There are always secrets hidden in the scratch paper of Class 1, Senior Grade 1.
Lin Haitang first noticed Jiang Yubai because of his notebook that was so clean that it didn't look like scratch paper - the formulas were as neat as printing, even the auxiliary lines were straight, and there was a vague ink mark hidden on the edge of the page, like unfinished words.
He is recognized as the "iceberg academic master". His white shirt is always buttoned to the top button. When answering questions, he only says "Steps are in P32". However, he will squat down to tie her shoelaces when she sprains her ankle. He quietly pushes the umbrella to her hand on rainy days and inserts a note with simplified steps in his homework book.
She was a somewhat reckless "Little Sun", and her draft paper was covered with Little Sun's graffiti, but she couldn't help but peek at his side face as he lowered his head to do the questions. She noticed that he always put the pen on the edge of the table a little sideways, noticed that the word "Xiaotang" was scratched and written in his notebook, and noticed that he said "I don't want to borrow notes" but only handed the notebook to her.
From the accidental meeting when pens dropped at the back table, to the names next to each other on the elective list; from the nicknames hidden on the edge of the scratch paper, to the crumpled confession note he took out under the street lamp - it turned out that some feelings did not need to be said loudly, but were hidden in the moment when the tips of his ears turned red, hidden in her sneak peek pretending not to see, hidden in a pile of scratch paper filled with each other's names.
This is a youthful story about "approaching cautiously". It is the process of icebergs slowly melting under the warm sun. It is about two teenagers hiding "I like you" in every small crevice of their daily life in high school until the wind blows gently and all their thoughts become unhidden tenderness.
