During the two years of high school, Li Hu's youth was hidden behind the screen.
She and Meng Heng started dating in online games. They spent thousands of miles of network cable apart and spent their entire teenage years filled with ambiguity.
They talk about everything online and are each other's most tacit partners. Their companionship day after day and their subtle and gentle preference create a long and tender heartbeat. Li Hu is soft-hearted and delicate, preferring all gentle and lovely things, but she is naturally true and has a clear bottom line, and she never wants to wrong herself. Faced with this unfulfilled online love, she is cautious and tentative, always guarding clear boundaries, and not daring to cross the line.
The vague good feelings have been building up for two years, but no one has exposed them, and no one has been brave enough to pursue them.
Finally lost to the unreachable distance.
There was no quarrel, no farewell, the two of them broke off the connection tacitly and quietly disappeared into each other's world. Two years of ambiguous online dating have all come to naught, becoming a blank space in youth that no one mentions.
After a year, we met again in the late autumn of college.
Sitting by the window of the classroom, the cool and upright young man raised his eyes.
The familiar eyebrows and familiar voice belong to Meng Heng who has disappeared for a long time.
Offline, he is distant, restrained, taciturn, and completely different from his gentle and indulgent persona online.
After many years, old heartbeats reappear, and barriers and hesitations can pile up.
She is more sincere and sensitive and refuses to accept vague preferences; he is reserved and tolerant and is used to hiding all his emotions.
We once fell in love across a screen, but now we are testing each other across a sea of people.
The sourness pulls back and forth, tenderness and sharpness collide.
This time, can they overcome the distance and hesitation and consummate their unfinished heartbeat?
