The names of the two male protagonists are taken from these two sentences.
Looking back are like grass and trees, but you are the green mountain
Find peace among the flowers, but spend this life with clouds and flowing water
Book title meaning:
Qing corresponds to Gu Jieqing, and Yun corresponds to An Ningyun. It is a long, never giving up pursuit.
Obsession, deep attack, alienation type
Gu Jieqing is a character with deep obsessions. His love is never a momentary impulse due to his appearance, but is slowly rooted in long-term observation.
Just entered the second grade of high school, everyone is crowded together and noisy, only An Ningyun is always alone. Sit quietly in your seat, do not actively socialize, keep your distance from others, and feel a faint sense of alienation around you. Most others think he is cold and unapproachable, and subconsciously do not bother him.
But Gu Jieqing saw something underneath the shell.
An Ningyun looked indifferent, but retained a softness that she didn't know she had. When he sees a stray kitten in the corridor, he will quietly put bread away; if a classmate accidentally touches a book, he will silently bend down to help pick it up; he writes in a childish primary school student's handwriting, which is in sharp contrast to his cold appearance. This contrast was the first thing that caught Gu Jieqing's attention.
An Ningyun is used to hiding her emotions, rarely complains, and is used to digesting everything alone. This independent, sensitive and aggressive appearance made Gu Jieqing, who was paranoid at heart, deeply concerned. Everyone else wanted a warm and outgoing companion, but Gu Jieqing wanted to get close to this closed shadow.
At first, I was just curious, wondering why this person was always out of tune with the people around him. Paying attention day after day, curiosity slowly turned into concern.
He found that An Ningyun was afraid of sudden intimacy, had a habit of predicting harm in advance, and habitually pushed everyone away. Gu Jieqing was clearly aware of his thick defense and had the idea of staying. Others choose to retreat when faced with indifference, but Gu Jieqing is unwilling to admit defeat.
He was fascinated by this pulling feeling: An Ningyun avoided everything on the surface, but occasionally showed slight fluctuations. An inadvertent pause, an evasive look, and not turning away immediately.
This "looks like rejection, but actually leaves a gap", which keeps pulling Gu Jieqing.
Purpose: Thank you, little ones, for reading my article.
