Many years later, Shen Minghuan told Lin Xiaoxiao that she read this passage in Fang Shengming's diary:
After graduating from high school, I got admitted to the university I wanted to go to, but my parents pushed me onto the plane while I was half asleep.
The place I went to was a very ordinary island with mostly foreign faces, but my return ticket was scheduled for two weeks later by my parents.
I tried hard to adapt to the life here, but I still found myself out of tune with it. Finally on the third day, I met an Eastern face.
It was under the setting sun, and there was a slight breeze on the beach. She was beautiful, really beautiful. I couldn't describe her in words. I looked at her longingly for a long time, and she seemed to feel my gaze and turned around.
I didn't know how to talk to her, and I was very nervous. I was afraid that I would scare her away because of my clumsiness, but she smiled happily because of my hesitation.
Within ten days after the incident, we became friends and talked about everything.
I have to thank God because a year later, I met her again.
I suddenly understood that what I wanted to do was not to own her, but to protect her, because I knew that the best love is not to possess, but to let go.
I think this is the so-called love at first sight. When I first saw her, she took root in my heart, thrived, and grew into a towering tree step by step, which I can't get rid of.
Shen Minghuan cried like a child in Lin Xiaoxiao's arms. She said that she was too stupid, and the love she fell in love with at first sight was always by her side.
