This is a story about "a long period of dislocation and settlement". A person who has been walking in silence for fifteen years is finally caught by the other party after they have grown up.
Xiao Qi and Yan Shuchen are typical people who "like but don't get close".
They started as deskmates in junior high school and missed each other, but no one dared to really move forward. Xiao Qi would write "I like you very much" in the letter, and Yan Shuchen would only dare to reply "I remember the sycamore tree you painted"; he would buy souvenirs and put them down, and she would stand on the second floor and watch him walk into the ticket gate. It's not that they don't love each other, it's that they are too afraid of "disturbing each other".
In the past fifteen years, they have each experienced loss, perseverance, and growth. Yan Shuchen lost a layer of skin in the flight academy and learned to hide gentleness in restrained movements.
They are also surrounded by a group of friends who "look cold but are actually very warm" - Xiao Ran and Yi Ran confirmed their relationship in three sentences, and used their seven-year marriage to prove that there is warmth under the ice; Liu Shanchao and Chen Sui added WeChat at the Central American Graduation Exhibition, and it was eight years before they engraved their names on the railway track.
This is not a "broken mirror reunited" story, because the mirror was never broken - it was just fogged. It took them years to wipe away the fog and see that the other person had always been there.
Concept: A story about long-term dislocation and settlement. The two walked in silence for fifteen years, and when they each grew up, they were finally firmly caught by the other.
