Yu Xia recalls the breakup.
She actually seldom thinks of the ending, and more often reminisces about the ambiguity and joy of their encounter and relationship.
The elation and confusion brought by career advancement made her restless and uneasy. On a dull summer evening, walking with a stifling mask and hat through the throng, she collided with a group of high school students.
Then, raising her head, she saw across the road a young man who drove away the summer boredom.
Expecting a sweet dessert, who knew it was spiked liquor with ice that intoxicated her.
What a beautiful encounter.
