Secret love is a long process of self-cultivation, while true love is finding the courage to go in both directions over the long years. "
The novel takes Xia Qing's secret love for more than ten years as the main line, showing how an ordinary girl spends her entire youth silently following the back of an outstanding boy. From junior high school to high school, from college to work, she has always worked hard to "emulate Lu Yifei":
Academically: I was admitted to a key class with more than 100 students in my grade, and I used my grades to shorten the distance with him. Emotionally: I wanted to confess my feelings countless times but didn't dare. I could only create contact opportunities through "accidental encounters" and "help". In a long-distance relationship: endure the distance of three thousand kilometers, learn to be independent, and learn to wait. Secret love is not just bitter unrequited love, but also a driving force for self-growth. Xia Qing's "chasing" made her a better version of herself.
