That summer, cicadas sang in the heat. At the opening ceremony, Lin Wei caught a brief glimpse of Chen Yang, whose sunny confidence made him shine like a brilliant star. Before she knew it, he had entered her quiet, introverted world. From then on, her gaze had a destination, and a diary filled with her innermost thoughts found its way into her desk.
Throughout their three years of high school, he was the dazzling figure seated in front of her, the boy she silently watched from the edge of the basketball court, and the heart-fluttering presence just inches away beneath their shared umbrella on rainy days. He was also the regret she carried after countless attempts to summon the courage to speak, all of which came to nothing. She thought this long, unrequited love was a one-woman show, a quiet affection in her youth that would never come to fruition.
But when ten years had passed and fate brought them together again, taking them from school uniforms to wedding attire, Chen Yang held out that yellowed diary. His eyes brimmed with a tenderness and certainty she had never seen before. “Lin Wei, did you know? Every time you secretly looked at me, I was secretly looking at you too.”
It turned out that hidden beneath their desks were two hearts, both beating for each other.
This is a story of a long, unrequited love, sweet coincidences, and a happy ending. See how the quiet Lin Wei spends ten years writing the ultimate romance, one that begins at school and ends at the altar.
Great job, author! Keep it up!
