Mutual secret crushes, love blossoming over time, from school uniforms to wedding gowns
On the day of the first-year high school opening ceremony, Lin Zhi saw Huo Jingshen for the first time.
He spoke onstage as the freshman representative, his manner cool and aloof. She looked up at him from among the crowd, and her heart skipped a beat.
Later, while they were picking up their new textbooks, someone bumped into her and sent her books scattering across the floor. He crouched down to help her pick them up, then carried them back to her classroom.
She thought it was just a chance encounter, unaware that the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
She saw him being bullied in the cafeteria and rushed over without hesitation to stand up for him. She saw him surrounded on his way home and called the police without a second thought. She realized he couldn't bear to eat dinner, so every day she slipped sandwiches and snacks into his desk...
He said, “Stop being so nice to me.” He thought he wasn't worthy of her. He was afraid that if she treated him too well, he wouldn't be able to control himself. He was afraid that once he accepted her kindness, he would never be able to give it up.
She clumsily knitted him a scarf and worked up the courage to give it to him. He gave her a pair of gloves in return, along with a note: “Between friends, one good turn deserves another.”
Holding the note, she thought: I don't want to be your friend at all.
This is a story about the things they “didn't dare say.”
One person desperately tries to catch up, while the other desperately tries to grow.
Until one day, he finally has the courage to stand before her and say the words: “When I was seventeen, I didn't dare tell you I loved you. Now I finally have the courage to say it. Lin Zhi, I love you.”
You were the words I couldn't bring myself to say when I was young, and the only answer I will ever need for the rest of my life.
