[Gentle, sensitive, fragile beauty shou x Sincere, perceptive top student gong]
When Yan Xia said she wanted to be friends with Zhong Qiu,
Yan Xia had a mean thought: When will she give up?
All she wanted then was for this pushy girl to leave her alone.
Later, Yan Xia asked Zhong Qiu, "You're so nice to me. Why are you still afraid of making me unhappy?"
Zhong Qiu replied as if it were obvious, "I have to be good to you in exactly the way you want!"
Yan Xia thought, No one has ever treated me as well as Zhong Qiu does.
So this is what it feels like to be her friend. It's so wonderful!
Later still, Zhong Qiu told her, "I love you. In the past, now, and in the future, Zhong Qiu will always love only Yan Xia."
Yan Xia stubbornly replied, "No. You can't, and you shouldn't."
It wasn't that she didn't like Zhong Qiu. She just thought Zhong Qiu shouldn't get tangled up with her. The rumors would ruin Zhong Qiu's life.
In the end, Yan Xia thought in her own pathetic way: If Zhong Qiu ever gets tired of her, she'll sneak away and never come back.
But one day, Zhong Qiu said to her, "Xia Xia, would you like me to take you to meet my mom?"
Yan Xia's heart trembled. After a long while, she heard herself ask, "Would she approve?"
"How could she not? You're wonderful, Xia Xia."
Zhong Qiu was always like that. She never mentioned the effort she put in, only how wonderful Xia Xia was.
In Yan Xia's old world, there was no room to retreat. No matter what happened, she could only grit her teeth and keep going. But later, someone stood in the autumn that belonged to her, with eyes and heart full of nothing but her.
Theme: Be brave and keep moving forward.
