A girl of this age always awkwardly rejects all good intentions from outsiders, while at the same time dealing with all the trivial matters in life. She balances the troubles of study and life, and looks abject and funny at the age of 16 when she arrives inexplicably.
When Pei Yu was 16 years old, he met Zhou Xing in the most remote small city in China. She had never seen such a dignified man, and it seemed that such a man would never appear in such a staid and boring place where even the air was filled with dust.
But fate is like this. He was arranged into her life without any reason. He was always teaching, teaching her how to behave, teaching her to be self-reliant and self-loving, and teaching her how to become a more valuable person...
She always thought to herself at this moment: Capitalists are indeed value theorists. But whenever he personally pointed out those unknown and conventional things, she couldn't help but want to learn more and learn more.
But, what value is she to him... She thought about it but found nothing. Zhou Xing seemed to be always calm and self-possessed, always confident, and always had countless chips in the gambling game.
One day, Pei Yu finally entered the gambling game that belonged to the two of them, but all she saw was Zhou Xing's figure running away.
At this moment, Zhou Xing's confident reason, which he had been confident in for 24 years, collapsed like a building. He didn't want her to experience the silence and bone-chilling coldness that followed the grand explosion of joy. She was still young and had many choices, but he was different. Even if he fell, he shouldn't drag her with him, letting him savor this loneliness bit by bit, waiting for her... Waiting for the day when she can really make a choice.
She never saw him again the next day, only a piece of paper with writing on the desk and a basket of berries with morning dew hanging on them.
"Study hard and don't let me down. After all... I am also your teacher."
From then on, the once down-and-out and funny girl seemed to have changed overnight. She was cold and sharp. She no longer hid her clumsiness or transparency in the crowd. She was outstanding in everything. All the teachers who had seen her praised her, but after every compliment, they always added: "It would be nice if that child wasn't so cold. She could just smile more."
It's not that Pei Yu has never heard such words before, but he just thinks it's pointless to laugh since he's not here.
This kind of life continued until after graduating from college, the two met again at a dinner party in Shanghai. She was no longer the silly kid before, and he was still the same as before, personable, gentlemanly and elegant, but lacking interest in everything.
Wearing black high-heeled shoes with red soles and a dark blue skirt that fell to the floor, she slowly stepped forward. The moment she walked in front of him, she curved her lips and smiled softly, looking very charming and unparalleled in beauty.
He only heard her ask: "Mr. Zhou, can I buy you a glass of berry schnapps?" At this moment, he felt that all these years of entanglement and prying were like a joke. His feelings for her were like ashes. He thought they had been extinguished long ago, but in fact they always rekindled, burning his supposedly rational brain. It was also at this moment, after so many years, that he realized that he could not calm down in front of her at all.
At this time, she was 22 years old and he was 30 years old.
The seemingly decayed poems were finally given a new look. Pei Yu, who majored in law, wrote a book word by word called "Berry" without Zhou Xing knowing it.
