Ji Yuan is the kind of person who can't be faulted. Always number one on the report card, always smiling when facing her mother, she has been repeatedly trained to be decent since she was a child - she hides her true self so deeply that even her best friend cannot break through the shell.
Gu Zhiyuan is the silent theoretical genius behind her desk. His world is exactly the same as hers: his parents raised him with the highest standards of excellence, but never taught him how to say "I need you."
They are the same kind. From mutual defense to silent observation, from the problem-solving ideas pushed back and forth on the draft paper to the strawberry milk that appears on the corner of the table every day, from the silence on the rooftop where they dare not look at each other to the phrase "I've been looking at you" at the fried noodle stall. He used countless small tendernesses in the past three years to support her fall, and she finally dared to take off all disguises in front of him and cry out.
But the day she mustered up all the courage to express her sincerity to him, he gave the wrong answer because of his own clumsiness. One didn't dare to ask, and the other didn't know how to tell. They were separated the day after the college entrance examination, she went to Xiamen, and he went to Australia. Many years later, an unsent letter was opened, and there was only one sentence written on it - "I have actually liked you, for a long, long time."
It took her three years to learn to cry in front of him. He spent his whole life missing those tears.
I was young at that time, and the mountains and rivers were far away. The kite fell to the bottom of the abyss, never to be heard again.
Concept: The biggest regret of youth is not that we have never met each other, but that we met each other, but because of the flaws in our characters that were carved by our original families, we chose silence in countless moments when we could catch each other.
