Xiangzhang Lane in the old city is where the story begins. Young Shang Shixu met Jiang Xunzhi, who had entered college, and he admired her deeply, starting a long and secret love. Jiang Xunzhi was also attracted to the quiet and sensitive boy, but the age gap and the uncertainty of the future were in front of him. He forced himself to keep his boundaries and only care about him from a distance with just the right amount of tenderness.
Countless ambiguous moments breed feelings: sharing an umbrella on a rainy night but not daring to look at each other, inadvertently touching fingertips and hurriedly dodging, full of words stuck in the throat, leaving only temptation and silence. Both of them mistakenly believed that they were the only ones wishful thinking.
After the college entrance examination, Shang Shixu went to study in a foreign country, and the two were forced to separate. There has been very little contact over the years, and brief greetings cannot sustain long-lasting thoughts. Jiang Xunzhi secretly collected the small gifts given by the boy back then, and kept the photos taken in Zhangxiang in the photo album; Shang Shixu sealed his heartbeat in his heart and survived countless lonely moments alone.
The coastal city reunited unexpectedly six years later. By chance, they live in similar places, and the number of contacts gradually increases, and a new round of pulling and pulling slowly begins. A confession that was almost blurted out during a drunken night, but was forcibly taken back after sobering up; a quiet companionship without words when the other party was depressed; past memories resurfaced repeatedly, and small clues kept bringing back the regrets of the past.
Barriers and uneasiness still envelope the two of them, and the silence of the past many years is a thin wall between their hearts. As the relationship deepens, old things that have been collected for many years are unexpectedly exposed, and clues reveal the truth - it turns out that it was never a one-sided journey.
In the end, at dusk on the beach, Jiang Xunzhi took the lead in letting go of all restraint and confessed his feelings that he had hidden for more than ten years. The long trial, miss, and forbearance have all come to fruition. The two slowly untied their respective knots, no longer avoided love, slowly fell in love with each other in ordinary life, and completed two-way redemption.
Intention: Love that lasts forever is beautiful.
