Also known as "After bumping into my ex of three years on the plane"
"I don't fall in love in college."
Guan Zhimo's words shut out all the students in Chongyuan University.
Everyone believed it and stayed away, except Qin Wanyue who didn't believe it.
Qin Wanyue, with her lonely courage and a sharp shovel, dug out the law department's flower Guan Zhimo from the soil, not picking it out, but uprooting it.
From then on, he became famous in one battle. Many versions of this story were circulated in Chongyuan University, which encouraged many people to take the initiative to fight for love.
But... The campus couple who was supposed to stay together after graduation ended sadly.
Qin Wanyue broke into Guan Zhimo's world with great turmoil and was able to leave cleanly.
We meet again after many years, not on a crowded street or at a noisy party...
And on... A long-distance flight from Budapest to Lincheng.
I saw Guan Zhimo boarding the plane and sat down in the same row, with only an aisle and an arm's length between him and me.
Qin Wanyue only had to dig three feet into the ground to bury herself and erect a monument.
Could there be anything more coincidental than this in the world?
She had always loved chatting with strangers, but she sat particularly silently on the plane. She wrapped her face in a scarf and slept with her head sideways all the way, leaving Guan Zhimo with the back of her head.
When serving meals, Qin Wanyue thought carefully about how to eat with half of her head exposed.
A familiar voice sounded next to me: "This flight lasts eleven hours, isn't it boring?"
She silently took her head out of the scarf and said, "It's a little bit."
She slept particularly uneasily along the way, probably because she felt guilty, and also because Guan Zhimo had such a strong presence around her.
She stretched her aching neck and glanced at the empty seat next to Guan Zhimo. "There's no one next to you. I'll sit over there."
Guan Zhimo's eyes froze, and before he could refuse, she had already stood up from her seat, walked across the corridor without any explanation, and sat down next to him.
Just like many years ago, she had torn a hole in his world without explanation and broke in without permission.
"How have you been these past few years?" She asked sideways, her old friend's tone carrying an unnatural sense of strangeness.
"... Very good."
"Are you still single?" She once again broke Guan Zhimo's indifference.
Guan Zhimo was silent for a long time when facing this question, as if he could relate many things in one moment.
After getting the affirmative answer, he felt a weight on his shoulders
"Let me lean on you, my neck is so sore..."
"Qin Wanyue, do you think you can still have privileges here with me? Do you know that we have broken up..."
There was no answer in his ears, only the sound of her exhausted breathing.
He had thought about countless reunion scenarios and thought of a way to coldly reject her, but he completely forgot that Qin Wanyue never played by the rules in his life.
The words of refusal were stuck in his throat by the sound of the plane's engine. He was like a puppet, neither agreeing nor refusing.
It wasn't until Qin Wanyue had had enough sleep that she raised her head and said nonchalantly:
"Of course I know the fact of the breakup, but if I have to find a shoulder to sleep on on the plane, aren't you the person I know best?"
"If you don't want to, just reject me." She said looking into his eyes.
After getting off the plane, she said: "The hotel I booked is nearby. Are you coming? I can also go to your house."
Guan Zhimo's eyes narrowed, "What are you thinking about..."
She shrugged, "In a word, come or not come. If not, I will find someone else..."
Suddenly there was a pain in her waist, and he squeezed her waist punitively.
"... You dare."
If you don't refuse... Then continue to be patient in the rest of your life.
