"You weren't like this before."
"People have to grow up."
But the direction of growing up is different for us.
When Su Wan met Shen Shu at the Yuye Secondhand Bookstore, she thought she had captured eternity.
He gave her "We always feel that the days ahead are long", and she drew raindrops on the margins of the pages.
They huddled in a leaky rental house to run the "Books and Paintings" bookstore, and wrote "Always Just Right" on the wall.
At that time, she thought that poverty could also be very rich - with love, dreams, and each other.
Until Shen Shu put on his suit and locked the poetry collection at the bottom of the drawer.
Until Yeats was replaced on the bookshelf by "Highly Effective People."
It wasn't until the celebration banquet to celebrate his promotion that he looked at the crystal lantern and thought: "The bonus is enough to open a bookstore" - but he could no longer remember what lamp to use in the bookstore.
Su Wan was silent in front of the "microwave for two minutes" notes again and again, and felt cold in front of the expired movie ticket stubs.
She finally understood: It's not that some people don't love anymore, they just walk on different paths.
At the fork in the road, she chose to continue painting her paintings, and he chose to continue climbing his mountain.
"We got separated."
"I'm sorry."
"It doesn't matter. It's not forgiveness, it's forgetfulness."
Seven years later, she became an independent illustrator, and her picture book "Just the Right Distance" was on the best-seller list.
He became an upstart in the industry and still made it a habit to walk around the corner of her studio a week before the wedding.
On a rainy night, he held an umbrella and stopped in the distance while she continued painting inside the window.
The apprentice asked: "Do you want to give me an umbrella?"
She shook her head: "You have to experience some rain yourself before you know when to bring an umbrella next time."
