Teacher Shi, I don't want to waste your time anymore. Lin Yu hugged the bunch of platycodon tightly, his fingertips turned white.
"The gap between us will not be closed in another five years."
A summer heartbeat that crossed the boundary between teachers and students was ultimately defeated by the reality of the gap - a 15-year age difference, a world of difference in family backgrounds, and the sentence "You are not worthy of me" that drove her into the abyss.
Five years later, in the cold winter streets of 2023, they met again.
23-Year-old Lin Yu finally dared to tell 38-year-old Shi Wenqing what was deep in his heart. The ambiguous relationship between teacher and student that ended in vain five years ago was the deepest thorn in her heart.
She thought this reunion was just for a grand farewell.
But she never thought that when Shi Wenqing put out the cigarette butt, it was the passenger door that was opened for her.
"This time, it's me who will cross that gap."
Is this belated reunion a complete break from the past, or is it... A fresh start that neither of us dare admit to?
The flower language of platycodon flowers is hopeless love and eternal waiting.
Intention: Love is the courage to cross all established latitudes, and the sobriety to still choose to walk towards you after seeing the gap clearly.
