The cute ice cube cat with a cold face x the sun dog with a hot face and a mean face
Mo Yuan and Lu Qing once shared a popsicle and tore up each other's homework. They were "natural enemies" from being spanked to university. They were locked in a classroom on a rainy night because of a bridge design assignment that was faked as a project organized by the physics teaching team.
"My node calculation was wrong, and I gained muscles all in vain."
"Your model is unrealistic. Formulas cannot save fragile materials."
However, as the blackout of power consumes the last source of light, some barriers stronger than bridges begin to dissolve.
In the dim light of the mobile phone, Lu Qing saw Mo Yuan's worn fingers from whittling the bridge piers - that was his medal yesterday, and also the clumsy tenderness at this moment. Mo Yuan read from Lu Qing's meticulous calculation drafts his devotion to "elegant structure".
"The reason why the arch bridge is strong," Mo Yuan played with the unfinished bridge body, "is because it converts pressure into downward thrust. Sometimes, it is smarter to accept heavy pressure than to bear it."
Lu Qing's pen tip stopped on the paper: "But you didn't calculate the horizontal thrust. Excessive lateral force will cause the most beautiful arch to collapse from its weakest point."
The attention that had been concealed in the quarrel between structure and strength in those years suddenly found a soft interpretation on this humid rainy night. Every virtual bridge is building a bridge to each other's hearts.
Even the most complex static analysis cannot calculate the node at which the load called "heart beat" will cause the soul's structure to undergo irreversible deformation.
So... Some feelings are like bridges. You can never predict which tiny resonance will firmly connect two isolated islands in the torrent...
