[Fated Reunion] [Forbidden Secret Love] [Four Years of Obsession] [Forbearance and Redemption]
The road is long and far away, I will search up and down.
The world is looking for a moral future, and Shen Shen has been working hard for four long years. From beginning to end, he is only for Zhou Qixia.
"Teacher, I have a secret."
The Wutong trees in Nancheng High School have been falling out season after season, just like Shen Shenzang's worry - she has fallen in love with someone she cannot like. He was the name repeatedly traced on her draft paper, the only light above the podium, and the words "You are too young" that she exchanged all her courage for after the college entrance examination. Those four light words crushed the heat of the entire midsummer.
That confession was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, even the echo was swallowed up. Zhou Qixia's rejection was so calm that it was almost cruel, like the mathematical formula he deduced, every step was clear, but every word was heartbreaking. Shen Shen traveled to a foreign country, in the cherry blossom rain of Musashino, and in countless late nights, she sent messages to that silent dialog box every day, from dawn and dusk to the four seasons, without interruption for four years, but never waited for a reply.
But on the day of graduation, she resolutely gave up further studies and returned to Nancheng with her suitcase in tow, returning to the high school where her youth had been trapped. This time, she is no longer a student who looks up to him, but a colleague who works alongside him - the new art and Japanese teacher at Nancheng High School.
Reunion is an arrangement of fate. He is still the "living signature" of Nancheng High School and has traveled across the country for four years, but in exchange he turned a blind eye; full of obsession, he collapsed in front of his indifference. But Shen Shen insists on betting, betting that the thread of fate has already entangled them, betting that this secret love that spans time will finally break free from the shackles of the world.
