We Are on This Shore, Talking About the Sea at That Time

The summer when I was seventeen was long and humid, and the rain fell on the sycamore trees in the evening. Wen Xi was most afraid of getting wet in the rain, but Yan Chi always stayed calm and protected her from the wind and rain. It was a secret love that no one knew about, an unspoken heartbeat hidden in the test papers, corridors, and night breeze. A graduation and a sea of ​​people dispersed. The young man's thoughts were stranded in midsummer. From then on, the mountains and rivers did not meet each other, and they were separated for many years. When we met again, it was already a workplace in Shanghai, an office building with people coming and going. After seven years, Wen Xi met Yan Chi again. He has lost his youthfulness and become calm, gentle, decent and restrained. The adult world pays attention to propriety, distance and decency. They were polite, distant, and pretended to be unfamiliar, but in countless moments, they secretly reproduced the throbbing of youth. Old friends are reunited and old friends are reunited. Those misunderstandings that were not solved, the unclarified feelings, and the farewells that were not made in time, They all slowly fell into place in the day after day of reunions and pulls. It turns out that some people, across several years, It is still the only sea and the only heartbeat in this life.
