The One I Love Is in the South

Indeed, life is not a novel. There is no Yu Huai in high school, no great master Xiao Nai in college, and even He Yichen after graduation. However, for Su Miao, having Ji Bei in her youth is enough. The boy who cried with her, laughed and made trouble with her during the three years of high school, was still nice to her even if he knew she had Chen Luo in her heart. She once thought she was in love with Chen Luo, but later she realized that she had been chasing him forward and ignored him who was following him silently behind her. When she finally woke up, she realized it was too late. She wondered if she had made him wait too long. Thinking of Ji Bei, even if I went to the north to study at university, I would never forget him. Just like an old book sitting in an old house, even if it has not been read, it still exists, and every time I recall it, I always have mixed feelings in my heart. In the days after graduating from high school, Su Miao didn't know who owed Ji Bei to whom. It was like walking into a maze, going around in circles, and missing him again and again at the intersection. I still remember that when she was filling out her application form in her senior year of high school, she asked him: "Ji Bei, do you choose to apply for one from outside the province or within the province?" Su Miao's long eyelashes fluttered with uncontrollable anticipation. "Stay within the province. I probably won't go outside the province." "Oh, in this case, the province is quite good. It's close to home and convenient." Su Miao pretended to be relaxed, and no one saw the momentary disappointment in her eyes. Later, she really went to the north, drifted away from the boy named Ji Bei, and found a new life and new friends. As she said before, he stayed in the south. It seemed that this was the end. The two had no intersection from then on. Su Miao thought so for a time, until they met during the winter vacation, something seemed different.
