After the 2009 college entrance examination ended, Gu Yining confessed her feelings to her teacher, Ji Huaqing.
The ten-year age gap between them made Ji Huaqing turn her down.
The very next day, Ji Huaqing boarded a plane to flee Jing City. No one could have expected that the plane would lose contact, and that everyone aboard would be declared dead.
Fifteen years later, that plane touched down—and everyone on it looked exactly as they had fifteen years ago.
Caught in a fold of spacetime, Ji Huaqing could not find her parents. She could only remember one number: Gu Yining’s. When the call connected, Gu Yining came to her.
Before boarding that plane, Gu Yining had been an eighteen-year-old youth. When they met again, she was dressed in a red gown, elegant and graceful.
And in this meeting, Gu Yining was thirty-three years old.
Ji Huaqing remained twenty-eight.
The ten-year difference had become a five-year difference—except now, Gu Yining was the one who was five years older.
After the plane vanished, Ji Huaqing’s parents had withered away from grief. She had lost her family, so Gu Yining took her home.
In the fifteen years that had folded away, Gu Yining had grown from an immature high school student into a successful woman everyone pursued and admired.
She even had a daughter.
When Ji Huaqing saw that daughter, she smiled faintly. Fifteen years had passed, and everything had changed; things were no longer the same.
The confession that had tumbled from her lips “yesterday” now seemed like a joke—one that had driven Ji Huaqing to flee, and in the end, left her battered and scarred.
***
After the plane went missing, Gu Yining fell apart.
She waited for fifteen years. Just as she was teetering on the edge of collapse, she came back.
Her Ji Huaqing had returned.
Her Ji Huaqing remained frozen at the age of twenty-eight.
