Far, Far Away

1. Song Xin first met Qi Yan when he had just moved in. At the time, they were both little kids in yellow hats on their way to kindergarten, but Song Xin could tell at a glance that Qi Yan was no ordinary child. This brat was so full of himself! As it turned out, some people really do have what it takes to be aloof and conceited. From the moment Qi Yan became Song Xin's neighbor, he became the perfect example of "someone else's kid" in every parent's eyes. In kindergarten, Qi Yan stood stiffly in the auditorium and gave a speech as the children's representative. Song Xin, wearing a bumblebee dance costume, sat below the stage, gobbling jelly until she forgot to perform. In elementary school, Qi Yan excelled in every area, earning lavish praise from his teachers, while Song Xin began to struggle with certain subjects. She came in first in the school's writing competition, but her math grades were a disaster. In middle school, Qi Yan became the campus heartthrob. His desk was often stuffed with love letters, and little girls were always bringing him snacks. Song Xin... Song Xin took care of eating those snacks for him, while brooding over her own withered love life. High school was even more remarkable. Qi Yan's striking good looks caught the eye of a talent scout, and he successfully debuted as an actor, becoming an overnight sensation. His desk became a campus attraction, and people even dug his name out of his exercise books to keep as an autograph. As for Song Xin, she still struggled with certain subjects, still had no luck in love, and still secretly wrote novels during math class. No one knew that Song Xin hated her "contrast character," Qi Yan, so much her teeth ached, yet her heart still fluttered whenever she heard his name. Even fewer knew that one of Qi Yan's pleasures was watching someone gorge herself, while another was nipping that someone's chances at romance in the bud. 2. During the years Qi Yan became a dazzling superstar, Song Xin graduated without fanfare and met with one setback after another at work. Whenever she happened to see one of Qi Yan's giant posters on the street, she would think, It's been so long. The distance between us seems to grow greater and greater. Everything that happened back then feels like a dream that was too beautiful to be real. Years later, however, they met again. Song Xin had become a renowned screenwriter with a hit drama to her name, while Qi Yan was caught up in scandal and had fallen to rock bottom. "You've seen all of me. How will you choose?" "Even if the mountains are high and the road is long, I'll go with you." * Mutual secret crushes * Childhood friends become unexpected lovers * Campus + entertainment industry, screenwriter x award-winning actor Theme: Work hard for your dreams.
