A story about courage, trust and running
Nineteen-year-old Bai Luoyan has been well protected by her family since she was a child, like a flower growing in a greenhouse. She didn't know what a "male figure" was, what kind of world was hidden in Douyin's comment section, and she didn't even know that a casual like would change her entire youth.
Twenty-year-old Su Nanqing is a boy from Hebei, majoring in construction management. He likes to play ball, draw pictures and send emojis. Late that winter vacation, he received a question mark on Douyin and casually replied to it. From then on, a girl named "Tangtang" broke into his world.
Starting from "?" To "Let's make friends" to "little fool" and "stingy guy" - their story, like all online dating, started off guard but seemed destined.
He called her a fool because of her clumsiness and naivety.
She called him a cheapskate because he always made her angry.
Separated by 800 kilometers, they built a bridge with words.
But online dating is never a fairy tale.
Bai Luoyan has a mental disorder and cannot accept that he once liked someone else. Su Nanqing didn't understand why she was always making trouble, or how much sense of security she needed to feel at ease. It was the first time for two people to fall in love, falling in love awkwardly, arguing awkwardly, hurting each other awkwardly, and forgiving each other awkwardly.
She was so angry with him that her blood pressure soared and she was admitted to the hospital during the Chinese New Year. He was accused of harassment by girls in the club and could not defend himself. His roommate said that the photos she posted were from the internet and that she was a liar. She said: "In this case, let's break up."
He sent her messages every day after the breakup. One day, two days, three days... Fifty-nine, forty-one, thirty-four. On the sixth day, he only sent one message - "Do you really don't want me anymore?"
It's not that she doesn't want him. She was just in so much pain. It hurts so much that I can only choose to escape.
But some people are destined not to let go. Some feelings are destined to cross all obstacles and come to the other person.
This is a story about courage - courage is not not being afraid, but having the courage to try again after being afraid.
This is a story about trust - trust is not about never doubting, but choosing to believe after doubting.
This is a story about growing up - two imperfect people who learn how to love and be loved while stumbling.
From Douyin private messages to the first video, from the disconnection at Laojun Mountain to the meeting under the Bell Tower in Xi'an, from "?" To "See you tomorrow" - they spent their entire youth walking the distance from the screen to reality.
"All the waiting is for a better encounter."
This is a heartbreakingly real story about online dating. Maybe you think Bai Luoyan is too stupid, Su Nanqing is too bad, and their love is too torturous. But who can be free and easy when it comes to feelings?
If you have ever liked someone across the screen, if you have ever worried about gains and losses in a relationship, if you have ever thought about giving up but still couldn't let go... Then you will definitely see your own shadow in this story.
Intention: Who can be free and easy about love!!!
