The drawing that she picked up by mistake when she knocked over the equipment became a hidden secret in Lin Ruan's sketchbook - the paper showed the light and shadow of the phoenix trees painted by Jiang Yan, the cool academic master, but the back of the paper was stained with the goose-yellow ribbon she had half-drawn.
She is a cute hand-painted girl who carries a sketchbook all over the campus and "steals paintings", while he is a cold-faced detail-controller with a double major in computer science and art. The first time they met was at the "car accident scene" of equipment boxes and painting tools, and the second time they met was at the recruitment office of the art club. He squatted down to help her flatten the curled drawing paper. The temperature of his fingertips was colder than mineral water, but he insisted on reminding her to "don't get wet while sketching."
She drew the broken gold of Wutong Road into the manuscript paper, and she hid his profile in the mezzanine; the Q-print portrait she drew was secretly pasted on the title page of his experiment report, and the easel he helped her repair was placed on the shelf of her part-time cultural and creative work.
From the embarrassing apology for taking the wrong drawing, to the tacit understanding of occupying the window seat in the library, to the co-branded "Indus and Sketch" merchandise in the window of the cultural and creative store - their heartbeat is never a grand confession, it is the dirty pencil mark in the sketchbook, the hot milk tea hidden in the equipment box, and the other person's unspoken "I have drawn you into my life."
When the graduation season time capsule was opened, Jiang Yan's final draft was already covered with his profile that Lin Ruan had been drawing for four years.
"It turns out that from the day I knocked over the equipment, my sketchbook became a container for you."
