Synopsis
After the floating clouds parted, the water flowed for several years in autumn. A long time ago, Xu Xiang and Zhang Huaixu made an appointment to climb Dongcen Mountain together to wait for dawn. I was still young at that time, with a simple and enthusiastic mind. I always felt that the days were long and there were still countless mornings in the future, so I could sit side by side and wait for the sun to rise over the mountains. The sudden separation came without any warning. The two separated in a hurry and lost all contact since then. Over the long years, Xu Xiang carefully put away the unspoken heartbeat, guarding the memories of morning mist and dawn in the mountains alone, and slowly came to the conclusion that perhaps they would never see each other again in this life. In late autumn when I was sixteen, heavy fog spread over the entire Qingshan City. Zhang Huaixu, who had lost contact for many years, entered her class and sat behind her. They were only separated by a desk and could hear their breathing, but what lay between them were several years of empty time that could not be made up. A calm and restrained "Long time no see" can easily disturb Xu Xiang's long-term peace. She was naturally sensitive and timid, trapped by her inferiority complex, and hesitated repeatedly, never daring to express her feelings that she had hidden for many years. His cold expression and measured manner made it difficult for people to pry into his inner emotions. Their eyes met each other from a distance many times, and many words went over and over in their hearts. In the end, they were all swallowed back in their stomachs, leaving only wordless silence. They survived the indefinite separation and finally waited for the long-awaited reunion, but they failed to overcome the barriers created by the passage of time. The Qinghe River flows quietly day after day, the thick fog in Dongcen Mountain comes and goes year after year, and the rising sun still breaks through the clouds as scheduled. The two people who once met to enjoy the morning light met again during the same period of youth. After several pulls, they finally headed their separate ways. Even if we cross the long river, we will never see the dawn. This belated encounter in the late autumn of sixteen years old did not have the desired ending, leaving only the regret of a silent ending. Purpose: This article tells the story of Xu Xiang and Zhang Huaixu's reunion after three years of separation, and their eventual separation. Things in the world are inherently difficult to be perfect, and we may not be able to stay together when we meet each other. Missing is also the normal state of life. We must learn to accept regrets calmly. At the same time, I also want to take this opportunity to remind you that when your heart comes, don't be trapped in cowardice. Only by having the courage to go for your heart will you not leave long-term regrets.
