Zhou Ning has always felt that Xu Zhihe is a person who is easily misunderstood.
She is gentle and decent, will send her home on rainy nights, will remember the words she said casually, and will calmly hand her a bottle of water, an umbrella, or a word of concern when she is about to lose control. She seemed to be nice to everyone, but Zhou Ning always felt that some of that kindness was reserved for herself.
From the first meeting, Zhou Ning had some not-so-innocent thoughts about Xu Zhihe. Later, they got closer and closer. Late-night messages, drop-offs, traces left at each other's homes, and attempts to cross boundaries and restraint all made the relationship slowly become ambiguous.
It's just that falling in love with an older sister is never easy. If someone is tempted first, it is destined that someone will mess up first. While Zhou Ning was speaking harshly, he was getting deeper and deeper into the situation; while Xu Zhihe was always standing in a position that was both exciting and unclear.
This is a story about heartbeat, proximity, misunderstanding and blank space. Regarding how one person falls step by step in the tenderness of another person, and also about how some feelings have obviously happened, but there may not be a straightforward answer.
Intention: to write about heartbeat and closeness, as well as the unexplainable temptations, misunderstandings and blank spaces in ambiguous relationships. If someone is tempted first, they will be out of balance first; but liking yourself is not a shameful thing.
