Zhou Zhou never thought that he would see Gu Linfeng again at a special brand art exhibition.
They grew up together in the old neighborhood. From childhood playmates to teenage lovers, their relationship was natural and firm. Later, she was busy studying abroad, and he accidentally entered the entertainment industry. Announcements, variety shows, auditions, and the growing distance gradually swallowed up their original close relationship. The long distance, time difference, quarrels and an unclear future made the relationship finally end in a video call across the screen. No hugs, no lingering, and no good goodbyes.
Many years later, Gu Linfeng has already transformed from a transparent little person who first entered the industry into a popular actor standing in the spotlight. He is cold, restrained, and has a clean reputation. He is an existence that is out of reach in the eyes of countless people. Zhou Zhou has also worked his way up from an assistant to an independent space designer, responsible for exhibition and commercial activity spaces. He travels to different cities all year round following projects. His life is stable, his boundaries are clear, and he is more cautious about relationships and more sober.
After meeting again, they chatted like old acquaintances and were as polite as strangers, but no one could really act as if nothing had happened. Gu Linfeng gradually realized that he had never let go over the years; Zhou Zhou finally admitted that that relationship had not really been taken away by time. Only this time, they are no longer the people who only lost each other in silence and quarrels.
This is not a heart-stopping story, but a story in which two people who were once separated learn to get closer and communicate again after growing up, and also reaffirm that each other is still worthy of being firmly chosen.
Intention: To write about two people who were once separated and learn to love and communicate again after growing up. Rather than the obsession of "I have to be you", I want to express the mature and intimate relationship of "I stand here completely, and I am still willing to choose you".
