Shen Jingshu × Zhou Yanci (mutual redemption, the last one comes first)
Before Shen Jingshu turned seventeen, the world was covered in gray. My mother always compares herself to the "daughter next door", as if she is worthless. A naughty person needs explicit and direct love❤️ instead of falling into a dead end of repeated speculation and insecurity.
Until the sunshine in the high school classroom fell on her shoulders, Zhou Yanci, the young man who always sat by the window, used a pencil to draw clear stress lines on her crumpled physics test paper.
Zhou Yanci once thought that life was a one-way street of competitions, prestigious schools, and laboratories, and that the world was as precise as a formula. After looking into the girl's lowered eyes, I realized that the stars would fall in the gaps in the wrong question book, and the trembling of the eyelashes was more moving than the parabola.
She stood up straight under his gaze and replaced "I can't" with "I'll try". When she was confident and glowing at the party, she was surprised to realize that she was no longer the shadow in the corner. He deviated from the track amidst her laughter and accompanied her on a long walk to look at the moon, only to realize that there was a world beyond her dreams that was more worth pursuing.
When the admission notice arrived and the train on the platform blew its whistle, Shen Jingshu dared to raise her head and say "I'm fine". Zhou Yanci understood that the variable "we" is always hidden in the best formula.
People who were once trapped in the shadows will eventually be illuminated by each other. After that, it was bright and clear, and their journey had just begun.
