Synopsis
In the winter of the third year of Zhengde's reign, colleagues gathered to drink and enjoy the snow, but Li Xunyi found it boring. He walked through the corridor casually, turned around and saw a pair of bright eyes in his memory, looking over with a touch of disgust. It suddenly brought him back to the summer in Quanzhou eight years ago. In the summer of the sixth year of Jiaping, Li Xunyi stayed at his ancestral home in Quanzhou. While studying under a tree, I met a little girl with slightly dark skin and unusually beautiful eyebrows. She wandered around him curiously, reading out the words in his book in a dialect he couldn't understand, and her slightly rough hands gently touched his lightly patterned robe. Later, she gave him a crab with teeth and claws, a puppy made of weeds, and sugar cakes made by her mother. Later, he began to bring her a bowl of grapes every day, taught her how to speak Mandarin, and gave her a silver bracelet designed by himself. The day before leaving, he wrote in the sand: "Will you come again tomorrow?" She nodded vigorously, her smile brighter than Xia Yang's. He thought that he must ask her name tomorrow, and also... But she didn't come. He waited stubbornly for seven days. Returning on the eighth day, the robbers' swords cut into pieces Midsummer - it turned out that his whereabouts had long been betrayed by his cronies. Aunt Rong and his wife, who had watched him grow up, blocked the knife for him, and blood splattered all over his body. One night in the mountains, fifteen-year-old Li Xunyi looked at the coagulated blood on his hands. He woke up from his summer dream and felt that his blood had become cold. A close friend who was as close as a brother became an orphan overnight, and the eyes he looked at were full of resentment. Eight years. Li Xunyi is now the youngest courtier in the court, a newly rich man in the court, and he is accompanied by the Xie family's legitimate daughter. A smooth official career and a happy love life are enviable. That summer in Quanzhou was just a wet old dream in my youth, long forgotten. Now, it is the early spring of the fourth year of Zhengde. He stopped her in the cold spring weather: "You hate me?" Xie Yi: "I didn't." He pressed forward step by step: "Then why are you hiding from me?" He took a step back and raised his head: "Master Li and I have only met each other by chance. We are two different worlds. It doesn't matter whether we hide or not." "Heh..." Li Xunyi laughed mockingly, and suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her arm, pulling down the clothes on her wrist to reveal a silver bracelet: "Since we are strangers, we are so different from each other, why are you still wearing this bracelet?" Xie Yi panicked and wanted to retreat, but could not move at all. She lowered her voice and retorted: "The friendship between teenagers is only between teenagers. Time has changed and people have changed. Now that you have a good match, what right do you have to force each other?" "So, you admit that you had feelings for me?" "..." Intention: Mountains are high and rivers are far, and there are thousands of difficulties and obstacles. Those who are destined will eventually come to each other.
