"The Sea of Broken Promise" (two male protagonists, 400,000 words long novel)
Shen Yu, an art student, and Shenjiang Yubai, a science student, fell in love secretly in high school. In midsummer, they agreed to go to Pingtan to watch the sea together after the college entrance examination. Jiang Yubai's father was strict and conservative, and after learning of their relationship, he strictly controlled and cut off contact between the two. In order not to hinder Shen Yu's art exam, Jiang Yubai chose to tolerate the alienation, and various rumors deepened Shen Yu's suspicion. After the college entrance examination, Jiang Yubai was forced to stay at home and apply for a northern college. He completely lost contact. Shen Yu waited in vain. A misunderstanding on the street became the last straw for him. The two broke up on a rainy night, and one south and one north were disconnected for seven years.
In seven years, Shen Yu became an illustrator and painted all over the river and sea but dared not set foot on the agreed beach; Jiang Yubai worked in marine engineering and went to the beach alone every year to wait for the sunrise. The industry exhibition reunited the two people who had been separated for seven years. All the involuntary misunderstandings at that time were solved, but the scars left by the long separation and youth could no longer be erased. In the end, the two came to the seaside of Pingtan together and let go of the knot in their hearts. However, they never returned to the age of seventeen and did not get back together. With the youthful regret of missing the promise at sea, they each moved towards the future of their lives.
Intention: Missing cannot be looked back. Even if all misunderstandings are solved, the broken time and scars are difficult to repair.
