He spent thirteen years waiting for an evening star to fall into the inkstone.
In 2007, in Wutong Lane of Nanzhou No. 1 Middle School, Shen Yan bumped into Su Wanxing squatting down to pick up books, with sycamore leaves falling on the top of his hair. When he raised his head, "the light in his eyes fell like broken stars into the bottom of his eyes" - this glance became the beginning of his thirteen-year obsession.
He is a cold and tolerant academic master. He writes crooked but neat anonymous question papers with his left hand, "engraving her preferences into her bones and blood";
On a rainy day, if you take a detour to deliver an umbrella but get caught in the rain alone, prepare two black umbrellas of the same style during the rainy season;
At sunrise on Qinghai Lake, he made a wish on the lake: "I hope I can walk to her in an honest way."
She was a bright and dull evening star, and she went through high school and college step by step. She didn't know that those "coincidences" of tenderness were all planned for a long time: the strawberry candies in the hole in the table during menstruation, the warm sesame dumplings during the winter solstice, and the analysis of the real test questions that accurately pointed out the weak points before the CET-6 exam were all his protection hidden outside the safety line.
From the three rows away from Nanzhou, to the 20-minute subway ride in Hangzhou, to the reunion in Shanghai, he gave up Tsinghua University, turned down Zhibo, and went all the way.
Finally, in the heavy rain in Suzhou, he stood in front of her with an umbrella and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll pick you up";
Downstairs in the community in the early morning, he clutched the star necklace that he had hidden for thirteen years and confessed: "Xingxing, I like you. It has never changed since I was under the sycamore tree in the first grade of high school until now."
The evening star enters the inkstone, and year after year, he spent thirteen years to prove: The best love is when I walk countless roads to get close to you, and you will eventually turn around and respond "Shen Yan, I will stay with you for the rest of my life."
