The wheels of time keep turning, and the traces of the years pile up over the road behind us, layer upon layer.
Childhood, high school, college...
The dullness of everyday life and the blurring of memories make Lin Xu'an ever more silent and weary.
"Let's break up!"
Lin Xu'an thought about it for a long time, then asked Zong Xuan to break up one night.
"Okay."
To Lin Xu'an's surprise, Zong Xuan was perfectly calm. They didn't even ask why, as if they had expected it all along.
Lin Xu'an felt a little out of sorts after leaving Zong Xuan, but soon life returned to normal.
Work, rest, save money...
Then, one day two years later, Lin Xu'an suddenly went through a belated adolescence.
"Why am I working so hard?"
After thinking it over, they couldn't come up with a reason.
They weren't desperate to own an expensive house, and they didn't have any extravagant hobbies. After five or six years of work, they had built up a substantial amount of savings.
So, in a rebellious mood, they quit their job and went back to their parents' hometown with their savings.
On sleepless nights, Lin Xu'an still wonders if any of this is real. The sense of unfamiliarity never goes away, but perhaps this is enough.
