Synopsis
Few people are forced to leave a familiar city and will be full of joy after going to a strange city - seventeen-year-old Ji Qingyu is no exception. She resists the sweltering heat of Nangang, is tired of the prying eyes attracted by her similar facial features to her mother, and is even more disgusted with her father cheating on her high school teacher and being forced to transfer to another school. After transferring to the High School Affiliated to Nangang, she originally planned to live her life like a solitary boat that could escape at any time, living carelessly in this city. But after meeting Chen Yihuan, in the pale and monotonous years, there was something fresh and worth remembering. The girl who often wears aqua blue hair ribbons looks like a cheerful little sparrow, but her chirping does not make people annoying. She would secretly give her a piece of birthday cake after evening repairs, draw smiling faces and sketches on small slips of paper, cough lightly when she was being discussed, and change the topic as if nothing had happened... Ji Qingyu once thought that Chen Yihuan was so gentle to everyone. Beautiful and bright, like an unbiased little sun, always exuding just the right warmth. Until she discovered—— Only she had seen Chen Yihuan cry with the tip of his nose red; Only she has tasted the other person's burnt biscuits; Only she can make the always good-tempered girl tighten her clothes and say in a dull voice: "I want you to stay." Not a euphemistic "hope", not a negotiated "best", but a firm "want". Unfortunately, the adult world has always been absurd. The father who ran for city council classified cheating as "a mistake that all men in the world make", but he would never tolerate the political risks brought about by his daughter's "homosexuality" and threatened with photos - "You can destroy yourself, but do you want her to be labeled a 'seduce' too?" Ji Qingyu knows better than anyone that even if a seventeen-year-old girl has the courage to act recklessly, she is not an adult with complete autonomy. Especially in this small town, "difference" is like a fish falling into a turbid current. Even if it is as innocent as a newborn fry, it will be choked to death by the saliva of the onlookers. Unless everyone is convinced that the fish was only temporarily confused by the bait and can still be washed away with clean water of "youth and ignorance". So she chose to leave the "surrender" letter that lied about unrequited love, swallowed all the abuse and misunderstandings, and pretended to be the cowardly seducer. Like migratory birds, they follow the changing seasons and return north before the coming of the following spring. * Ji Qingyu thought about countless possibilities of reunion—— Perhaps it was during the school anniversary of Nangang High School. They looked at each other from a distance through the crowds of people but eventually passed each other; Perhaps it was at the backstage of an awards ceremony that Chen Yihuan was being chased by the spotlight as a food blogger, while she was just an inconspicuous spectator in the audience; Or maybe it will always be just the avatar on social software that you dare not click on. But she never thought that she would be stunned when she saw the name on the registration list of her clinic that she had not dared to mention for six years. "Chen Yihuan, 24 years old, complained of upper abdominal pain for two weeks." She looked up and met a pair of equally astonished eyes. The woman who pushed open the door was more beautiful than she remembered. She tapped the door frame with her knuckles: "Dr. Ji, long time no see. Can I appoint you for my next follow-up consultation?" "Okay." She heard her voice sound stiff, but she secretly slipped a piece of paper when she handed over the medical record - "This time it's my turn to ask you to stay." Intention: Positive and uplifting
