Echoes of the Summer Breeze

[First Person · Secret Love Turns Mutual · Both Leads Are Pure · Broken Relationship Mended · Reunion After Years Apart · Sweet Romance]

The male lead has never dated anyone before. He is pure in both body and heart, unaware of her feelings at first, but later pursues her with all his heart. Their story is sweet and bittersweet in equal measure from beginning to end.

I had a secret crush on Shen Qing since eighth grade. Once I fell for him, I loved him for five whole years.

In high school, I moved away. When I heard from a friend that he was dating someone, I was quietly heartbroken for a long time. I once asked him which university he dreamed of attending, and he said Ancheng University. When I finally looked him up again after burying myself in exam prep, I realized he had already deleted me as a friend. I didn't dare ask anyone about it, and I had no idea whether he had deleted only me or everyone. The hurt and bitterness in my heart wouldn't go away. I couldn't help wondering if he hated me. Otherwise, why would he delete me out of nowhere, after keeping my contact information for so long, even after we graduated from middle school?

A week before the college entrance exams, I wrote him an anonymous letter, wishing him luck getting into the university of his dreams and saying goodbye to my five-year crush. Then I quietly sent it to his home.

With my broken heart in tow, I worked as hard as I could. In the end, I scraped in just above the cutoff and got into Ancheng University.

We unexpectedly met again at university. He gradually drew closer to me, treating me with such tenderness that his eyes seemed full of affection for me.

As we spent more time together, we became close friends who could talk about anything. The distance between us as teenagers slowly faded away in our everyday companionship.

During a holiday, while sorting through old books, he happened upon that letter and finally learned that I had been in love with him for five whole years.

At last, the tender feelings of youth were gently cherished, and all the bitterness of the past turned into happiness for the rest of our lives.

The summer wind carries an echo, and a beating heart finds its answer.
