Yu Song by Your Left Side

[School life + secret crush + bittersweet youth + the beauty of a tragic ending]

Zuo You has a secret crush on her classmate Yu Sheng. Both their names contain a wood radical and sound alike, as if fate had decided their story long ago.

On the first day of school, their classmates jokingly paired them up as the “Yu Sheng By Your Side” couple.

The pairing caused a sensation on their fan page, its popularity soaring until it became a hot topic on campus.

Every day, Zuo You timed her arrival at the entrance to her apartment complex just right, all so she could pretend to run into him.

She was always drawn to him, her eyes following him before she even realized it.

She would also secretly write down everything about him in her diary.

Loneliness and insecurity became her labels, while sunny, cheerful Yu Sheng was like a ray of light, healing her broken heart.

Yu Sheng told her, “Then let the master heal you,” “I’ll protect you,” and “With me here, no one can bully you.”

She turned those words over and over in her mind for years.

As he saved her, he also pushed her into an abyss.

She and Yu Sheng were like parallel lines that could never intersect, able only to gaze at each other from afar in the passing years of youth.

Every day she was too afraid to confess, every moment she secretly watched him, left a mark deep in her heart.

Youth is painful. Zuo You’s secret crush was like a silent book of poetry, bearing witness to her youth and recording the years when her heart first stirred.

In the years of her youth, Yu Sheng was that unreachable dream. Though she could never touch him, he shone forever like a star in the sky.
