Jiang Yuchuan, the school's coldest and most handsome sports student, was aloof and taciturn, keeping everyone at a distance and never making an exception for anyone.
But everyone noticed that he was different with Shen Zhixia.
The boy's awkward yet blazing affection for her was so obvious that the whole school knew.
They had feelings for each other, caught in a sweet, tantalizing dance of ambiguity, their love growing wildly until it reached its peak.
Everyone thought they would end up together sooner or later.
Including the two of them.
But at the moment their love was strongest, Shen Zhixia suddenly received notice that she was going abroad. She left school in a rush, without saying goodbye.
Three months after she left, the cool, distant boy whose eyes had always been full of her, who had made countless exceptions for her, was gone forever, left behind in that summer.
He never got to see her return.
Nor did he ever get to tell her the last words of love he had left unsaid.
Years later, Shen Zhixia lived a peaceful, fortunate life, free of worry year after year.
Every now and then, she looked back with fondness, sighing that her youth had been marred by a regretful missed chance.
No one dared tell her the truth.
The regret of her youth was his love for her, which consumed his whole life and endured until death, and their final farewell.
