Cheng Yu mistakenly believed that the transfer student Lu Li had ulterior motives for deliberately approaching him, and was tit-for-tat with him. Lu Li also felt disgusted with Cheng Yu because of his inexplicable meanness. The fateful foreshadowing of "Yu" and "Li" in their names laid the hidden danger of separation from the beginning.
In an accident at the seaside, Cheng Yu was caught in the waves while trying to save Lu Li. When they woke up, they were bound by the invisible "distance shackles" - once they were more than fifty meters away, they would fall into a state of trance and intolerable pain. In order to maintain normal studies and life, Lu Li had to actively coordinate, eating and living with Cheng Yu, and being bound to each other at all times. Under the premise of Lu Li's initiative and the fact that he had saved him, Cheng Yu mistakenly believed that Lu Li had hidden feelings for him, and began to clumsily attack himself. From an unruly and cold young man, he gradually became someone who could silently protect the other person, and could write heartfelt lyrics on the rocks at the seaside. Lu Li also saw his sincerity clearly through getting along day and night.
The hidden lyrics manuscript was accidentally exposed, and the forbidden love between the two was made public. Strong opposition from the family and worldly rumors followed one after another, binding the two tighter and tighter like heavier shackles. Just when they were determined to fight reality together, the "shackles of distance" quietly disappeared one morning - it was the unexpected power that bound them. After the two people completely connected, they completed their mission and dissipated automatically.
But without physical restraints, the crushing reality is even more cruel. Lu Li was forced by his family to leave his hometown. In order to "liberate" him, Cheng Yu immediately distanced himself from him and claimed that everything was his unilateral obsession. However, Lu Li had already seen each other's fate clearly in their relationship, but in the end he could not bear the weight of reality and chose to leave in silence.
The two went from "encounter and separation" where they were forced to coexist, to the ending where they were connected but had to separate, turning this unexpected binding at the seaside into a regretful farewell loyal to fate. In the end, in the collapse plea of "please don't leave me", it confirmed the core of "encounter is fate, separation is also fate".
Intent: The struggle and growth of young people between love and reality, bravery and cowardice, stubbornness and regret. Failure to express love is the normal state of life. Some encounters are only for amazing moments, not for a lifetime together.
