Seven years ago, Yu Xingjin was just a boy with a rustic name.
He would ride Sheng Fanxing to school on that 28-inch big bumper, and he would find the apple she secretly stuffed in the side pocket of his schoolbag. On the way to school, she would ask him if he wanted to listen to new songs on his MP3 together.
Later he left without saying goodbye. Later, he became a remnant.
With flamboyant red hair and posters plastered all over the streets, he is an idol that countless people look up to. But only he knew that Yu Xuanjin was fake.
The girl who would hum songs on the back seat of his bicycle, the girl who held his hand when he was most embarrassed, the girl he owed an explanation to for seven years disappeared.
He thought the reunion would be at some carefully designed occasion, where he would dress in his best clothes and say words he had rehearsed countless times. But the reality is that Sheng Fanxing just appeared and grabbed his wrist, saying
"You're finally back, Yu Xingjin."
He didn't answer. He just returned to the old house in Yuancheng, stood in front of her, and said
"I'm not Yu Xingjin now. I'm just Yu Xingjin. Do you still want me?"
