2011, The first year of junior high school.
Chen Quan met Zheng Qi. He was the kind of mean boy who would sprinkle powder on her when she was making milk tea, and would be stirred up by her roar during the last lap of the sports meet. He would secretly look at her profile, ask for out-of-print Cologne autographed books for her, and say "my grandfather's brother's nephew's brother-in-law" - using the world's worst excuses to hide the world's most obvious feelings.
Then, there is no more.
2021, The first year of work.
Chen Quan met Xue Shifan. He is the kind of man who is quick to get up and down quickly. He will run downstairs to her on New Year's Eve, stay overnight when she has a fever, and say "I like you" with a 3,000-yuan Lena Belle and a 10,000-yuan gold bracelet. He will let her know what it feels like to be passionately pursued, and he will also let her understand that some passion is for consumption.
Then, it's really over.
2025, Twenty-eight years old.
Chen Quan, a divorced man with a baby, met three men.
One is Zheng Qi fifteen years ago, who said, "I'm late."
One is the former Xue Shifan, who said, "I regret it."
Another person named Lu Xin said, "You don't have to do anything, just be yourself."
Chen Quan seriously thought about it for the first time: What exactly is like? What is really important in life? If her worth doesn't depend on others liking her - then what does she want?
This is not a "choose who" story.
This is the story of a girl who used three relationships to find herself back.
Dual-line narrative, guessing the husband setting.
From 2011 to 2026, from school uniforms to divorce certificates, from "Why doesn't he look at me anymore" to "I value myself."
Written to all those who have lost their way in love and finally found themselves.
Purpose: Find your own feelings about love and self from the heroine's experience
