A youthful campus story of unrequited love with a bittersweet ending. Any resemblance to other works is purely coincidental. The writing is at an elementary-school level; I wrote this simply as a keepsake and to give this unrequited love a perfect conclusion. (Based on a true story. Please be kind if it's not to your taste, thank you.)
[Tang Meng x Ye Sheng]
“I dreamed of spring grass by the pond, but the plane leaves before the steps already sound of autumn.”
“Ye Sheng, if I were as outgoing and brave as she is, would you ever turn around and look at me?”
Tang Meng and Ye Sheng met on a campus shaded by paulownia trees, and at last, he confessed his feelings to her. That day, for the first time, I saw him gaze at a girl's face with such tenderness.
A young girl's secret was buried beneath a paulownia tree, and under that same tree, she witnessed his happiness.
[Song Huan x Zhu Xu]
Song Huan liked Zhu Xu, but it seemed she was the only one who knew. She thought that her affection and attempts to express it were obvious enough to earn a response. But he was Zhu Xu, and he had no shortage of admirers around him. He overlooked Song Huan's cautious affection, and the two of them missed their chance...
She knew he was like a dazzling sun, impossible to reach, but she still couldn't help liking him. She never regretted it, because loving him seemed like something she simply couldn't avoid.
