Constrained and sober AI engineer x Ming Yan, photographer from the Department of Sensitive Psychology
Reunion after a long absence / ex-friend / adult pull
Cheng Qing is Ji Xu's ex's best friend.
He is also the person she should not be close to after the breakup.
During those years in the UK, everyone thought that Ji Xu had already withdrawn from her last relationship.
Only she knew that she just left an old relationship and fell into another heartbeat that was harder to express.
Cheng Qing knew better than anyone what was between him and Ji Xu.
So he restrained, remained silent, and gave in, as if he would never cross that line.
But he would take over the camera when her shooting went out of control, save her a seat in the library, and remember every little thing she mentioned casually.
He promised nothing.
But it seems like everything has been given to me.
Later Ji Xu asked him: "Cheng Qing, what do you want?"
Cheng Qing was silent for a long time and only said:
"I can't love you 100% the way you want me to."
So Ji Xu left cleanly.
I loved him so hard like I had never loved him before.
Canada reunited after many years.
Ji Xu became the user researcher in the project, and Cheng Qing was the AI product engineer.
In the conference room, she introduced herself calmly, but the moment she raised her eyes, he thought of all the unspoken old things in England during those years.
After the meeting, Cheng Qing stopped her and called her: "Ji Xu."
She turned back: "Is it about work?"
Cheng Qing was silent for two seconds and asked in a low voice:
"What if not?"
