In the autumn when he was seventeen, two things crashed into Lin Yanzhou's regular life -
One was the old sycamore tree outside the window that kept losing its leaves, and the other was Jiang Che who suddenly occupied his desk.
One is an top student who always sits in the front row and whose notebook is cleaner than his face. He is afraid of disturbing the air even when he speaks;
One is a "school bully" who wears his school uniform with an open collar and is always followed by a group of people. When fighting, his eyes are colder than the autumn wind.
They were supposed to be two lines that would never intersect, but because of a vicious scratch carved on the corner of the table, they were forced to share the same shade of a sycamore tree.
Lin Yanzhou had seen Jiang Che's bleeding gauze after a fight, and had also heard him lying on the table, covering his head with his coat, saying "thank you" in a muffled voice;
Jiang Che saw the red tips of Lin Yanzhou's ears when he couldn't solve a question, and also snatched his milk, but one day he silently fended off the gangsters in the alley for him.
Some people say that Jiang Che is a piece of ice that cannot hold any heat, but only Lin Yanzhou knows that there is unspoken tenderness hidden in his palms;
Some people say that Lin Yanzhou is an untouchable grass, but only Jiang Che understands that he has a toughness that refuses to be broken in his bones.
When the police figure appeared at the door of the classroom, and when the hidden wounds were uncovered one by one, the two teenagers discovered:
The so-called salvation is never a one-way light.
It was him who pulled him out of the cage of rules and watched a sunset that was not written in the timetable;
It was he who pulled him up from the mire of darkness and handed him a piece of paper filled with formulas.
The sycamore leaves have fallen and turned yellow, and their stories grow amid the chirping of cicadas and the north wind——
It turns out that the strongest wind and the softest light can really create an echo of youth.
