[Two male protagonists + campus + two-way redemption + ABO + bamboo horse]
Zhang Xiubai's life was unfortunate. He had no money, no one wanted him, and he had never been divided.
He lived like this for seventeen years, uneventfully, until he transferred from Weicheng No. 7 Middle School to Ningcheng No. 2 Middle School and reunited with his best friend Xu Jingyi, whom he had not seen for a long time, and everything changed.
"Xu Jingyi, I don't need you to give me money, and I don't need you to pity me." Zhang Xiubai handed the money to Xu Jingyi, his face was not pretty, he frowned slightly and stared at him.
"No, I just... Like you." Xu Jingyi looked innocent, eyes lowered, holding the corner of Zhang Xiubai's clothes.
There were many people in the corridor and they were noisy. Zhang Xiubai didn't hear clearly what Xu Jingyi said. She only saw his slightly parted lips and eyes looking down at him.
"I didn't hear clearly what you just said."
"Nothing said."
We haven't seen each other for three years, but we are still old friends.
For Zhang Xiubai, he can't ask for anything. He has low self-esteem and is introverted. He can only bear any pain by himself, so when the sun shines on him, he wants to shrink back into the darkness in the quagmire.
Zhang Xiubai tested her again and again, and Xu Jingyi said I like you every word.
The snow is falling, and spring is still far away, but with you, it is spring every day.
——
What is it that traps Xu Jingyi? It's the ten unsent letters, it's the handwritten notes he read over and over again at night even though he's not far away, it's the "I miss you" that Zhang Xiubai only said when he came back, which made Xu Jingyi cry, it's the one that dares not touch, it's the one that glances at him secretly, it's the unspeakable but well-known "I like you".
Fortunately, fortunately.
