"In the past, cars and horses were very slow, letters were far away, and there was only enough time to love one person in a lifetime.
If now we are urged to grow up by the times and stagger forward in the farewell - then my wish is to give you a smile that will last forever. "
This is what Li Yiwei wrote many years later in her book "Mysterious and Clear You" about her parents' love.
In Qingdao when she was five years old, Li Yiwei was waiting for Xu Yuming under the old locust tree.
He brought his guitar, like a ray of sunshine, that opened up her sensitive and lonely childhood due to her father's early death. From then on, the sea breeze, the scent of sophora japonica and music became their common memory background.
I don't know when the friends who were fighting with each other began to feel nervous that they had never experienced when they were children. Each other's position seems to be something more than friends.
This subtle change, together with Su Nan's departure and Gu Cheng's silence, are intertwined in the pain of growing up. Then, the tide of time pushed the four people to different coasts.
Many years later, the two met on the beach in Qingdao.
Xu Yuming looked at her, his voice low and clear:
"I can never let go of anyone in my heart. When I see a lot of things, her appearance always comes to my mind - her at every stage. Because I know her well enough, I can't imagine handing her over to others. I will... Maybe regret it for the rest of my life."
Li Yiwei's tears rolled down without warning.
At that moment, the sound of the ocean tide, all the past loneliness and longing, sadness and wishes all converged into this firm confession in my ears.
"Then... Are you willing?"
Purpose: To explore how to protect a "slow" relationship in an era of rapid alienation. Through the growth and separation of a group of people, it is shown that true strength is not the absence of weaknesses, but knowing where the weaknesses are and still daring to entrust them to the person who has passed through time and never left.
