Seven years ago, Gu Yan said "We are not suitable" and disappeared into the world of Jiangyu.
No explanation, no goodbye, even breakup was just a text message.
It took Jiang Yu three years to learn to live alone, and another four years to learn not to wait anymore.
He opened a bookstore, raised a cat, and lived his life like a cup of cool tea - neither hot nor warm.
Seven years later, Gu Yan came back.
The VP of an investment bank, wearing a suit and leather shoes, wearing a watch that Jiang Yu had never seen before on his wrist, and in the car were mint candies that Jiang Yu was used to eating.
He walked into Jiang Yu's bookstore, spilled coffee on the floor, looked into Jiang Yu's eyes and said, "Long time no see."
Jiang Yu smiled and said softly, "Welcome."
He didn't ask why he came back, nor why he left in the first place.
Because he is no longer twenty-year-old Jiang Yu, and his eyes will not turn red just because of a word.
But what he didn't know was that the box of peppermint candies in Gu Yan's car had not been broken after seven years of replacement.
The undeleted number on Gu Yan's phone still had "Yu" as the note.
As for Jiang Yu himself, every time he closes the store and pulls up the rolling shutter door, he still habitually counts——
One, two...
Then pause for three seconds.
Because seven years ago, someone always hugged him from behind when he counted to "two".
Jiang Yu thought that time was long enough to forget someone.
But on the first day Gu Yan came back, he knew——
Those seven years were in vain.
Intention: Love is not about "carrying everything for you", but "I will bear everything with you".
Self-righteous protection is more cruel than honest harm. Two people who missed each other for seven years because they "didn't dare to get close" learned to give each other their weaknesses after meeting again, completing a two-way healing process from "fear of being left behind" to "dare to believe".
