[Reading notes: The little things about a secret crush + diary-style prose + school life + slow burn + low-key + open ending]
-
When her hometown is relocated, Lin Shuang finds an old diary tucked away in a drawer among a pile of old belongings. Countless private thoughts are hidden in those thin yet weighty pages:
[So many times we passed each other, and I never even knew your name.]
[Back then, I hated math most, but I studied desperately to become the class representative because I would often see you in that office.]
[When riding my bike, I always sped down that little road outside the school, afraid you'd see the flush beyond the sunset.]
[From south to north, I crossed twelve hundred kilometers just to get closer to the city where you lived.]
[The last time, all was well at dawn.]
