Shen Li, an introverted and sensitive academic master, has carefully hidden his secret love for many years under the identity of a sweetheart. He is greedy for Shen Yan's unique gentleness and tolerance. He originally planned to slowly break away from cowardice in his long-term companionship, and live a brave and magnanimous life, daring to pursue his heart, and a different next self.
Shen Yan, the first grader in the grade who is cold on the outside but hot on the inside, has long been attracted to the boy he spends day and night with. He is accustomed to accommodating and favoring her, but he never clearly defines the boundaries, allowing the ambiguity to quietly ferment in the daily life of the campus.
Rumors followed one after another, followed by confessions from others. Shen Li, who suffered from low self-esteem, mistakenly believed that he could never have this dazzling preference. In order to keep his remaining friend status, he deliberately alienated and cut off all close connections with his own hands, pushing away the people he cared about in the most decisive way.
Misunderstandings arose, the Cold War began, and the two people who were once inseparable became the most familiar strangers. Shen Li was trapped in his own regret and suffering and consumed himself, while Lin Yan put away all his tenderness in the loss of being let down.
The story is divided into three parts: the first part uses forbearing misunderstandings to pave the way for a sad feeling, and writes about the youthful regrets of missing out on both sides; the second part begins the long pursuit of the wife and the crematorium, and the belated awakening is accompanied by endless compensation and pull; the third part allows the two people to let go of their hearts and reconcile with each other, truly accepting themselves in the process of running in, and finally transforming into a new look that is more complete and more capable of cherishing.
Purpose: After transformation and regret, become a new self
