Continuing the Relationship

The lives of Jiang Yanshen and Song Xuci have been tied together as long as they can remember, and they have been diametrically opposed to each other since they can remember. The two families are neighbors and have been in the same class for more than ten years. From childhood to adulthood, they have been the most incomprehensible pair of rivals in the eyes of others. You have to compete for first place in exams, you have to compete in rankings, you have to compete in sports meets, and even the trivial things in daily life have to be compared secretly. The young man was very stubborn and refused to admit defeat or bow his head. They would argue with each other when they met, and they would argue with each other when they spoke. They would never give in, and they had been competing awkwardly and stubbornly for more than ten years. Everyone is convinced that they are naturally at odds with each other and hate each other. They will only be tit-for-tat opponents in this life, and there will be no harmony at all. But only they themselves know that in this tit-for-tat confrontation that has lasted for more than ten years, there is a familiarity and concern that others cannot understand. They have witnessed each other's most embarrassing moments, know all of each other's weaknesses and habits, and understand each other's tempers and bottom lines. They dare to tease the corners that others dare not touch; the fragility that others cannot see can only be seen through by each other. This perennial tit-for-tat has quietly become a familiarity and habit that cannot be replaced by others. A sudden change broke the unchanging pattern of getting along with each other for more than ten years. The two people who used to only compete with each other are now forced to work side by side. In times of crisis, the tough-talking boy will subconsciously stand in front of him; in times of frustration, awkward concern will quietly fall into the details. The once harsh quarrels gradually became less and less, and the silent tolerance and indulgence became more and more. The iceberg melts slowly, the hostility slowly fades away, and the heartbeat hidden under the tit-for-tat confrontation breaks out. They gradually discovered that the rivalry for more than ten years was never boredom, but a preference that they were ignorant and did not understand when they were young. They argued with each other year after year, which was their unique and exclusive companionship. In the past, they were tit for tat, and they were enemies every year, refusing to give in to each other. Later, my heart palpitated, and I fell step by step, running in both directions. The whole youth has been quarreling, and the years have been spent. It turns out that the most stubborn rivalry in youth is, from the very beginning, a deep love that cannot be hidden. This two-way secret love that spanned more than ten years finally came to an end in midsummer, ending with them staying together for the rest of their lives. "My young rival, the heartthrob of my life." Intention: Bamboo and horse rivals have been in love for a long time and run in both directions.
