She spent her whole youth running
He spends all his time stopping
There is no "pause" button in Xia Xue's dictionary.
Always chasing higher and further. Take the initiative to choose and strive for it.
Lu Shan's world has a quiet order.
The owner of the window seat in the first row of the classroom reveals a melancholy and depth that is not for his age.
The story begins when two transfer students collide in the corridor in the summer when they are 14 years old, starting the intersection and misalignment of their fates:
She is a wandering cloud, he is a stubborn mountain
She continues to pursue the meaning of "distant", and he gradually becomes an annotation of the "past"
At the fork in life, Xia Xue chose a direction that was broader but farther away from him; and every "respect" from Lu Shan made the ravine of love an inch deeper.
"What Are You Waiting for" is more than just a love story. It sharply and tenderly dissects the fundamental conflict between the two personalities in the face of love and self-realization:
When "looking forward" becomes instinctive, does "looking back" mean weakness?
When "don't bother" becomes gentle, is it too late to "speak out"?
In the era of "being yourself", are compromises and waiting destined to be let down?
Through the bond between this pair of men and women, what separates the mountains and seas is not only distance, but also two ways of treating the world. The never-asked "what are you waiting for" may be a collective questioning of youth, love, and destiny by all of us.
Dedicated to all those who have run without risking their lives, and all those who thought they would get the answer by waiting.
