Is the reunion of childhood sweethearts a rekindling of old love or a dangerous game for adults?
Lin Xu, who had returned from studying abroad, burst into Gu Ran's world with a rainy look. The looming abdominal muscles under the black tights, the scarlet and forbearing eyes in the elevator, and the deep and affectionate words "I won't leave this time" - easily tore through the defenses Gu Ran had built up in two years.
They have known each other for twenty years and are familiar with each other's habits and weaknesses. But when childhood sweethearts meet again on a rainy night, something has already quietly gone bad.
Gu Ran is a habitual offender who is described by his friends as "hit him and run away". He uses a bold and casual shell to protect his sincerity that is afraid of getting hurt. Lin Xu was the one who saw through all her disguises, and with unavoidable desire and patience, he approached the safety line she had drawn step by step.
From the ridiculous abdominal kiss to the restrained confrontation at Rain Alley Bookstore, from a tentative bouquet of wild flowers to the confession over a bowl of ramen, they were repeatedly pulled in the tide of reunion - two steps forward, one step back, swinging between "responsibility" and "game", and finding a balance between old warmth and new desires.
"What I want is a kiss that you take the initiative to give me when you are sober, serious, and clearly know what you are doing."
This is a story about bravery. It's about two adults who know each other too well, how to carefully dismantle their guard, how to face their true desires and deep fears, and how to build an adult love that needs to be "responsible" based on the afterimage of youth.
[High-tension emotional pull + childhood sweethearts reunited + extreme push-pull ambiguity]
When twenty years of acquaintance collide with two years of blankness, when the innocence of youth transforms into adult desire, where will this long-awaited reunion that began on a rainy night finally anchor?
"From now on, we have officially entered the 'try' stage."
"The rule is - you can call stop at any time, but before you call stop every time, you have to tell me why."
The tide rises and falls due to the gravity of the moon, and my heartbeat has already been locked by you. This is my first time writing, please give me some advice.
Intent: True bravery is to choose to take off the disguise and be "responsible" for true emotions after seeing clearly the weight and risks of a relationship.
