Xu Nianchu and Lin Yu'an have been classmates every year, sat together day and night, and met occasionally in professional classes, but they never had an in-depth intersection. They were like two parallel lines, each following its own trajectory and moving forward silently.
A teaching trip to a distant place broke the silence, and the parallel lines that had no intersection finally had an intersection. The companionship day and night on a foreign campus, the trivial daily routine of preparing and attending lectures, and the tenderness and tacit understanding hidden in the details quietly gave rise to ignorant feelings in Xu Nianchu's heart.
Some people meet their old friends again in the years to come, regaining their youthful feelings, and they all have a return date in the future; some people go to the sea of people, he returns to the north, she stays in the south, and the mountains and rivers never meet again, and the late heartbeat is forever sealed in the intertwined time of midsummer and late autumn.
It turns out that the most touching thing is never the first meeting, but the belated acquaintance. A thought of the original intention coincides with the evening scene. "Meeting" is not a first encounter, but a belated encounter and a period of time together.
From then on, there was the heartbeat and regret hidden in that summer in the long years to come, and there was a story engraved in youth that can never be reproduced again.
Purpose: Compared with the grand encounter of falling in love at first sight, belated acquaintance is more precious. The implicit emotions that young people hide deep in their hearts and do not want to disturb each other are the soft and restrained romance that is unique to youth. Life is rarely perfect. Some people are separated from the north and the south and leave a little regret. Some people meet again after a long separation and renew their relationship. Both endings are growth. We will eventually understand that the brief time together is enough to be treasured for a lifetime.
