At the age of twenty-two, Xu Anan was admitted to G University from a small city and became a master's student in the School of Economics. When she first arrived in the big city, she had low self-esteem and high expectations. When she was lost on campus, she met Li Jialin, a calm, restrained and promising doctoral student.
She originally thought that such a person was far away from her, but she slowly got closer to him in group meetings, documents, libraries, and on the campus night streets. That was her most youthful love. But later, Li Jialin went overseas to do his postdoc, while Xu Anan stayed in China to find a job after graduation. The time difference, differences in reality and future plans finally separated the two lovers.
At the age of twenty-five, Xu Anan entered a listed company and met Ling Yun, an executive of partner F Technology Company. Ling Yun was mature and strong, and gave her opportunities and trust during the most difficult stage of her career. The two worked side by side on the project and gradually developed into lovers. But she soon discovered that Ling Yun could provide her with resources and protection, but it was difficult for her to stop and live the life she wanted.
At the age of twenty-eight, Xu Anan fell ill due to long-term overtime work, resigned and opened a coffee shop next to G University. She thought life could finally slow down, but she didn't expect that Li Jialin returned to China to teach and became a frequent customer in her store; Ling Yun also came to G University as a corporate representative and appeared in front of her again.
One is Bai Yueguang whom I missed when I was young, and the other is the person who used to be side by side in the adult world.
This time, Xu Anan finally understood that love is not chasing or waiting, but that she has become herself, and that person just walked towards her.
Intent: Women learn to no longer look up to others as they grow up, but to become themselves; true love is not about chasing, waiting or being attached, but about two independent people working side by side again after they grow up.
