The wind in the small northern town hides their unsaid words. Shen Juan's pen tip repeatedly sketched Lu Zhi's running figure on the draft paper. Lu Zhi's sportswear pocket always contained hot milk for Shen Juan. The lights in the study room, the sunset on the playground, and the scarves they wore together on winter nights were all evidence of their secret love for each other - the fingertips they touched in no one else's place, the love they expressed with a blushing face, and the agreement they thought would lead to the future. After all, they were no match for the chaos of senior year: the mother's tears, the teacher's sigh, and the young man's timidity hidden in "for your own good." They had held each other tightly in their youth, but at the fork in the road of fate, they were pushed to let go. Many years later, Shen Juan saw a similar sunset in a university in the north. Lu Zhi remembered the unsent ointment in the rain in the south, and realized that some love, once missed, will become a scar that will be looked back on again and again for the rest of his life.
Purpose: 1. The fragility of youth: Not all sincere love can withstand the weight of reality. The timidity in youth, external pressure, and misalignment of communication may make a precious relationship a regret. This shows that youth is not all bright, but also has its fragility and helplessness.
2. The sense of fate of missing out: Some separations are not due to lack of love, but due to involuntary in the growth stage - family expectations, reality gap, misjudgment of "the other person is better", causing two people in love to go in different directions at the fork in the road. It explores the contradiction between "love" and "suitability" in specific life stages, as well as the necessity and chance behind missing out.
3. The eternity of memory: Even if we are eventually separated, those traces of love (a confession, an old object, a certain scene) will become indelible marks for the rest of our lives. They may not be painful shackles, but they will turn into sighs when looking back, proving that there were such hot and pure moments in youth, making "regret" itself a part of life.
