In their first year of friendship, high school student Yu Chengbai takes a five-hour early-morning train to Jiangcheng to keep Xiang Yi company during a lonely May Day holiday.
With Xiang Yi holding his wrist, they find a perfect spot away from the holiday crowds and see the sea for the first time in Yu Chengbai's life.
In the fourth year after breaking up with Xiang Yi, actor Yu Chengbai is thrust into the spotlight by a kissing video in which Xiang Yi's face can't be made out.
To lower the heat, he breaks his own rules and agrees to appear on a variety show.
In a private room, Xiang Yi reaches out his hand.
"I've always been a fan of Mr. Yu. How about we exchange contact information?"

Theme: Lovers find their way to each other in the end.
Here are my thoughts after reading! A video from six years ago, or a remnant of an old love, was unexpectedly put in the spotlight, reconnecting two people who had not been in contact for four years. By chance, a variety show gave them the opportunity to meet again. However, even without this variety show, I have a hunch that Xiang will definitely find a suitable opportunity to start this reunion. Yu has never let go of Xiang Ba. The probability of a video in which his face cannot be seen clearly affects Xiang is very slim, but he is careful not to leave any chance to this possibility; just a hug can make him sleepy and convinced, tossing and turning until dawn. What would Yu think? Thinking about what he would think when he saw that video, thinking about the four blank years between the two of them, thinking about how he was living, wondering whether his family could squeeze out a little more time to spend with him, or whether he had any new emotional experiences? Or are you thinking about the spring, summer, autumn and winter when they fell in love, every bit of joy, bitterness and tranquility they spent together, the hands they held countless times, the clothes they wore, the hugs they held in countless mornings, the passionate, lingering, or tender kisses? Or push the time forward a little further, thinking about the first time the two met, thinking about my persistence in getting closer, thinking about his sweaty face, thinking about his loneliness, thinking about his cute reaction at a loss, thinking about his serious expression when he said he would take him to see the sea, or thinking about his hair floating when the street lights turned on? Maybe both. There were so many of them that Yu Chengbai's not-so-large heart could not hold them, so that as soon as a small opening as big as a pinhole was opened, they poured out, filling his whole body and squeezing out all the sleepiness. It flowed leisurely onto the bed, twisting the sheets into a mess; it flowed onto the body, pushing Yu to roll around; it overflowed the whole room, filling the whole room with a complex breath that didn't know whether it was cold or hot, and poured into the lungs, making people even a little breathless. What about Xiang Yi? After learning that the law firm accepted a variety show, how did he feel about recommending Yu? Excited? Perturbed? Maybe a little anxious? Since the reunion, he seems to have been acting quite calmly. Even when greeting each other in the office, he only restrained himself within the boundaries of old friends. Xiang is a very patient person. He knows what steps are needed to achieve his goal. Just like learning, step by step, he can smoothly lead to the foreseeable ending. Then what made him embrace the figure he longed for as if he were jumping to solve a problem in the darkness where the night breeze was lingering, the light was silent, and the world seemed to have closed its eyes? Is it the many minutes spent in a daze late at night when looking at the city night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows? Is it the joy and sourness of watching him appear in one film after another? Is it the jealousy that comes from watching him fume sourly when filming a kissing scene with someone else? Or is it the countless nights spent tossing and turning like Yu in a room filled with memories? Nothing more needs to be said, nothing more needs to be said. Why did they separate? Considering the studio's establishment time, is it because of the nature of Yu's work? What kind of scandal spread that led to Xiang being harassed? Or is it obstruction from the company? Parental rejection? There was so little information that I had no idea where to start. But what is certain is that both of them have left too many traces in each other's life so far. Their own lives have been mixed with too much of the other's life. They have long been inseparable. To cut out the other's life is tantamount to cutting open the flesh and taking out the bones. Having said this, I thought of the hug in the office again. It was like a preview, or a small metaphor, indicating the inevitable outcome of the two people's resumption. In fact, how can it be said to be dead ashes? Under the gray embers of love, there are clearly burning sparks that never go out, like billowing fire. In this case, it is inevitable that half of the broken mirror attracts and searches for the other half of the broken mirror, and finally embraces each other tightly. Finally, apart from the plot, I would like to praise my wife's writing style. I really like Madam's plain yet romantic writing style. From each small scene, you can get a glimpse of Madam's bubbling romantic cells. I have to say that Madam's line drawing is very good, and she can outline a colorful and vivid scene with just a few strokes, like an old banyan tree breathing softly under the sun at noon in midsummer. In a green shade that is so comfortable and comfortable that your glasses will slide off, when viewed from a not too high building, the deep and shallow leathery green leaves reflect the sparkling waves like the sea. Anyway, all in all, my wife is really great, wow, have some confidence in yourself! Come on, come on, come on! Phew—the construction of Changping is completed!
I came here from Chaohua. I saw the tweet but it was really short, only 50,000 words. I might have to save it, but the uu people in the comment area are really cute, especially the short essay is really long hahhh
