His name is Lu Yuan, and her name is Gu Xi.
The two met in the autumn of their first year of junior high school. At the beginning of the school year, military training was required. He stood according to his height, with her in front of him and behind him. Gu Xi said that the first time she noticed Lu Yuan was because he climbed over the wall to buy candy during military training and was not discovered yet. She thought this boy was so brave.
Love at that time was very simple. We walked together for a while after school, and secretly glanced at him during recess. If someone yells at you and says "together" or something like that, you will blush and your heart will beat.
Later they really got together. They say they are "together", but in fact they just mean texting each other and going out for a walk on the weekends. They didn't even dare to hold hands, and they had to stay one meter apart when walking together. But at that time, I felt that this was enough.
But it didn't make it to the end.
They separated in the summer of their sophomore year of high school. Can't tell exactly why. Maybe it's because you're getting busier with studies, maybe your teachers and parents are starting to keep an eye on you, or maybe you're just young and no one is good at handling a relationship. There was no quarrel, no bloodshed, they just gradually stopped talking, and then they broke up naturally.
Later, they went to different universities and gradually lost contact.
Many years later, Gu Xi still occasionally thinks of that autumn. I can't say I regret it, but I always feel it's a pity. Although she was very brave at the time, Lu Yuan did not look back.
But she also knows that some people are destined to be separated.
This is a very ordinary story. Ordinary encounters, ordinary likes, ordinary separations. But perhaps it is precisely because of being ordinary that it resembles the youth of most of us.
