I am thirty years old and my blind date is twenty-five.
"Five years younger, no."
He smiled: "Then treat it as a friend."
I thought he was really just a friend. Until one day he said, "I've known you four years ago."
At that time, I had just ran out of the principal's office crying. My hair was disheveled, my makeup was messed up, and I was as embarrassed as a joke. He stood in the corridor and glanced at me.
He remembered that look for four years.
And it took me a whole year before I dared to admit that the thorn in my heart was never my age, but myself.

The narrative is smooth and the emotions are delicate. Although there is no ups and downs in the plot, it is more gradual and exciting.
