Lin Zhixia’s college years began with a backlit silhouette at the opening ceremony and a calm, composed speech.
She is a literature-loving Chinese major who records the world in words. Sensitive and perceptive, she locks away her overwhelming secret crush in an anonymous blog called “Stardust Observation Log.” He is a physics prodigy who believes every action can be derived from a formula. A firm believer in reason, he nevertheless starts using mathematical models to calculate the best routes for “accidentally” running into her at the library.
Six whole years, from the innocence of college to the maturity of working life.
They are the quietest names in each other’s contacts, yet the brightest stars in each other’s worlds. She is the one paradox in his universe of logic; he is the deepest current beneath her calm waters. The thrill of countless near misses, the silence of being close enough to speak but unable to find the words, and the sweetness and ache woven from misunderstandings and coincidences… They are each other’s deepest secret, and become each other’s most faithful companions.
This most intense mutual secret love is a grand, wordless resonance.
Then graduation bells ring, and the crossroads of fate loom before them. When six years of silent companionship face the test of reality, who will break the silence first? And can a long-overdue confession still catch up with time?
“Lu Xingyan, I kept a record of you for four whole years, but you were my entire youth.”
“Lin Zhixia, every one of my ‘accidents’ was a carefully planned ‘inevitability.’”
This is a long story about secret love, growing up, and finding the courage to act. If you’ve ever loved someone in silence, I’m sure you’ll see a reflection of yourself in it.
Not bad. The love process of a man from science and engineering.
