When she was seventeen, Ning Jia was sent to Moon Bay to live alone.
On the first day she transferred to another school, she noticed the boy in the back row who never zipped his school uniform.
He would throw an umbrella into her arms on rainy nights, and he would find her afraid of the dark in the corridor where there was a power outage.
But he would also back away when she came close, and look away when she looked over.
Ning Jia thought that he probably didn't like her.
But how to explain those band-aids, warm babies, and lychee candies hidden in the "by the way"?
Fortunately, my senior year in high school didn't just have this unexplainable worry.
Her deskmate would drag her to grab the sausages from the canteen, and the table in front of her would print out three copies of her notes and give them to everyone. The wontons at the alleyway snack bar would always taste the same.
The six of them worked on the questions together, took a long way home together, and sang together at the New Year's Day party.
They share the most ordinary and hottest youth.
Until the boy who always took care of everyone never came back after a certain day.
His last words to everyone were: "Wait for me in Nanchuan."
None of them said anything about their heartbeat when they were eighteen years old.
The farewell at the age of eighteen came earlier than anyone else.
