In that autumn rain curtain, he handed over an umbrella, which became Lin Xia's lingering obsession throughout his youth.
Thanks Qingchuan. To her, this name is a polite and distant nod when passing by in the corridor, a familiar name that is always at the top of the grade list, and an existence that is always gentle and gentle, but seems to be separated by an insurmountable layer of glass. Fortunately, they were admitted to the same high school and even became classmates.
Lin Xia approached cautiously, with secret joy. He would bring her a bottle of water because of her casual lies, he would invite her to lunch as a thank you, and he would share trivial daily life with her on WeChat. Those occasional jokes and subtle concerns illuminated her world like starlight. She thought that the distance between them was being eroded little by little, and she could almost touch it.
However, some distance was destined from the beginning. Behind his gentleness is a coldness that is hard to melt, and beneath his gentlemanly demeanor is a boundary that cannot really be approached. When the passionate love affair between best friends and the booing around them accentuated the silence between them, Lin Xia gradually understood that the ending was already written from the beginning.
Intent: This is a story about secret love, proximity and separation. It tells how we desperately move towards someone, and how we finally learn to say goodbye to that "one step away". The flowers bloom in the middle of the summer and the rain finally falls. It turns out that the biggest regret in youth is not that we have never had it, but that after getting infinitely close, we realize that we are already so far away.
