Los Angeles at the end of April, the sky is clear and the sun is shining.

In the Novel coffee shop in the waterfront area of Santa Monica, a pair of young Asian men and women sit looking at each other, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful - she has a melon seed face, a high nose bridge, slightly deep eye sockets, long eyelashes, and a long dark brown curly hair tied casually, diagonally tied on a white canvas vest skirt, just like a little Elizabeth Taylor-like fresh and refined charm. It's a pity that at this time, this handsome little face is pale - bloodless pale white.

"Beautiful Shuxian, you are the most beautiful, lovely, lovely girl I have ever met. Since I first met you, I immediately fell into the abyss of love, and my heart has already belonged to you. Please give me a chance to protect you, love you, make you happy, as long as I see you laughing in front of me, I am willing to go up the sword mountain, go down to the sea of fire, and do anything for you......"

“stop！！！——”

Seeing the red rash on her arm that was getting worse one after another—the girl called Shuxian screamed uncontrollably, startling the big boy in front of her, who was almost 1.90 meters—"Harry, if you're really willing to do anything for me, please go away before I finish counting three seconds, or else—I'm going to flip the table—" The girl gritted her teeth as she squeezed the words out of her throat, cold sweat breaking out on her forehead.

"But...... ......The boy named Harry had a puzzled look on his face, but he began to notice the red marks on the girl's white arms and neck, and he couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"Three-two-one!" Jin Shuxian counted down three times, and a small round table covered with a pink and white checkered tablecloth in front of her was forcefully flipped to the ground, along with the warm table flowers, romantic tea sets, and iPhones belonging to boys.

By the time all the audience and the poor man named Harry reacted from their horrors, the "Shuxian" had disappeared like a gust of wind.

rushed to the bathroom in one go, Jin Shuxian buried almost half of her body in the kitchen table, and vomited loudly......

"Oh my God......" After spitting up all the boiled water she had drunk in the morning and afternoon, she felt a burst of collapse and sat on the marble floor next to the displacer's platform, once again feeling deep despair about her "ultimate love terminality".

"Ultimate Terminal Love Illness" - this trendy new word comes from the definition of friends Lu Lingyin and Lan Xinzi -

"Others' so-called 'love phobia' is at most sad and chaotic, there are always a few days a month, and the past will always pass. You're suffering from a disease, it's definitely a disease! It's so painful and unheard of -- how can you be sick from the inside out when you hear a boy's sweet words? You're still dizzy? You're vomiting? You're even covered with a rash? This is a disease, it's definitely a disease! If you drag it on, you're about to become a terminal illness, so you should go to the doctor quickly, and you must see a famous doctor. Two years ago, in a corner of the Sculpture Time Cafe next to Beijing's Financial Street, three girls in their 24s got together to say goodbye to each other, and in the middle of that, Lu Lingyin categorically defined Jin Shuxian's grotesque behavior, her straight black hair swaying rhythmically along the delicate earlobes with a jumping voice.

"Oh, you're a worrying kid. Lan Xinzi touched Shuxian's fluffy curls, curled a calm bass, and said, "This kind of 'love phobia' is really fresh, I think, this is the so-called 'ultimate love terminal disease', right?"

At that time, Jin Shuxian was holding her cheeks like this, with a stubborn look of "how do you love it", but there was a deep emotional wound in her heart - after all, just a month ago, her boyfriend, oh! no - her ex-boyfriend, Lin Yongjun, held a grand wedding at the Pangu Seven Star Hotel-

Flower balls and arches made of purple and white perfume lilies covered the wedding scene, which was Jin Shuxian's favorite flower, countless white roses on both sides of the red carpet paved a landscape, this picture appeared countless times in her dream wedding scene, and the man who had been in love with her for four years and had made countless vows took another woman's hand on the red carpet and made a vow of life and death. You know, four or five months ago, Lin Yongjun and Kim Shuxian were still talking about marriage, until one day, overnight, this man disappeared without a trace...... The only part of this whole incident that Shuxian can understand is about the bride, that is, a young and beautiful rich daughter.

On the day of the wedding, it was not the first time Kim Shuxian had seen the bride.

One day, three months before the wedding, Ms. Kim met the second lady of the famous Yu's jewelry group — in the "Shuxiang Mendi" wedding dress studio where she and her friend Min Xiang were located.

"Can you make me a wedding dress? I saw your introduction and work in this magazine, and I really like your 'rhyme' series. Of all the emerging Chinese designers, my favorite at the moment is your work. I want the perfect wedding dress, and I believe that only you can make the one of my dreams. As for the price, I can afford to pay for the bid you make. Although the taste of capital in her tone made Shuxian frown, the petite and delicate woman in front of her still left a good impression on her. Jin Shuxian has always had little resistance to the same sex who is as gentle as water, not to mention that this one is gentle enough from appearance to voice to name, her name is Yu Wanyin.

"No problem. Shuxian smiled and took the magazine in the hands of the gold owner, and also took the list - unexpectedly, this will be the last case of the design of the wedding dress in her life so far...... It turned out to be a wedding dress for her ex-boyfriend's bride-

Buried in the flying design drawings for three days and three nights, and then material selection, washing, printing and dyeing, cutting, embroidery, bead embroidery, appliqué ...... After a month of busy production, a wedding dress with a Victorian court style can be considered completed. This wedding dress breaks Shuxian's usual style of simple and avant-garde alternative, or Chinese detailism, adopts French three-dimensional tailoring, combines a large number of traditional techniques, and is meticulously crafted, which can be regarded as a personal skill improvement and breakthrough.

On the day of the fitting, when Miss Yu Er walked out of the fitting room, she instantly turned into a princess in a European mural, or a Victorian collection of Barbie dolls, which was exquisitely incomparable. The tight waistline shows the perfect figure, and the bare white shoulders and the cascading but not complicated fishtail design all set off the elegant temperament of the owner. For this wedding dress, Yu Wanyin was very satisfied.

So, on the day of delivery, Miss Yu handed Jin Shuxian a wedding invitation, on which there were a few big characters with gold hot edges - printed with the groom's name - Lin Yongjun.

It's ironic enough, I didn't even bother to write such a bloody plot in the three popular novels, and it really happened to me?—— with an unbelievable mood, Shuxian went to the wedding scene that was extremely luxurious, full of flowers and blessings, and witnessed Lin Yongjun and Yu Wanyin kissing, hugging, and falling in love for life......

On that day, Jin Shuxian drank the most spirits in her life, vomited a lot, and got drunk until dawn. As if, the moment she put on the wedding dress for her ex-boyfriend's bride, she also put on the monk's robe, and since then, Shuxian has inexplicably suffered from the "ultimate terminal love disease" - once she notices that a man has ambiguous feelings for her, she immediately has a sense of disgust from all levels of physical to psychological. Moreover, hearing the man's sweet words can cause dizziness and nausea, or red rashes all over the body, accompanied by vomiting and other symptoms, which is simply tragic.

Subsequently, the symptoms of broken love, which were more tragic than the terrorist attack, continued to spread, and Kim Shuxian withdrew from the "Shuxiang Mendi" wedding dress studio. This studio is the joint effort of her college classmate Min Xiang, and it took more than two years of hard work to make a name for herself in the wedding dress customization industry in Beijing...... At that moment, he couldn't continue because of the collapse of his heart. In addition, after four years of continuous competition, non-stop work and design at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, the rookie designer and other names established by this were all abandoned, Jin Shuxian retired from the field of wedding dress design overnight, and then, spent three months and most of her savings in exchange for the qualification to study the master's program of interaction design at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles and a U.S. visa. Previously, she had dreamed of studying at Parsons School of Design in New York, but now the idea of changing overnight was not just a change of flight path to east or west, but the ideal direction. To this day, every time she sees the landmarks of New York and Los Angeles on the map, the distance of 3,557 kilometers will pull a broken silver bell deep in her heart, and make her heart buzz.

Continue to think about it, saying goodbye to two best friends, Lu Lingyin and Lan Xinzi, happened in the corner of the Sculpture Time Cafe in May of that year.

At that time, in the early summer of the passing year, it was like a plane transfer station for the three of them, not only Shuxian, but also the lives of the two friends had changed dramatically, and fate sent them to different cities. "Ami" Lu Lingyin went to Shanghai with all her belongings and vowed to become a rich woman. "Ah Hua" Lan Xinzi quietly ascended the Tibetan Plateau, and since then, she has never been heard of returning to Beijing. And her "Ah Bang" Jin Shuxian flew to the City of Angels on the other side of the ocean in the name of studying abroad and began to live alone.

In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Slumped on the marble floor of the toilet, the uncomfortable feeling of churning in Kim Shuxian's stomach brought her memories back to the damn bloody plot of two years ago over and over again, and her feelings became more and more depressed.

Today, the physiological negative reaction was obviously beyond her expectations, and the established plan should not have been like this-

Harry is an alumnus of Shuxian at Southern California State University, studying in the MBA program, he grew up in the United States, tall and handsome, rumored to have hundreds of millions of assets in his family, but his personality is humble and polite, and he is a well-known star-level Chinese handsome guy in the school. The two met at a dinner party after the Spring Festival party held during the school year, and the unfortunate beginning came from Harry's love at first sight at the thousandth of a second when he entered the door - the moment he saw Jin Shuxian. Regardless of Jin Shuxian's eating appearance at that time, Harry stepped forward and took the initiative to talk, and after introducing himself, he quickly confessed to her in that non-standard Mandarin: "I knew you were my juice from the first time I saw you, and I believe I will also be the juice you like!"

Needless to say, these sensual words made Shuxian's strange illness immediately start, and a chill swept through her like a gust of wind, and she threw down the sentence: "I never drink juice! never drink juice!!"—and ran to the bathroom to vomit. Since then, that harry has appeared from time to time like a ghost, sending flowers, sending love letters and emails, and asking friends to come and say good things, which made Jin Shuxian vomit and vomit, and she lost ten pounds in three months.

Thinking that this matter must be decided today, Shuxian finally asked Harry out for the final negotiation after several psychological struggles. She planned that the best case scenario would naturally be for the two of them to become ordinary friends or alumni, so that this master full of honey would never be numb to herself in the future, and the worst case would be strangers...... Who knows, Xiao Nizi once again fell ill uncontrollably and smashed the field gorgeously.

Hey, now it's completely regarded as a bell tower weirdo. Jin Shuxian sighed in her heart.

Two years, this not a short period of time has passed, and her "ultimate love terminal illness" has not only not improved in the slightest, but has become more and more strict.

Was it because of that sad email this morning?

As the semester draws to a close, Shuxian is finishing up her graduate program with Lilia, who is in the same class, and needs to email Guò every morning to keep up with the latest progress and communicate with each other. And, according to the school's requirements, she needs to submit her resume everywhere to look for internship opportunities, although so far she has found nothing and is in a state of anticipation. So, this morning, the first thing I do when I wake up is still to send and receive emails on the Internet. Open the inbox, there are six highlighted unread email headers lying in gmail, a full five spam emails sent by various portals, just looking at the headlines is enough to throw them into the trash, and the remaining one is not from Lilia, but from Lu Lingyin, who has not been contacted for a long time.

opened Lingyin's email, Shuxian's heart instantly cooled, and then, like an overturned five-flavor bottle, began to churn with an indescribable taste-

Shuxian:

Because the company was sent back to Beijing for a week, I learned the news of Minxiang's illness. She has blood cancer, and she has reached a very strict stage.

I went to Peking University People's Hospital to visit Minxiang last night, and her emaciated appearance was really distressing. I learned from chatting with her that you haven't been in touch for two years, and Minxiang has been thinking about you, and talked to me about many things when I was working with you in the wedding dress design studio, which are all small things, and she still remembers them. During this period, she kept repeating how she admired your design talent, and thought that it was a pity for you to give up back then. Later, when she learned that we would still be in contact occasionally, she asked me to tell you that she was going to transfer the ownership of the "Sook Xiang Mendi" studio to you. This is the brand studio you co-founded back then, and she has been fighting for it for the two years you gave up, and now, she has no ability to continue, and it should be handed over to you. It's Minhka's decision and her hope, and it's great if you can accept it and come back to everyone.

Two years ago, you and I were in too much of a hurry when we parted ways, and I had a lot to say to you that I hadn't said enough. In the past two years, we have gone our separate ways, but I believe that we will finally be back together.

PS: I sincerely hope that your love phobia has been cured.

Love you: Suzune

For Minxiang, Shuxian has always had a lot of guilt. In the four years of college, they are not only classmates but also golden partners for ten thousand years-

I remember that at the entrance ceremony of the freshman year, the belated Min Xiang squeezed to Shuxian, who was standing in the last row, glanced at her, and asked, "You are the champion beauty of our year, right? Are you Jin Shuxian?"

"I'm Kim Shuxian...... Do we know each other?" Shuxian was a little surprised. As far back as she could remember, she had never seen this medium-sized, clean-looking girl.

"We didn't know each other before, but now we do. Min Xiang smiled as warm as the sun, "Of all the freshmen, you are the most beautiful one, and you have the aura that jumps into sight at once." I heard rumors early in the morning that the top students who were admitted with the highest scores in this class are also the most beautiful girls. I don't think it's you. She held out her hand, "It's nice to meet you, and I will ask for more advice in the future." ”

Shuxian was a little embarrassed by what she said, and politely stretched out her hand: "Well, please give me more advice in the future." ”

Since that day, Min Xiang has become Jin Shuxian's closest friend at the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology.

They have the same fanatical preference for haute couture, especially wedding dresses. They both admire Katsura's romantic and pure style, love the European glamour of Pronovias, and hope to be the next Verawang to create a Zào miracle, and hope to one day design a wedding dress that shocks the world – just like the one that Sarah Barton, Creative Director of Alexander McQueen, made for Princess Kate's British royal wedding.

So, they always discuss fashion, design and creation, and study cutting, fabrics, processing, ...... Participated in the competition together, and began to plan the formation of the "Shuxiang Mendi" studio in his junior year.

The creation of the studio did not go smoothly in the beginning. Min Xiang was born into a small family in Ya'an County, Sichuan Province, and has a total of four siblings. She is the eldest, the eldest sister is in her third year of high school, and the youngest brother is only nine years old, and they will need too much education funds in the future, so it is naturally impossible for the family to provide her with any support. And Shuxian's family background can only be said to be middle-class, not a wealthy family. The only valuable thing in the family is a large mansion left by the ancestors, which was almost donated to the country as an ancient building by his father, who is a history professor and his mother, who is a surgeon. It is not easy and unreliable to understand her family, and Shuxian has a natural backbone, she does not want to and does not want to reach out to her family to ask for money. Not to mention, Min Xiang, who also has a stubborn factor in her character, is absolutely impossible to accept Shuxian's unilateral expenditure. So, the two girls fought so hard. They look for part-time jobs, take on all kinds of outsourcing orders, and participate in all the relevant competitions...... Working three jobs a day became the norm, and they only slept four hours a day for three months because they believed that life would reward those who put in the effort, and that was exactly what happened. In the International Rookie Cup Wedding Dress Design Competition, Jin Shuxian and Min Xiang won the gold medal with a set of elegant and brilliant "rhyme" series that combines Chinese and Western design details. This wedding dress not only appeared on the focus page of various fashion magazines, but was also bought by a large domestic wedding dress company at a high price. Before graduating, the two became industry rookies and were noticed as the result of hard work and luck, and it is also the best evidence that verifies the perfect partnership between the two. Finally, through more than a year of hard work, Shuxian and Minxiang saved up a start-up fund of 300,000 yuan, and justifiably unveiled the cards for the "Shuxiang Mendi" wedding dress studio.

From the beginning, there were only two personal studios, Shuxian and Minxiang, to a team of six people with two assistants each, it took a whole year. This year has had hardships and gains, and all of them are developing in a positive direction. So much so that when Shuxian proposed to quit the studio, Min Xiang immediately expressed a completely incomprehensible attitude.

Min Xiang was so angry—

She yelled at Shuxian, swept all the items on her work table to the ground, scolded her for being selfish and blamed her for being willful, but finally returned all the assets that Shuxian owned in the studio to her and set her free.

Kim will always remember that day, when Minxiang had vented all her anger, the two girls hugged their heads in the studio and cried all night.

"Dead girl, no matter what, you must be happy. This is the last sentence that Min Xiang left her in Shuxian's memory-

Thinking of this, Jin Shuxian's eyes moistened......

Such a kind Minxiang, such a strong Minxiang, such a kind Minxiang, such a kind Minxiang, the Minxiang who once struggled together is suffering from illness...... And her only wish, how can I, Jin Shuxian, live up to it?
