For seventeen-year-old An Che, the world was gray. Until Xu Tingqiu was like a ray of sunshine, shining in inexplicably. He would stand up for her when she was being laughed at, quietly give her the answer when she couldn't answer a question, and silently turn the fan towards her because of her unconscious fanning action in the stuffy cafeteria. Those tacit understandings and the "naturally matched" cheers from her friends made her think that this was the prelude to a two-way journey.
However, the family's resistance came like a sudden storm. Xu Tingqiu only left a cold "Don't cherish the present moment" and disappeared completely from her world. While she was still struggling in the ruins of the past, he had already opened a new chapter with his new girlfriend Shen Yi.
Anche learned to smile and bless, and even "knocked" their candy with everyone. Only she knew that behind every smile were suppressed tears and sourness in her heart. Everyone thought she had given up, until she discovered that, faced with the same family pressure, Xu Tingqiu's choice for Shen Yi was completely different from her original choice for her...
It turns out that the difference between loving and not loving is so obvious.
She will not question the sincerity she once had, because sincerity changes rapidly.
This is a story about youth, regret and growth. It delicately depicts a secret love that never ends, and explores the weight and limits of young sincerity under the shackles of reality. When the years pass and the dust settles, we will eventually understand that we missed something in order to meet the "right before our eyes" that is truly worth cherishing.
Purpose: Tell readers: If you miss something, it is fate that protects you. Don't be obsessed with "why you are not cherished". When you learn to value yourself, the "people in front of you" and "prospects in front of you" will come as expected.
