Jiang Yu, who grew up under the strict family discipline of teachers, was used to hiding his emotions. In high school, the boy named Ai Yang in the next class was like a ray of sunshine that inadvertently broke into her gray world - starting from his handsome face, and even more profound from his gentle smile when he hugged his grandma after self-study in the evening. The girl's throbbing was forever sealed in the peripheral vision every time she passed by his classroom window.
But fate quietly weaved a web of reunion. The two accidentally entered the same university. In order to get rid of the shackles of introversion, Jiang Yu joined the college basketball team, but reunited with his old friends on the court. The college years unfold like a scroll: the sweat on the basketball court, the bustle of the fraternity, the trip to Xiamen arranged by friends, the Beijing study tour organized by the school, the cooperation in inter-professional competitions... Countless seemingly accidental intersections gradually bring the two parallel lines closer. Xu Nian, who was extremely passive and slow-tempered, had long been accustomed to silently sketching his outline in her heart, and never expected to respond.
On the farewell night of the basketball team during my sophomore year, which was filled with the melancholy of farewell, the feelings accumulated for many years broke through all the shackles. On the familiar basketball court, facing that back, I used my whole life's courage to express my love deep in my heart.
In the spring of their senior year, they followed a common memory trail - revisiting their high school alma mater, strolling through the alleys of Beijing, and finally stopping at the beach in Xiamen. As dusk fell, the young man unfolded a carefully arranged world of images for her: the dedicated recorder on the side of the university court, the free smile in the sunlight on Gulangyu Island, the curious silhouette in front of the red wall in Beijing... Every frame was proof that he was quietly following her. "Xiao Yu, your love was hidden in my peripheral vision. Now, change my eyes and follow you forever."
Intention: Long flow of water, warmth and healing, sour secret love, restraint and implicitness, growth and transformation.
