Jiang Wei always believed that a years-long crush, a reunion after a long separation, and mutual affection would surely lead to the two people getting together.
It wasn't until she became the protagonist of such a story at twenty-four that she realized things don't always work out that way.
Misaligned with each other, every step they took closer brought them back to who they had been in their teens, while also pulling their feelings painfully apart.
When she was twenty-six, Jiang Wei and Lin Mo were both invited to an old friend's wedding.
After they met again, everything began to change.
The past involving Ji Xiaonian was brought to light once more.
At last, they let go of their rationality and defenses, and found the courage to talk about what had happened.
At last, they chose to move toward each other.
[Secret crush / reunion after a long separation / happy ending]
--
[Their feelings began with Lin Mo.
After they got back in touch, he was the one who ended things. His rationality made him choose to retreat.
He said, "I'd already prepared myself for this relationship before I contacted you. I used to like you, but when it comes to things about you that are hard for me to accept, I can't force myself to accept them. I'm truly sorry, "]
And so, a relationship that had yet to begin came to an end.
They had never even been together.
Jiang Wei told him that spring had arrived, and that with the sun shining and the wind blowing, everything would pass.
She said it to deceive him, and herself as well.
That year, the spring rains in Peng City were especially frequent, and the skies stayed cloudy for a long time.
When they got back in touch, she reread her old diaries.
He had appeared in her diaries from her youth, more than once.
II
After getting in touch with Lin Mo that year, Jiang Wei began dreaming frequently about her middle school days: Ji Xiaonian, that group of friends, and herself.
As a teenager, she had stubbornly tried to hold on to certain things, only to be deeply hurt.
After Ji Xiaonian passed away, Jiang Wei chose to seal her past away for good.
Two years later, Jiang Wei and Lin Mo were both unexpectedly invited to the wedding of their old middle school friend, Xiang Yining.
After the wedding, Jiang Wei ran into Lin Mo at the hotel entrance.
He was waiting for her
Once again, they were drawn into the past.
This time, they chose to make different choices.
The story of Ji Xiaonian was brought to light once more, and at last they found the courage to talk about the past.

Theme: Don't dwell on things
Um? I actually matched up with a live broadcast discussing birthdays and zodiac signs hahaha
"When you smile, it will be better than..." This is a big bug for the author~ when you laugh
I also sang two lines of "Red Bean" yesterday, what a coincidence! After carefully reading Jiang Wei's letter to Lin Mo, Jiang Wei expressed his inner thoughts, and Lin Mo could understand it. I like these days when the water flows slowly, and I like Jiang Wei and Lin Mo.
The two get along very easily and happily [Spread flowers]
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinging it!!!
I read these four words "I want to catch" several times, and I felt a subtle change in Jiang Wei's heart. If he didn't come to her, she would bravely and proactively go to him and catch what she wanted ❤️
Lin Mo felt relaxed in this chapter, which was completely different from his previous performance. In the early stage, he was very restrained. It was written earlier that Lin Mo was as gentle and tolerant as a tree, and rarely let out excessive emotions. Compared with him at this stage, it is indeed surprising. The relationship between the two is very interesting, relaxed and happy, and sometimes some simple and straightforward words are often more touching ❤️
"It's snowing, I seem to see you" This sentence is really poignant 🥺
Hug Jiang Wei, actually very curious about Lin Mo's attitude and reply 🥺
With the help of wine, I said everything I wanted to say, which made my heart feel sour 😭 😭
