"Reunion" is a youth narrative that spans time, using delicate strokes to outline the twin flowers of regret and redemption.
In junior high school, Ning Yan and Lin Xinyi became roommates, and their unspoken feelings were buried in the midsummer of cicadas and soda water. However, the gears of fate quietly shifted. Ning Yan fell into the abyss of loneliness due to family changes, while Lin Xinyi walked towards a completely different life with unanswered questions.
Ten years later, he was the cold and distant owner of the bar, hiding the secrets of the old picture frame and the rusty school sign; she was the bright teacher in the middle school dance classroom, but she was caught off guard in the school office when she saw the eyes that had measured the height of her textbooks for her. When Ning Yan's "Meet" cocktail and Lin Xinyi's iced strawberry soda met again, the sixteen-year-old's undried sweat, the star-shaped sticker in the center of the desk, and the graduation photos crumpled by time all came back to life in the neon and twilight.
This is a two-way rush that has been delayed for many years:
He used the bar sign "Tianyan" to hide God's will to reunite with her, but deliberately alienated her at the moment of reunion;
She folded the questions she had as a girl into the lesson plan, but caught a glimpse of the truth when she held his cold fingertips.
When Zhou Tong - Ning Yan's niece and Lin Xinyi's student - becomes the link between the two, the throbbing and pain buried by time will finally usher in the cocoon-like answer in the crackling of the wisteria gallery and the morning light of the dance classroom.
"A real new deskmate is never an accident."
Time will steal summer, but there will always be people guarding the unopened soda, waiting for a belated burst of bubbles.
Purpose: Deconstruct the regrets of youth through the span of time, explore how adults reconstruct self-salvation between forbearance and restraint and undercurrents of emotion, and complete the poetic retrospection and emotional suturing of youthful worries.
