Everyone in the world longs for perfection, but I just want to be alone, lonely year after year, just for Jiangye.
Shen Que's seven years began with a hasty encounter in Nancheng No. 2 Middle School in the midsummer when school first started.
He was quiet and reserved by nature, and was used to hiding in the corners of the crowd, but he accidentally ran into the dazzling Jiang Ye's eyes.
Jiang Ye is a popular figure, with a bright future ahead of him, and with the expectations of his family, he is born to stand in the sun. Worldly opinions, other people's gossip, and family pressure stand between the two of them. He can only carefully build a shell of alienation, deliberately pretending to be a stranger in front of others, and only quietly conveying hidden tenderness in the gaps where no one is around.
The restrained heartbeat is hidden in the pages of the book, the evening breeze, and the corner of the deserted staircase. They are obviously paying attention to each other, but they dare not cross the boundary even half a step. A love that cannot be seen in the light can only be hidden in the middle of the night and in the dark. You cannot walk hand in hand, you cannot openly express your love, and even a simple walk side by side becomes a luxury.
Later, family persecution and worldly pressure came one after another. In order to protect him, Jiang Ye told the most hurtful lies with his own hands, cut off all ties, and rushed to a happy life recognized by the world.
An autumn rain, a farewell.
He returned the fireworks to the world, leaving Chenque alone trapped in the darkness full of memories.
In the long years that followed, Shen Que spent countless unaccompanied days and nights alone. She never resented or entangled, and she could no longer be tempted by others.
After a long glance on the street, the two of them went their separate ways, their eyes briefly collided, then they turned around and never met again.
Of the thousands of lights in the city, not a single one was lit for them.
Everyone in this world has the perfect companionship, but I am willing to hold on to a whole memory and be alone for the rest of my life, just for him.
Intention: The world does not allow it, and deep love will not last long. I am willing to spend my whole life anonymously for you.
