Gentle and devoted X aloof heartthrob
They met when they were young and were once neighbors.
At film school, Qu Kerong was known as the campus goddess, while Yun He was voted the gentle campus heartthrob by everyone.
Their friendship lasted for many years.
Yun He quietly stayed by Qu Kerong's side, watching her fall in love and break up again and again.
But perhaps only Yun He knew how early he had fallen for her.
Yun He won a marriage with his devotion, but in the end, all he received was Qu Kerong's apologetic gaze.
"You're wonderful in every way, but I can't find that feeling of falling in love with you."
Later.
Over three years, they met only twice.
Once, to get divorced.
Once, to get remarried.
Separated by an ocean, they went three years without seeing each other, yet they never stopped thinking of one another.
Missing you in ways you'll never know, my hometown and my beloved.
Oh, hometown,
Oh, beloved,
Since neither can be forgotten,
Why not pretend we still have them?
--Farewell Is Hard by the Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Singers
