Female college students have been guarding their bodies for 20 years, just to make their favorite boys. Seeing her best side, but the boy dislikes her for being plain-looking and just wants to be friends with her for life. To prove that they really are pure friendship, Nick proposes a strange engagement. Every year on July 15, no matter where the two of them are, they must find time to meet each other. Ella, who is in love with the brain, even thought that they would be in love for a long time like in the movie.
But every time they meet Nick, he is polite to her, because the handsome and golden Nick never lacks beautiful suitors around him, and he will not look at an ordinary girl like her. Gradually, Ella lost faith in Nick. She decided to put aside her feelings for a while and go to London to pursue her dream of becoming a writer, where she also hopes to find a new life and a new self.
After Ella left, Nick also completely let go of himself and immersed himself in this bright and green life all day, while Ella's life fell into confusion. Since she came to London, she has found that the competition here is too cruel, she has no advantages or opportunities, and her original dreams have been destroyed.
In order to make ends meet, she had to work as a waitress in a restaurant. Endure unreasonable demands from guests and harsh accusations from bosses every day. Her clothes were always stained with oil and dirt, and she had completely lost herself, just mechanically repeating the same work. She couldn't stand it that day, so she dialed Nick's phone, wanting to get back a little of the warmth she had had.
But Nick was very indifferent to her, just said a few insignificant words, and hung up in a hurry. Nick didn't hear Ella's final words: I missed you.
Fast forward to July 15 of the following year, when Ella has not yet found her purpose in life, and Nick has already mixed up. Her hosting level is far ahead of all peers, so she is also highly sought after by the majority of male compatriots.
When the two meet again, it feels like there is an insurmountable gap between them. In the process of communication, Ella always feels that she is not worthy of Nick, and she seems particularly restrained and distant in front of him. But her careful thinking could not hide Nick, who read countless people, and directly hugged her tightly in his arms. Comfort her softly, saying that you have unmatched talent, don't give up your dreams easily.
Nick's care for Ella is not out of love, but as her closest friend.
In order to relax Ella's tense nerves, Nick took her to the resort by the sea. Until now, Nick is still adamant that they are only pure friendship, so they did not shy away from suspicion and only opened a room.
The next day, the two went to the beach to sunbathe together. Nick takes the initiative to help Ella apply sunscreen, and their intimate behavior is mistaken for lovers. Ella's face couldn't help but smile, they enjoyed the sun together, played and laughed together in the room, and talked about life together in the bar.
Under the influence of alcohol, Ella confesses her love for Nick, but Nick shows no emotion, but only responds to her with a frivolous attitude.
The sky was getting dark, and the sea was glowing with golden light. The two walked along the beach, the quiet sea breeze, blowing the slightly drunk two. Drunk, Nick suddenly jumped into the water. The hesitant Ella also jumped at his instigation. The two laughed and played in the water, but Nick's gaze gradually became affectionate. He also said the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time.
It wasn't until this moment that Ella finally realized that she and Nick were originally people from two different worlds. She is like a diligent fisherman, not interested in the wonderful world outside, only cares about the light on the shore. And Nick is like a thrill-seeking adventurer, full of yearning for the boundless ocean. But even the most powerful adventurer will be powerless that day, Nick has been living a life of drunken gold for a long time, which has caused his mental state to deteriorate more and more.
This year, my mother was seriously ill and her life was coming to an end. Mothers' expectations of their sons have long been disappointed. She hopes that Nick will rehabilitate and find a girl as gentle and kind as Ella. Live a normal life ever since. His father also lost patience with him, confiscating his car and freezing his bank cards.
If you dare to see your mother with this virtue in the future, you don't even want to enter the gate, and leave now.
Nick felt the first failure of his life, and his heart was filled with unspeakable pain. Then he dialed Ella's phone. But everything is already irretrievable.
Ella is tired of Nick's hot and cold treatment of her, and she chooses to pursue her Ian all the time. Although Ian is not handsome or wealthy, Ella believes that he can give her a peaceful and stable life.
In the blink of an eye, it was July 15, a year later, and Ella and Ian were already living together. Although their relationship does not have much passion, it is indeed stable, and Nick has fallen into the bottom of his life. His mother died during the year, he was fired from TV for his long-term alcoholism, and the only thing that could make him feel a trace of warmth was comfort from Ella.
But during the meal, Ella found that Nick's body had problems, he ran to the toilet frequently, and mocked Ella's work in a mocking tone, Ella could not stand such an insult, and left the restaurant angrily. Nick chased out to apologize, but it inspired the resentment that had accumulated in Ella's heart for a long time.
I haven't seen you sober for three years, go to the toilet every ten minutes, either an addict or diarrhea. Either way it's boring, you're wasting your life, sober up Nick.
Ella cries about her misfortune, living with someone she doesn't love, toiling over chores, she feels like a prisoner trapped in a cage, and Nick is no longer like this. Before parting, Ella hugged Nick tightly, tears running down his cheeks. I love you, Nick loves you very much, it's just that I can't love you anymore.
Nick was stunned when he heard this, maybe he hadn't been able to understand the meaning of this I love you, or maybe he was equally unwilling to Ella, but missing is missing out. For the next four years, they never contacted each other again.
