The thing that Lin Zhixu regretted most in his life was falling in love with someone when he was seventeen years old.
The man's name was Chen Yubai. He came from Haicheng. He had gentle eyebrows and a nice smile. He would give Lin Zhixu a hand warmer when he was afraid of the cold. He would be the first to rush over when Lin Zhixu was injured by a ball. When he cried bitterly while holding his mother's photo album on a snowy night, Lin Zhixu would hold his hand and say, "I will stay with you from now on."
They thought they would always be together.
But Chen Yubai was too scared. He was afraid that he was not worthy of Lin Zhexu, that Lin Zhexu was too tired of waiting, and that he would eventually drag him into the abyss.
So he let go first.
He said: "Let's separate."
Reunited seven years later, Chen Yubai had someone else by his side.
Lin Zhixu looked into his eyes, smiled and said, "Long time no see."
What he didn't say was that he had been waiting for him for seven years.
What he didn't say was that he finally understood——
Some people are destined to only accompany you for a short distance.
Then at a certain intersection, he turned around and left.
All you can do is be grateful for that companionship and move on.
The summer when I was seventeen years old was the best summer.
But summer will end.
Summer ends at the wrong time.
After all, they never met again.
Intention: Some things I miss are not because I don't love, but because I don't dare to love.
