn the most - especially Qiu Yu.
They live next door, and they are a strange combination in the eyes of everyone: "she chases them desperately and he flees desperately."
He would always tutor her with a straight face, hit her on the head, and call her stupid, but he would tilt his umbrella towards her on rainy nights and silently put down ointment when she got frostbite.
"I hate you," he said.
She smiled: "It doesn't matter, I just think you look good."
In his senior year of high school, Xia Yu suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, his mouth was bruised and he didn't mention it at all.
After the college entrance examination, he said: "If I leave one day, will you forget me?"
She thought it was a joke, but he really left without saying goodbye, went to England, and cut off all contact.
Reunited in a foreign land many years later, he stood by the river and whispered: "Zhong Qiu, I'm back."
She finally waited for the words "Let's start over" and the news that he fell in a pool of blood trying to protect a strange child.
While sorting out her belongings, she found the diary and letters he left behind——
"I'm lying when I say I hate you. From the day you gave me half of the apple, I have no right to hate you."
"You deserve sunshine without any haze, and there are always shadows behind me."
"I'm sorry, and, I love you."
Later she opened a bookstore called "Qiu Yu", and the dark blue scarf that he had worn for many years hung on the wall.
Someone asked her why she didn't move forward.
She said: "It's not that there is no one like him, it's that I don't want to find anyone like him."
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
