Synopsis

On the first day of their freshman year, Chen Siyu was assigned to sit with Lin Rui.

He was quiet, reserved, a good student, and never one to join the crowd.

She was lively, cheerful, a little impulsive, but thoughtful at heart.

Over two years, they endured weekly quizzes and the stress of monthly exams together, watched the sunset during PE, and walked beneath the plane trees on their way home.

For two years, he brought her soy milk, and she peeled tea eggs for him.

Their classmates teased them, and the teachers knew what was going on. Only the two of them never said a word.

That summer in the countryside, a group of them caught fish in bamboo fish traps, watched the stars from a rooftop, grilled skewers by the river, and made a wish beneath the old pagoda tree: “Let’s come back next vacation.”

On the last night before they parted, he finally typed the words he had kept to himself for two years on his phone screen:

“I like you, Chen Siyu.”

This is not a sweeping love story.

There is no melodrama, no misunderstandings, no tragic parting forever.

Just the warmth of soy milk, the rustle of plane tree leaves, sunlight in the classroom, and a group of young people slowly growing up.

“There’s plenty of time. We can take it slow. No rush.”
