In the spring of his senior year in high school, Cheng Nian was invited by his class teacher to go back to his alma mater to give a sharing. He Xu was punished to do plank support at the door of the classroom, his head was covered with sweat and his arms were shaking. She walked past him. Against the light, he didn't see her face clearly, but he recognized the outline. She glanced at him without stopping.
He asked her which university she had attended and wrote the name of the school on a post-it note for a whole year. I fell short in the college entrance examination and only entered another school in the same city. It doesn't matter, we're still in the same city. He added her on WeChat and appeared in her life as a junior. She had a boyfriend, but he just stayed on the edge of her sight. She liked a certain band. At the music festival, he handed over a telescope and asked if he wanted to sit on my shoulder.
Later she broke up. Something happened at home, and my boyfriend said, "You need to calm down." She didn't cry. But she didn't contact him on her birthday either. He took the earliest bus and went to wait downstairs in her dormitory. When she came downstairs, she was so haggard that she was unrecognizable. He said, "I thought you didn't want me anymore."
She didn't understand.
She completely forgot that many years ago there was a child who saved up his pocket money for a few days and bought her a lollipop. She took it and said thank you, turned around and left talking and laughing with her classmates. The child stood there and watched her disappear.
The child grew up and almost got admitted to her school, but he almost didn't wait until she looked back.
But he was catching up on all the "near misses" bit by bit.
