Liu Siqian's time fell on Zhou Wan's head by accident, leaving an indelible mark on Zhou Wan's heart.
Guangying counted the wrinkles in his school uniform next week, and Ye Nanfeng counted the curvature of her hair.
They shared the sweetness of mint candies and drew a parabola in the same coordinate system on the draft paper for evening self-study, but they never said the answer they were waiting for. Until one night during the rainy self-study, Zhou Wan used a red pen to draw the 62nd circle on the countdown calendar; "Sitting together, we have a bright future."
The gears of the countdown to the college entrance examination crushed all ambiguities. When Zhou Wan was writing function formulas on the math test paper, Ye Nanfeng and Liu Siqian were sharing the same pair of headphones. The Mayday song in the headphones was accompanied by the sound of the page turning of the test paper, leaving a strong mark on the youth of the three people. She watched as Liu Siqian's thermos cup appeared in the upper right corner of his desk, and watched as the calendar with the words "The Day is Long" was swept into the wastebasket by the wind.
She watched with her own eyes her own shadow and Ye Nanfeng's, and Liu Siqian's shadow growing into thorns in the sunset.
Now they are still watching cherry blossoms in the same city, but the silver ring on Liu Siqian's middle finger still hurts Zhou Wan.
