Prologue: Wandering in a place without you

Life is too long, the sky is high and the sea is vast. Even if I love you to the fullest, you can only fall from my world like a shooting star. Wherever you are, I am just wandering.
Life is made up of meetings and farewells. Li Ziye has always understood this truth. She has become accustomed to separations. Graduating from university is just a review of the taste of parting.
Everyone drank a lot of wine at the teacher appreciation banquet. People who were staggering and unable to walk could be seen everywhere. Some people expressed their feelings under the influence of alcohol, and their eyes were filled with tears the next second.
Li Ziye was the quietest drinker. She didn't particularly like the taste of alcohol as it was too bitter and astringent, but it seemed unreasonable not to have a drink in such an occasion.
Just when she was a little dazed by the influence of alcohol, a boy stumbled over, tried to stand in front of her, scratched his hair awkwardly, and his face was red, not sure whether it was because of nervousness or because he drank too much.
Li Ziye was stunned for a moment. In fact, she didn't make many friends in her four years of college. Apart from her roommate, most of her classmates were strangers whose names and faces she recognized. She didn't remember any intersection between her and this boy...
But the boy took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, and spoke very hard, his voice still trembling, as if his tongue was about to get tied up, which was a bit funny: "Li, Li Ziye, I like you..."
Li Ziye froze, holding the bottle of wine, not knowing what to do. She was really surprised that someone confessed to her, as she had no sense of existence.
Seeing her in a daze, the boy couldn't help but add, "Li Ziye... can you be my girlfriend? I really, really like you."
There were people nearby who liked to join in the fun and booed, and many people began to incite: "Promise him! Promise him!"
But when he just let go of the bottle in his hand, showed a hasty and apologetic smile, then stood up and said, "Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."
Everyone was stunned by her reaction, only Su Li pushed away the crowd around Li Ziye, rushed to her side and tugged at the corner of her clothes: "Ziye, why are you going to the bathroom? Someone is confessing to you."
Li Ziye was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze with a hint of drunkenness: "If you confess to me, can I not go to the toilet?"
Su Li was a little speechless for a moment, but after a pause, she tugged at her arm fiercely : "Li Ziye! Do you know that you are the only girl in your class who has never been in a relationship for four years in college? Can't you give it a try when someone confesses to you? Or do you want to live alone for the rest of your life?"
Li Ziye just rubbed his aching temple and said, "But I still want to go to the toilet..."
Now Su Li was completely speechless, and the surroundings fell into a strange silence .
The boy who confessed his love probably felt that Li Ziye's reaction was really an insult to him, so after standing there awkwardly for two or three seconds, he turned around and walked stiffly to the corner to continue drinking.
Li Ziye turned around and looked at Su Li: "Can I leave now?"
Su Li couldn't persuade her, so she could only let her go to the bathroom, with a look of disappointment in her eyes. In fact, Li Ziye was pretty and her grades were not bad. Logically speaking, it was impossible for her to be single until graduation in a polytechnic school.
As a result, this girl never made eye contact with any boy until graduation. Oh, let alone making eye contact, she rarely even looked at any boy.
Of course, Li Ziye seldom joined gossip circles and didn’t know about these rumors. She just remained silent and walked into the bathroom with a heavy step.
She raised her head and glanced at herself in the mirror. She looked haggard, with bloodshot eyes, and she looked half dead.
She didn't know why, four years had passed, but the ice deep in her heart showed no sign of melting. A heavy, dull pain made her feel like even breathing hurt...
She washed her face and gave a slightly self-deprecating smile to the mirror.
——Ye Xiang, you see, I am so useless. I still can’t forget you after all these years.
I used to think that bad memories were just a rotten wound that would heal after being cut off. But I didn't expect that the wound was poisonous, and the poison spread throughout the body, and there was no way to heal it in my lifetime.
It turned out that she had spent four years, and in the end, she only proved one thing again - she still loved him. Even if someone else confessed to her, the person she could think of in her heart was him.
——It would be great if it were you, Ye Xiang.
Just as she was distracted, the phone in her shirt pocket suddenly vibrated. She came to her senses, reached out and took out her phone. After unlocking it, she saw a text message. The content was also very short, but the moment she finished reading it, she almost couldn't hold the phone steady, and her body trembled violently...
——Li Ziye, Ye Xiang and Xia Keen broke up.
In an instant, her eyes turned red. Memories that she had almost thought she had forgotten suddenly came flooding back, catching her off guard and shaking her entire chest.
——Ye Xiang, after so many years, your name is still a wound in my heart that cannot be touched.
