Liu Qiang has recently lost his shape, his complexion is haggard and yellow, and his eyes are hollow. Since the death of his girlfriend Ye Zi, he has become a walking dead.
His good buddy Dezi tried to comfort him, but he couldn’t listen to any words of comfort. He even avoided friends and family, often alone in the street where Ye Zi died at midnight. Loitering. I can’t avoid the car, I wish I could turn all the helplessness and regrets in my heart into a resentment and vent on myself…
A year ago, Liu Qiang and Ye Zi were admitted at the same time. A university and the same class.
The first time Liu Qiang met Ye Zi, it was during the first class. She was late and sat beside him. Liu Qiang turned his head to look, only to feel that her eyes lit up, her white face was set with a pair of bright big eyes, and she looked at him with a smile. He flushed for no reason and smiled back.
Then she whispered: “You are late.”
The girl stretched her tongue out, looking naughty and cute. Since then, Liu Qiang’s eyes have been chasing this girl and he learned that she has a beautiful and poetic name called Ye Zi. She knows that her academic performance is very good, and she is clever and smart. The tutor once praised Ye Zi in public and joked. She is a chivalrous girl with both civil and military skills and never knows exhaustion in her studies.
But Liu Qiang’s academic performance is average. He often sits silently in a seat not far from her. Apart from notes, he drew Ye Zi’s expression on the paper and smiled. Under his pen.
Once inadvertently, Ye Zi knew that Liu Qiang was good at drawing. It was still early in class that day, and Liu Qiang came to the class early and sat at the end, not knowing when Ye Zi arrived. Quietly lying behind him, watching him draw a face carefully, like her. She snatched it over and said loudly: “Liu Qiang…you draw me?” Her voice attracted a lot of attention.
Liu Qiang blushed and wanted to get back the painting. He was even more nervous, afraid that Ye Zi would be annoyed.
Ye Zi smiled, and whispered in his ear: “Do you like me?”
Liu Qiang’s face turned redder , Neither nodding nor shaking his head, some students snickered at them long ago.
Just when he was embarrassed, Ye Zi blinked and said, “Will you have a chance to draw a full body portrait for me?”
Liu Qiang nodded immediately, and saw Ye Zi jump out of the class with his painting. He just sat back on the seat as if collapsed, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, feeling a bit of joy in his nervousness.

On weekends, without class, Liu Qiang was lying on the bed in the dormitory. Suddenly he heard the doorman call his name, he lazily jumped out of bed and went out. Outside the door of the man’s bed, Ye Zi stood outside facing the sun, his sleeves moved with the wind like a fairy, heI was dumbfounded, if Ye Zi chuckled out of laughter, he would have thought it was a dream.
Ye Zi came to him to paint a portrait that day, and of course he happily agreed. The two came to the small woods in the backyard of the school. At the end of the woods, there was a fountain that was really beautiful. She was sitting next to the fountain and asked him to paint.
He was holding a paintbrush, and while looking at her, he drew on the paper attentively. Every stroke seemed to be in his heart.
After that day, the relationship between the two of them has become much closer. In other words, Ye Zi always came to Liu Qiang and took the initiative to grab his hand when there was no one. Her hands were delicate and soft, and Liu Qiang never wanted to let go as soon as she held it on. The emotion of the two is self-evident. But they dare not open their relationship, after all, this is a school and dating is not allowed.
During their sophomore year, the two lived together quietly. Because the relationship was too close, their relationship was discovered by Ye Zi’s parents. Ye Zi’s parents strongly opposed their staying together, one of the reasons was that they were still in school, and the other was that Liu Qiang’s family was in the countryside.
Due to the pressure of Ye Zi’s parents, it is temporarily inconvenient for the two to meet outside of school. Even if they meet at school, Liu Qiang will walk away silently. This is his pride . Ye Zi lost weight, and Liu Qiang’s face basically lost his smile. The two are like two roosters that have failed in a fight, and they can no longer bring up the spirit of fighting for life.

Seeing their depression day by day, Dezi took Liu Qiang to relax, and met a fortune-teller on the road. In boredom, the two squatted on the side of the road to let the husband show the marriage.
Mr. Liu Qiang asked Liu Qiang to write a word.
He wrote the word “love” by hand.
The gentleman looked at it and said, “One horizontal separates one’s heart…Look literally you…recently lost in love, two verticals mean that your relationship is like two parallel lines that can never meet. Another explanation is that one of you will soon be alive. There is still a heart in the world. It means that you two are one mind, and you will meet again by chance…”
Liu Qiang listened very much. Uncomfortable, he said that he was very accurate when he fell in love, and he would be suspicious of the rest, especially that one of them would be dead soon, which made him disgusted, so he threw down ten dollars and took Dezi away.
Along the way, Tokuko saw him with a gloomy face and persuaded him: “Fortune tellers just look at his face and talk nonsense, which is so accurate. Look at your face. Don’t count. I knew it was a broken relationship.”
After returning that day, Ye Zi’s sad news came. She was in a car accident on the way home, and people were not saved on the spot.
Liu Qiang jumped up on the chair after hearing the bad news, and stared out blankly. His face was pale, his body was cold, his limbs were weak, his heart was like a needle, and he was overwhelmed with sadness. Liu Qiang often at nightWandering on the way to Ye Zi’s accident.
One midnight, no moon. The wind sounded like weeping, making people cry. At this moment, Liu Qiang heard the call for help and turned his head to look. Seeing a woman being dragged into Xiaogang, he dashed away, ignoring his own life and desperately fighting the gangster. In the fierce fight, the gangster’s knife stabbed him, and the woman exclaimed and threw herself on him, taking care of him. After this fatal fall, blood shed all over the ground, and the gangster was frightened and abandoned his knife and fled. Liu Qiang didn’t care about chasing the criminals, so he called for an ambulance. After the phone call, he put down the woman and quietly ran back to school. He didn’t want to be a hero or people, so he didn’t send the woman to the hospital.
Soon the school transferred a new student, a beautiful girl named Zi Xuan. She often sits next to Liu Qiang and smiles at him as if she has a good impression of him. Liu Qiang was very disgusted. He couldn’t accept it except Ye Zi.
One day, Zi Xuan sat next to Liu Qiang again, constantly drawing his portrait on the paper. Liu Qiang whispered: “Don’t waste time, pay attention to others! My heart is dead.”
Zi Xuan smiled and said, “I’m here for you. Remember that you saved a girl one night?”
Liu Qiang was startled, then slowly shook his head and said, “You admitted the wrong person.”
After listening, Zi Xuan chuckled and stretched her tongue out, she looked very much like Ye Zi. Liu Qiang looked in a daze, tears shed in his eyes.
