Xu Ran has a dividing line in his heart that is not inferior to the international line. He stood on one side, and Jiang Yu stood on the other side. He always assumed that Jiang Yu and himself were on opposite sides.
When she first met Jiang Yu, Xu Ran was dragged to his class by Fang Yi. Probably from when he clumsily knocked onto Jiang Yu's table. At that time, their gazes were like catkins in midsummer, drifting into Xu Ran's heart without any warning.
Looking at each other is a very ambiguous thing, which Xu Ran agrees on. The eyes are a very private place, and looking directly at each other is unreservedly candid. He had only given this kind of honesty to one person.
Everyone said that Jiangyu was like a block of ice that could not be melted. Xu Ran wanted to give it a try. He didn't have the courage. At that age when he was so public, he didn't dare to reveal it.
He can no longer be honest.
There are too many things that are destined to happen, until they happen to them. He wasn't the one who came back to school after the exam to pick up the papers, and he didn't even come to the graduation ceremony. There were graduates from all the classes in their grade in the group photo, except Jiang Yu.
Ji Tan heard the news about Jiang Yu again from a good friend of Jiang Yu. Only then did he realize that Jiang Yu had already left at that time. He had gone far away and had not been here for a long time.
From then on, they were really separated by an international line.
That international line is really long and far away. It had been so long that Xu Ran was almost relieved and life was on the right track. Only Fang Yi and Ji Tan occasionally obtained some updates on the island from Jiang Qing.
No matter what, Xu Ran is no longer as nervous as he was then. He was afraid that one day the secret would be made public, so he had to pretend every day, pretending to be very tired. When people leave, the tea is cold and their hearts are empty. Xu Ran was trying to find things for himself to numb his feelings of remembering and missing Jiang Yu.
It's strange that people are not so happy when they meet again. It's not joy, it's not surprise, it's more the sourness that overflows from the bottom of my heart. I'm not sad or happy, but I want to cry for no reason.
The international line divided them into two. The next time they met was when Xu Ran heard the news about Jiang Yu's return to China. He stayed up all night and saw him at the breakfast shop downstairs of his house the next day.
This ice cube forgot about him.
The reunion encounter is not as grand and romantic as in the novel, it is just an ordinary encounter at dawn one day. Xu Ran is like a cicada, looking forward to a certain dawn, waiting for this day forever. Even if this ice cube says that he wants to be friends with him from the beginning, it doesn't matter. Reunion is a rare thing in the world.
