Synopsis
Xia Yuzhi had a crush on Wen Yuci. From the first glimpse under the camphor tree in the second year of junior high school to the time she tried her best to become his roommate in the first year of high school, she hid this secret for two years. He is a top academic who is cold and taciturn, distant and indifferent, like an unreachable island; she is a gentle and sensitive ordinary girl, full of sincerity, and just wants to get closer to him. The gap between the desks in the first year of high school hid the throb that she dared not express; in the second year of high school, when they were together day and night, ambiguity spread across her brows, he would silently lecture her on topics and fend off troubles for her, his gentleness was hidden under the indifference, and the two-way heartbeat quietly took root. Everyone thought they would reach the end, but the pressure, misunderstandings and silence of the senior year of high school severely crushed the young love. He was duplicitous because of his family of origin and his heavy future, and she was heartbroken by indifference and misunderstanding. In the wind of graduation night, the two of them were completely separated without even saying goodbye. Reunited many years later, Xia Yuzhi became a psychiatrist with insight into people's hearts, and Wen Yuci became a scientist devoted to scientific research. The years have smoothed the edges of youth, but not the regrets in my heart. He finally knew all the misunderstandings and wanted to make up for it with regret, but she had already given up her obsession over the years, leaving only calm and alienation. Love rises with the wind, but it is difficult to calm down when the wind stops. Young love cannot withstand misunderstanding and silence after all. The evening breeze blows through the old branches, and that young and painful love will eventually become an irreparable regret for the rest of my life, and there is no possibility of it coming back again. Purpose: Based on the girl Xia Yuzhi's long secret love since the second grade of junior high school, it tells the story of two-way love in the school years but missing each other due to silence, pride and misunderstanding. From the youthful throbbing of being together at the same table in the first year of high school, to the secret joy caused by the ambiguity in the second year of high school, to the deep-rooted pain of separation in the third year of high school, until the reunion of the psychiatrist and the scientist in adulthood, things have changed and regrets are ultimately difficult to make up for. It is intended to explore how young love often fails due to poor expression and cowardice. The love hidden in the heart, the unspoken explanations, and the angry push away will eventually become unforgettable feelings for the rest of life. Even as time goes by, the two of them fade away from their youth and grow into independent adults. But the youth they missed and the lover they lost cannot come back after all. It expresses the ultimate regret of youth and the core of BE aesthetics.
