[Young love and secret crushes + ensemble cast + a tragic ending for everyone]
Years after graduation, Shen Xinghan happens upon a video. A girl pulls a note from a stuffed toy given to her by a boy. Curiosity gets the better of Shen Xinghan, and she decides to try it herself. To her surprise, she really does find a note.
The writing has faded a little, but it is still legible: “Shen Xinghan, sometimes I really wish you’d notice that I feel differently about you.” Those words are like a key, unlocking the chest sealed away in her heart, filled with the shadow of that boy.
Holding the yellowed note, Shen Xinghan suddenly feels her heart fill with complicated emotions.
Is it regret, nostalgia, or a glimmer of hope that has never gone out? She holds the note as if it were the tail end of her youth, wanting to grasp it, yet afraid it will slip away again.
“If only I’d noticed sooner. Too bad our story is already over,” Shen Xinghan murmurs. Her voice carries a faint tremor. She closes her eyes, and every little moment from those years plays back in her mind like a movie.
That boy was always smiling warmly. Whenever her blood sugar dropped or she was in a bad mood, he would always produce candy from his pocket.
The lemon-flavored candy colored that sweltering summer, and it colored her entire youth, too.
On the day of filling out the application form, if the heroine arrives at school successfully, the ending of the hero and heroine will not be be.
The writing is very good and I look forward to the subsequent plot. It's a pity that the male and female protagonists liked each other but ended in regret.
