From school uniforms to wedding dresses, why did the old love letter in that backpack poke the hearts of millions of netizens?

  In the past, the color of the sun changed slowly,

  Cars, horses and mail are all slow,

  Only enough to love one person in a lifetime.

  Mr. Mu Xin's "Once upon a time Slow" always reminds people of the school days when they lived together with pen and ink.

  Young boys and girls write good wishes and expectations on the note, conveying the temperature that can cross the torrent of years.

  So, what about the person you liked when you were young?

  In this issue of The Last Subway, the protagonists Ako and Adai have been in love for eleven years. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, they are still around each other.

  It's good to be in another country.

  One night, Ako, who had just finished the construction of the camping group, walked into the live broadcast of the second watch.

  This post-95 Taizhou girl has been in Hangzhou for several years. Although she is in a foreign land, she has gradually found a sense of belonging.

  In her eyes, the beauty of Hangzhou is not only the West Lake, but also more different scenery in four seasons. From then on, she had the idea of staying here. Until Ako bought a house with the support of his family, like a migratory bird with nowhere to rely on, and found a livable island.

  "This city welcomes me very much, as if hugging me."

  However, when we came to her home, we found that the destination in a strange city was more because of the lover's side.

  Like many couples, Ako and Adai decided to come to the provincial capital for development after graduating from college.

  At first, they shared a loft apartment with their high school classmates. Young people with similar growth experiences have a lot in common, which is as relaxed and happy as the real version of ipartment, and she gradually builds up her familiarity and dependence here.

  On the stone displayed by Ako, there is a photo of two people. It was the fourth anniversary of love, with traces of slight wear and tear, witnessing every wandering day.

  Last March, they got a certificate and ended their eleven-year long-distance love run. Just like the feeling in the director's notes: "In this era of fast-food love, it is like astronomical figures."

  We envy Ako and Adai's unswerving determination, but we don't know that pure love for the God of War will also have practical troubles.

  When asked if they had experienced a dilemma, they revealed the inevitable dilemma of most people: on the one hand, they yearned for the big city, and on the other hand, their parents could only stay at home alone.

  Looking at his aging family, Ako often feels a little unfilial.

  Especially after grandma's death, her mother, who has always had a strong personality, used a rare gentle tone to persuade her not to go to Hangzhou, which made Ako more reluctant and confused and fell into a long struggle.

  "Actually, I am hesitant. My mother thinks I should go back to my hometown to find a stable job and stay with my parents to take care of each other."

  However, with the support of his father and the encouragement of Adai, Ako still followed the true voice in his heart: Go out and take a break!

  Now, they go home more often.

  At the same time, I look forward to returning home to support the elderly after saving a certain amount of money, and spending more time with my parents.

  Young old love letters

  "There is nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has been young, that is, when he has not become an adult, youth can drip water, and the sun is shining all over the mountains. Every morning and evening, he wants to write poetry and his heart is full of love."

  Echo and Adai, who have known each other since high school, have been in love with each other for a long time, just as St. Exupery said, so green and hazy.

  Recalling the past, many small details are vivid.

  For example, Adai has always been a delicate boy. Once she noticed that Ako was in her physiological period, she asked others to send her a cup of brown sugar water, which was unexpected and warm.

  Of course, the two people still focus on their studies and urge each other to make progress.

  Occasionally, Ako will go home to tutor Adai in English, so that when she formally meets her family as a future daughter-in-law, his parents will ridicule with understanding: "Isn't this the English teacher who taught you before?" !”

  On the eve of graduation in 2015, the class teacher organized everyone to write a letter to their future selves, and they also left their hearts to each other.

  But when Adai took out the old love letter from his backpack, everyone, including Ako, was shocked and full of drama.

  When they were young, they held a passionate and sincere heart and had no reservations about each other; Now it may seem disgusting, but it is so beautiful.

  "I'd rather be with you at the best age, maybe I'll regret it later, than regret it in the future."

  After eight years, I heard "Please Marry Me" written by myself at the end, and Ako smiled shyly, so sweet that it overflowed.

  For Dai Lai, opening this letter at different stages of life has different feelings, which always brings him an invisible power.

  Today, he describes himself as "like going back to the age of 16 or 17, still a warm-blooded teenager".

  In addition to the daily trivialities of daily necessities, Ako and Adai always maintain the spirit of curiosity and exploration and constantly embrace the unknown world.

  The first time I traveled together, I went to Changsha. The commando-style trip is exhausting, and when they walk aimlessly to the edge of Xiangjiang River, they hear the voice of street singers, accompanied by the evening breeze, and suddenly feel that life is too beautiful.

  Talking about impressive experiences is related to a bright yellow jacket. One night, Ako and Adai went for a ride by the West Lake, and it happened that the stereo randomly played the song "I want to go to the seaside", which provoked the "impulse to leave" in my heart.

  So, they temporarily decided to return to the beach they had been to.

  Starting from Hangzhou, it was three o'clock in the morning when I arrived in Ningbo. After a short sleep, I woke up and waited for the sunrise to welcome the bright future.

  Regarding love, Shen Congwen wrote: "I have traveled many roads, crossed many bridges, seen many clouds and drank many kinds of wine in my life, but I only loved a person at the right age."

  The story between Ako and Adai is the same.

  From the campus into the marriage, they quarreled hundreds of times, but they still stuck together like glue, becoming more mature and purposeful.

  A year later, Ako and Adai have probably moved into their own house, pretending to be small and beautiful in their dreams.

  Go to more distant places and continue to love each other.
