No one knows better than Zhou Bai how sad it is to decide to give up on someone. This is really a cruel thing, like tail-cutting to survive, a vague and lingering growing pain.
Zhou Bai fell in love with Chu Xun when he was fourteen and stayed with her until he was twenty-four. She stepped onto the one-way street without looking back, as if fighting a fire, even with a bit of fierce determination.
At the age of sixteen, the school organized a spring outing to the amusement park. Zhou Bai squeezed into the queue where Chu Xun was waiting. The boy bowed his head and gave her a piece of plum candy. The sugar was very sour. Zhou Bai held it in his mouth and tasted a hint of sweetness. On the jumping machine, her ears were filled with screams, and the feeling of weightlessness came like a tide. The crowd left and the blue sky approached. She turned her head and looked at Chu Xun, and suddenly and inappropriately came up with an absurd idea - like elopement. Escape in panic, with a light and vigorous love in your chest, and the courage to fight even if you know the outcome.
Eighteen-year-old Bai Delu, Zhou Bai sat in the airport lobby all day. Chu Xun was going abroad that day. She didn't know which plane he was on, but she just watched people pouring in according to the sign in front of the glass window. The numbers on the electronic screen changed. Zhou Bai did not dare to send a message to Chu Xun and watched each plane fly away in silence.
The boy she loved has left and is about to embark on a foreign land. A whole piece of land and ocean blocked their already weak connection, and the gap could no longer be bridged. Zhou Bai leaned back in his chair and thought, when will it snow.
In the winter when Zhou Bai was twenty-four years old, there was an unprecedented heavy snowfall in the small southern town where Zhou Bai lived. While waiting for the traffic light, she saw Chu Xun. The young man was tall and straight. She did not come forward to say hello, but fell behind him, quietly pretending to be a passerby. She recalled words that she had no chance to mention many years ago and perhaps would never say again in the future.
She spent ten years having a grand dream. Unfortunately, whether she wanted to wake up or not, it was all over.
The words Zhou Bai hid in his heart and refused to speak were left with a short sigh, Chu Xun, but I really like you.
Years, years.
Purpose: Let your favorite achievements make you a shining self.
