There is no single kind of love in this world. Family, romance, friendship: we spend our whole lives struggling through an endless tangle of emotions.
1. Xia Zhiyi's family situation is complicated. Her parents love her, but they also don't. Ever since she was little, she wanted to grow up quickly and go somewhere far away to build a life of her own, free from the emotional turmoil of this world.
In high school, she met someone very special.
His name was Lu Jin. He had been doted on by his family since childhood, with delicate, handsome features and a gentle way of speaking that made him popular with girls. She liked him and hated him at the same time.
They came from the same hometown, where people held rather traditional views.
Lu Jin was someone his family had supported every step of the way. That was one reason Xia Zhiyi disliked him. She envied him, and she was jealous of him.
One day, after an argument with his family, Lu Jin ran away from home and ran into Xia Zhiyi.
When she saw the sleeping pills in his hand, the same as the ones she had, she understood in that moment: even people who are loved have their troubles.
"They only spoil me and love me on the surface. There are two cameras in my room, and they even smashed the lock on my door. They want to control me for the rest of my life, make me stay here and live just like them, then use the way they teach and guide people to oppress my children. I don't want that..."
2. But whether he wanted to or not made no difference. A teenager has no means to leave home.
Seeing into his heart, Xia Zhiyi gradually changed her opinion of him. She let go of her envy and jealousy and slowly became his friend.
Since they both shared the dream of "flying far away," they began working toward it together, going to the same city to study and find work.
"Lu Jin, shall we leave together?"
"Okay."
Later, because they had been so much on the same wavelength, each considered their own future more important than the other person, and they were forced to part.
"Life is so long. It's not as if we'll never see each other again..."
Theme: May we have the courage to break through it all.
