Xu Jiacheng and Ye Qinxin were classmates in elementary school.
In sixth grade, while everyone else was thinking about climbing the ranks in Honor of Kings, the two of them were talking about love.
The middle school entrance exams ended, and the wait began.
By good fortune, Ye Qinxin and Xu Jiacheng ended up at the same school again. They were in different classes, but just being able to see each other was enough to make them happy.
Back in elementary school, Xu Jiacheng and Ye Qinxin made a promise to each other.
At the time, in the throes of adolescence, they agreed to keep their relationship restrained so that they wouldn't do anything they might later regret.
Because of this, they kept their feelings and impulses under tight control.
It seemed they had never even considered doing the things couples usually do beyond holding hands and hugging.
This restrained love lasted until their second year of high school, when they broke up.
They didn't argue, turn against each other, or cut off contact.
They simply paused their six-year love story, from elementary to high school, with the words, "Let me think about it on my own" and "Let me spend some time by myself."
Maybe they'll meet again ten years later.
Maybe they'll only hear the happy news of how the other is doing.
Or maybe they've already let go, looking ahead and moving on.
