Jiang Jingchen is the brightest light in Xu Huai's life, holding hands under the desk, crowding in the crowd to watch fireworks on New Year's Eve, Jiang Jingchen's drawer contains love letters that Xu Huai has written and revised, and Xu Huai's mobile phone contains secretly photographed photos of Jiang Jingchen's side face.
But the quarrel on the graduation day was like a shower. Family opposition, worldly views, fear of the future, and the unspoken words "I don't want to lose you" caused them to cut off all contact at the moment when they should hold each other tightly.
The reunion six years later was unexpected.
The gentle ringing of the wind chimes in the cafe seemed to remind those thoughts buried by time. Xu Huai thought of the expired movie tickets he found when sorting out old things, and of the scar that he still had to touch despite knowing the pain.
What happened back then, the distance in reality, their respective life trajectories, and the guilt hidden in their hearts made every step closer to them hesitant.
"You got that letter." Xu Huai's fingertips ran across the yellowed letter on the table.
Jiang Jingchen held the handle of the cup tightly, her fingertips turning slightly white from the exertion, and said in a very soft voice, "There are some things I want to hear you say now."
"Good"
