When he was eighteen years old, Jiang Qiyan thought that his love was well hidden.
Bringing breakfast to Shen Xuzhi, occupying a seat, handing him water, and taking a forty-minute walk to accompany him after school—he did these things as a matter of course, on the grounds that "it's what friends should do." Shen Xuzhi never refused or said anything.
Until the graduation party, Jiang Qiyan heard him say to others: "We are just ordinary friends."
The next day, he dropped out of school and went abroad.
When we met again fifteen years later, Shen Xuzhi was already the turbulent CEO in the business world. He stopped in front of him with red eyes: "You just left as soon as you said you wanted. Have you ever thought that I have been waiting for you for fifteen years?"
Jiang Qiyan smiled, but tears fell: "You said it first - we are just ordinary friends."
Purpose: About regret and courage, about how the unspoken love in youth turns into obsession over the years, and how two proud people learn to bow their heads.
