A quiet, long-haired male art student ✕ an insecure female art student. One-on-one romance.
A tragic ending: their feelings are mutual, but their love comes to nothing. I know how I feel, so I take one step after another toward you, but neither of us has a future.
“Zheng Chuyi, I saw you once a long time ago.” “Seven years is neither long nor short. I think I’ll spend my whole life trapped in a world without you.”
“Goodbye.” “Not again.”
“Xiang Qing, good luck with your college entrance exams. May you come out at the top.” “I’m going to the capital for treatment. I might settle in England afterward.”
“Yi, I hope you stay healthy and well.” “The first time I went abroad, I went to England.”
In frail health, Zheng Chuyi enters Dongshi No. 3 High School. She thinks that her looks will make her spend her high school years feeling insecure, but then she meets Xiang Qing, a talented boy who shares her love of drawing. Zheng Chuyi quietly falls for him, but fate keeps nudging them together, and ripples between them become impossible to avoid. Later, her illness forces her to take a leave of absence. In the end, Zheng Chuyi succumbs to her disease, and her unrequited love comes to nothing. Seven years later, Xiang Qing starts a family, but remains in pain forever.
