In the second grade of high school, Shen Yu, the first grader, and Xu You, the second grader, became roommates.
One is a reserve candidate for the physics competition, cool and taciturn, like a final question with no solution; the other is first in the math grade, quiet and reserved, like a fill-in-the-blank question that will never be answered. Everyone thought they were unfamiliar—and they were. In the first three months, the total number of conversations did not exceed twenty sentences, all centered on problem-solving ideas, and they were as polite as two strangers sharing a table.
But some feelings start from "There is another solution to the third question."
From exchanging scratch paper to sharing wrong question papers; from working independently to standing side by side on the podium in national competitions; from "borrowing me for a moment" to "lent me half my life". They spent three years in high school completing a long and restrained approach, hiding all their turbulent emotions behind function images and physical formulas.
The summer after the college entrance examination, Shen Yu filled in the same university in every column of the application form.
Xu You asked him why.
He said: "Because your first choice is my only choice."
This is a story about how two proud people slowly and steadily wrote each other into their futures at an age when they should be at war most.
Chapter 200. From high school to college graduation. From looking at each other without words to having you for the rest of my life.
Before the critical point, they each emit light; after the critical point, they resonate at the same frequency.
