We met in the midsummer of our second year of high school, and our thoughts grew quietly amidst the hustle and bustle. Fu Yanci was unruly and proud, hiding his deep love under indifference; Xu Zhihe was gentle and forbearing, turning his heartbeat into a careful test. But hypocritical rumors spread and malicious provocations followed. Lin Ruoyao calculated every step of the way, using lies to weave layers of misunderstandings and drive a wedge between each other. He listened to the illusion, looked at her coldly, and made every word heartbreaking; she suffered all the criticism, silently endured it, and was crushed bit by bit with her heart filled with joy. In the same classroom, there were two other relationships that ended in vain. Lu Shiyan's restraint and alienation exhausted Su Wanzhi's long wait; Jiang Xuye's wanton laxity extinguished Wen Nianxing's enthusiasm. During the three years of youth, suspicions abounded and estrangements were hard to eliminate. The college entrance examination ended, the six people went their separate ways, and all three pairs of secret love ended. It wasn't until the truth surfaced many years later that Fu Yanci was shocked to realize that he had personally pushed away the only sincerity in the world. The rest of my life is long, with only endless regret and looking back alone. The people in that midsummer remain in our memories after all. We disappear year after year, leaving only lingering regrets.

Chen Xu has always felt that three years in college is a long time. Lin You grew up enough to transform from the girl who shouted his name beside the railway to a social master in her own right; Shen Zhiwei has grown up enough to go from the girl who blushed even if she borrowed notes to the resolute head of the practice department. They ate more than 300 meals in the cafeteria together, passed a thousand small notes during evening self-study together, and lived a steamy life together in this school called "Tie Dao". It wasn't until the day of graduation that Chen Xu looked at the bachelor's hat in his suitcase and suddenly realized: It turns out that three years is so short, so short that it seems like we have just started to get to know each other and we have to say goodbye. Lin You said: "Chen Xu, no one will help you hold a seat in the future." Shen Zhiwei said: "From now on, remember to eat on time." What Chen Xu did not say was: If there is a next life, can we extend our university for another lifetime?

Returning to the midsummer of seventeen when cicadas were chirping noisily, Fu Yanci returned against the clock with a lifetime of regrets that he could not let go. In his last life, he was unruly, aloof, paranoid and competitive, and his youthful spirit led to an irreversible quarrel. He personally pushed away the pure and pure Xu Zhihe who had been gentle to him throughout his youth. Since then, he has been wandering in the sea of ​​​​people, and he has been lonely year after year. He has seen thousands of scenery in the world and walked on the long and untravelled road, and then he suddenly realized that the light he lost when he was young is the tenderness that he will never find again in the rest of his life. In the endless years, longing eroded his bones and regrets haunted him. He finally exhausted all his obsessions in the long remaining life of loneliness. Fortunately, time restarts and the years go back to my youth. The sharpness and ferocity in his body had faded away, and his loneliness and coldness had faded away. In this life, Fu Yanci only had careful cherishment and paranoid tenderness in his eyes. He is no longer duplicitous, no longer young and frivolous, he just wants to do everything he can to protect her safety, treat her well, and make up for all the debts he owed in his previous life. Are we going to make the same mistake again, regret missing it again, and be separated? Or do we go in both directions, stay together year after year, and never leave each other? The evening breeze of the sycamore trees blew over the young man's shoulders. Fu Yanci stared at the girl's clear eyebrows and made a promise that would last a lifetime: "Xu Zhihe, as long as you are here, I will always be by your side."
