Some oranges are sour only when you peel them.
Twelve years ago, Su Nian married into the Shen family with her mother and met her "brother" Shen Yan for the first time.
He knelt down and wiped off the mud on her shoes: "Be careful of slipping."
She didn't know at that time that this advice would run through her entire youth and become the prototype of all her heartbeats in the future.
"Brother" - is a shelter and a prison.
"What's the best ending between us?"
"It is the summer in each other's lives that will make you slightly sour when you think about it, but will never rot."
"You can obviously touch me, but you choose to always keep an arm's length away."
"It's the layer of white meridians between the orange pulp - it seems inseparable, but in fact it breaks off as soon as you peel it off, leaving only the lingering astringency on the tip of the tongue."
"I love you, in the name of 'brother', in all the ways you don't realize."
"I hate you, as 'sister', and with all the ways you can't push me away."
In the end, they didn't end up together.
But they never really separated.
It's like orange peel - it's peeled off, but it always leaves white traces on the flesh.
That's evidence of a close connection,
It's also something you can never go back to, sour and sweet.
"The orange peel is the most bitter part of the orange and the least perishable part."
"So is our love."
"It makes me bitter all my life."
"Also let me live a fresh life in your memory."
——Don't say love, but love is in every restraint
Intention: some feelings
