Chen Xu is twenty and works in sales at an Apple Authorized Reseller. He loves technology, likes to live by a plan, and firmly believes that romance brings nothing but unnecessary trouble.
Xu Ning approached him four times and was rejected four times. The last time, she let go of her hopes and finally stopped looking for him. Chen Xu, however, began to feel uneasy. He finished his tasks, but no one messaged him. The time that had once been his suddenly felt impossibly long.
Later, they fell deeply in love. They shared embraces in a tiny kitchen and imagined a far-off future in a home with room for two desks.
But those futures were always put off until work settled down, until this busy spell was over, until tomorrow.
Xu Ning left, still in love with him. Only when Chen Xu reread their old messages did he realize that she had clearly told him what she wanted.
When they met again, he was finally ready to speak. But she couldn't forget why she'd left just because she still couldn't bear to part with him.
There is still time left in life. Can an understanding that came too late catch up with love when it comes around again?
*This book has three endings: an open ending, a happy ending, and a bad ending.
Theme: Love isn't about learning to cherish someone only after losing them. It's about learning to understand, respond, and take responsibility while you still have them.
