Seventeen-year-old Qingqing doesn't know what she will do in the future. All she knew was that she wanted to go to a city with a sea.
On the day of the swearing-in ceremony, more than two thousand people shouted the name of the university on the playground, but she couldn't shout anything. She doesn't even know what college she wants to go to, so what can she shout for?
Later she wrote on the note: Communication University of China, Radio and Television Studies, a city with a sea. It was posted on the back blackboard. The words were small and inconspicuous, but when she looked at those words, she felt at ease. That was the direction she found herself, not someone else told her.
Ye Chen is her brother's friend. The first time they met, he told her math problems in a cafe. The handwriting was very clean, the numbers were round, and the equal signs were drawn straight. Later they went for a walk along the river, went to the planetarium to watch the stars, and stayed in a B&B by the sea for a few days. He wrote in her book: You can take your time when you are eighteen.
She didn't know if he meant to wait for her to grow up or wait for him to leave.
He is going to England. She still has one year left to take the college entrance examination.
The numbers on the countdown card were getting smaller and smaller, and she didn't know if she could say something before the number reached zero. I don't know if I can wait for the answer after I say it.
A story about secret love, growth and farewell. Slowly like, slowly get closer, and slowly learn to keep someone in your heart before breaking up.
"You are my brightest star."
"Then you have to watch carefully."
Intention: In the countdown to the age of eighteen, slowly find yourself, slowly fall in love with someone, and slowly learn to say goodbye.
