The shadows of the old locust trees mottled the entire childhood, and the time of Lin Zhixia and Chen Yu was hidden in those tiny lights and shadows. They are neighbors and have grown up together since childhood. The friendship between childhood sweethearts has quietly taken root and sprouted over the years. The heartbeat of young people was pure and passionate. When they were in high school, they talked to each other under the sunset on the playground and made a vow to stay together for a lifetime. That period was the most brilliant chapter in their lives.
However, the twist of fate is always unexpected. A misunderstanding is like a sudden storm, sweeping away all the good things. The male protagonist Chen Yu mistakenly believed that the female protagonist Lin Zhixia was playing with his feelings. Unable to bear the blow, he made the most extreme choice - committing suicide. When the news came, Lin Zhixia's world collapsed instantly. She fell into endless pain and self-blame, thinking that Chen Yu had really passed away.
Several years passed quickly, and Lin Zhixia struggled to live with scars all over her body, but she could never forget Chen Yu. Until one day in college, they unexpectedly met again. Lin Zhixia was surprised to find that Chen Yu was not dead, but what made her even more heartbroken was that Chen Yu seemed to have forgotten her. Perhaps the accident had an impact on his brain, or perhaps he was deliberately avoiding it. The once deep friendship turned into a stranger in his eyes.
Despite this, Lin Zhixia couldn't help but get close to him. They added each other on WeChat and started a new intersection. However, this time, she didn't know how to face this familiar yet unfamiliar person, and what kind of secrets were hidden in Chen Yu's forgetfulness. Their story will continue to write a chapter full of sadism and helplessness in the entanglement after their reunion.
Concept: "That year the cicadas chirped without saying goodbye" Concept: Between forgetting and remembering, regaining the courage to love
1. Core idea: Love is that even if it is forgotten, it is still worth remembering.
True affection lies not in being responded to, but in knowing that there may be no response and still choosing not to forget.
This work is based on the misplaced reunion of childhood sweethearts, but at its core it explores a more profound proposition in life: when memories are erased by time, trauma or escape, does love still exist?
The story of Lin Zhixia and Chen Yu is a long journey about "one-way remembering" and "two-way healing". It tells us:
Growth is not about forgetting the pain, but still believing in love despite being broken; reunion is not about going back to the past, but about giving each other a chance to start over.
