On the first day of military training in the first year of high school, Wang Yu met Shen Xu, his best friend he had not contacted for two months, on the playground.
Under the scorching sun, the whole class stood in military posture.
When the instructor turned around, Wang Yu lowered her voice and said to him, "Shen Xu, I love you."
This is a game they played from sixth grade to high school.
Whoever blushes, dodges, or whose heart beats out of control loses.
Shen Xu always responded with a cold face: "I love you too."
Everyone thought it was an ambiguous joke between childhood sweethearts.
Only Wang Yu knew that she had lost long ago.
In the first year of high school, they participated in military training, monthly exams, sports meets and art performances together.
It was also the first time I stood downstairs and shouted for my senior year.
Wang Yu asked: "When we are in our senior year of high school, will someone call us upstairs?"
Shen Xu said: "Yes."
In their sophomore year of high school, their games were watched, heckled, and imitated by outsiders.
Wang Yu finally realized that what she wanted was not the "I love you" in the joke, but
Rather, be sure, respectful and serious.
She voluntarily quit the game and said to Shen Xu, "I won't play anymore."
Shen Xu finally panicked.
On the night when the senior high school students called upstairs, it was their turn to stand upstairs.
There was a lot of people downstairs. Shen Yue held up a sign and shouted:
"Sister Wang Yu will definitely win the college entrance examination! Brother Shen Xu, don't be a coward!"
Shen Xu looked at Wang Yu and whispered:
"After the college entrance examination is over, I have something to tell you."
Wang Yu: "Then I'll wait for you."
Later, after the graduation party, Shen Xu stood under Wutong Road outside the school and finally gave in.
"Wang Yu, I love you. It's not a game, it's not a tease, it's not a habit. It's because I want to be with you."
