In the dusk of the senior year of high school, the sudden glimpse at the bus stop, the boy's swaying long legs and the red tips of his ears, became the heartbeat of Ye Zi's youth that he couldn't hide.
He is the main player of the basketball team who is seen as frivolous by others, but he can secretly calculate her route to school, help her when she falls 800 meters away, treat orange-flavored lollipops as "tutoring bribes", and hide her name in every deliberate approach.
The promise of the 100-day sprint, by the window of KFC, he said he would meet at the same place after the exam. She waited from morning light to dusk, from clear sky to heavy rain, but in the end she did not wait for that figure.
When they reunited at work many years later, he became a partner in suits and leather shoes, and she was the calm and self-possessed counterpart. That late "I'm sorry" revealed the clumsy guard he had hidden behind his "broken appointment" -
He was afraid that he was not mature enough, that he would become a burden to her in pursuing her dreams, that he would not be able to give her the confidence to stand by her side, so he quietly turned around, allowed his secret love to grow up, and turned himself into an adult who could stand by her side.
"I want to get to know you slowly, chase you slowly, and fall in love with you slowly in this era of pursuit of speed."
From the war-torn senior year of high school to the city filled with fireworks, from the heartbeat of passing by to the lost and found together, the tenderness hidden by time will eventually come as promised in the dusk.
Intention: The regrets of youth will eventually be filled with growth. True love is to become each other's confidence, not a drag.
