The story begins in early autumn in Zhengzhou. The introverted and affectionate senior Wang Anshuo falls in love at first sight with the cold and lonely school girl Xia Chuyan. He quietly approached her in the name of recruiting new students to the student union, and spent countless nights silently accompanying her who was extremely afraid of the dark, but he never declared his love to her. Just before Xia Chuyan was about to confess her love, her fate suddenly changed and she suffered a brutal assault. When Wang Anshuo arrived, everything was irreversible. Facing her collapse, he didn't ask a question. He just took off his coat and wrapped her tightly, using his silent companionship to catch her soul falling into the abyss.
During the long period of depression treatment, Wang Anshuo did everything he could to support her life. It wasn't until one day that Xia Chuyan discovered the cigarette butts Wang Anshuo had left behind to suppress her anxiety on the balcony that she suddenly realized that her existence had become a burden to him. In order to save herself, she went to Xinjiang to study for graduate school and searched for the healing starry sky in the vast Gobi; while Wang Anshuo stayed in Zhengzhou to buy a house to keep her stable.
Years later, the two reunited at a friend's wedding. Xia Chuyan, who was completely healed and radiant, finally learned the truth of the year and wanted to renew their relationship with hope, but was gently but firmly rejected by Wang Anshuo. He knew very well that if they were forced to be together, both parties would have to make huge sacrifices, and those things that were given up would eventually become sharp knives that stabbed each other. Love to the depths is fulfillment, and they finally left the most decent and affectionate farewell in their respective trajectories.
Intention: Love is restraint and perfection, and true salvation is independence from each other.
