When Zhu Shansong was seventeen, she joined a trending topic: #What does it feel like to fall for someone you can never be with?
That night, she wrote her answer:
It's like looking at the moon through a wine cup. You and he are destined to be far apart. You can look up in silent understanding, but the moon will never look back at you. You have to be ready for it to come to nothing.

Zhu Shansong had a secret crush on Li Dao for seven years. The year she gave up, Li Dao confessed his feelings to her.
He should have been a longing she had already stifled. Yet on an island without another soul, her love grew like wild grass, passionate and absurd, awakening a half-lit nightmare and rekindling her hopes.
In a dream she could not wake from, a fish and a crab fell in love, while the swan's heart still yearned for him.

On the night Zhu Shansong decided to break up, she saw again the words she had written years ago, when she was young and secretly in love.
She stayed silent for a long time, then picked up her pen again for the first time in years and wrote:
May we never meet again. I wish him bright spring days.

After reading it, I want to leave a comment. To be honest, this is one of the few stories I have seen where both the male and female protagonists survived. After all, I have seen one of the two sides disappear before. In fact, there was a deep feeling in this episode. The male protagonist's grades improved little by little, while the female protagonist was affected and retreated a bit. Later, she transferred to another school for the sake of her future and returned to her original self. In the middle of the episode, the female protagonist saw the male protagonist and Yu Su, and suddenly felt unable to see her father immediately. In fact, when I saw the heroine see this scene, to be honest, it touched me a little, and it made me more worried. Maybe for me, the ups and downs of the previous story were relatively bland and could be summarized as the heroine's love but she couldn't get it. But when it comes to this situation, it really resonates. I think the most important thing in novels, especially be, is not to describe how miserable both parties are, but to arouse everyone's empathy. Later, when the male and female protagonists are together, the female protagonist gives up her place for the male protagonist, and then the female protagonist fights for herself, it is the process of transforming into an independent woman. While I was looking at it, I also told my friend that it was a bit humiliating for me not to choose a better university just for myself. Tian Tian also said that a boy she liked didn't get into this school, so she was no longer interested and felt it was useless. Later, the life in the city made me feel that I should not be limited to love. Love is beautiful, but it depends on whether it is suitable for you. The female protagonist is not obsessed with it. Although the male protagonist later thinks that the female protagonist thinks he is unimportant or something, after all, the incident between him and Yu Su is indeed more influential. In short, the biggest feeling after reading this novel is: everyone must live for themselves! Don't lose yourself for the sake of love, and I hope other readers and the author will get better and better in the days to come! (This is my first long review. I just said what I wanted to say. It may not be logical. I just said whatever comes to mind.)
I'm very satisfied with this ending! Life is not only about love and love. It is great to let go of the future that makes the heroine sad and worry about gains and losses and pursue her own bright future. It is great to have an open life!
He feels that the heroine does not love him enough, but if he does a good job in this relationship and does not show that he is obsessed with his ex, people around him will not repeatedly discuss and compare the two women. Fortunately, the heroine also knows that the future is more important, so she lets go of a man who is not the only one who cares about her and moves towards a better future.
Thank you very much for the comments from the little angels. If you see anyone who doesn't understand the ending, let me explain it. The story is like this. If we talk about the heroine's design problem, in the campus part, the heroine chose to transfer schools for her own sake. Writing this can be regarded as a hint that later on, the heroine will still put her future and career first when working. If it's because the male and female protagonists are together later, but there are too few plots, my idea is that the campus crush should be an important part. The two are together but with different goals. The heroine's later decision cannot be said to be a sudden awakening. In the following chapters, I deliberately wrote that the male and female protagonists have different working environments and locations, and their future plans are also inconsistent. Neither of them wants to give up what they love for the other. The heroine's decision is to let them find their own lives. There will be no quarrels or disharmony. The peaceful separation is to make themselves better. Thanks for the review. I will note down the bad points and improve slowly. Thank you. You can read my reply before reading the article. Thank you for reading www crab crab.
I really hope Li can know the heroine's lovesickness and crush. He said he can't feel the heroine's love. I really feel sorry for the heroine.
Since I can't let go of my ex, I still come to provoke the heroine. It's so irresponsible.
I'm a little confused. It seems from the following that he likes the heroine. Why does he still call his ex-girlfriend's name when he is drunk?
So does the male protagonist like the female protagonist? At the end of the story, the male protagonist did not know that the female protagonist had liked him so early on.

Damn it, you are so proactive
