Scene One:
Shi Tian took Liang Panpan’s hand and interlaced their fingers. “I work so hard and take my job and side hustle seriously because I want to be worthy of the girl who’s always been in my heart, if I ever get the chance. I know she likes boys who work hard and take things seriously.”
Tears streamed down Liang Panpan’s face. She had never known that someone could love her so sincerely for so many years.
At that moment, Liang Panpan felt healed, because she had become someone’s hope, too.
Scene Two:
Suppressing the faint ache in her heart, Liang Panpan asked as if it were just a casual question, “Shi Tian, can you tell Liang Pan and me apart?”
Shi Tian paused his work, walked over, and positioned Liang Panpan himself. “Sometimes, when I watch you type, like right now, I feel as if I’ve gone back to our second year of high school. I’m secretly watching you work through problems, wondering if Liang Pan will look like this when she grows up, finally able to spend every day studying her own writing. So you’re one and the same.”
