Lin Xia never thought that the thing she regretted most during her four years in college was knocking over Gu Ci's coffee on the first day of school.
She never thought that that cup of coffee would become the sweetest beginning and the most painful ending of her life.
Gu Ci is a junior in the Department of Computer Science, Vice Chairman of the Student Union, and recognized as Bingshan Senior by the entire school. He doesn't smile, doesn't take the initiative to speak, and walks like an island in the crowd. No one knew what he liked, and no one dared to ask.
Lin Xia, a freshman in the Department of Journalism, is as sweet as sweet-scented osmanthus candy in September. She smiles like two pears and carries a light wherever she goes. She was not afraid of the cold or rejection, but she dared to run into the wall Gu Ci had built with silence again and again.
The story of two people begins with the sentence "You pay for my notebook."
From bitter rivals, to club partners under the same roof, to deskmates in the library late at night, to... The words "I like you" that I had hidden for a long time and finally said out.
But the world is not a fairy tale. Just because you like someone doesn't mean you can be with them until the end.
Gu Ci hides a past that Lin Xia doesn't know about, and Lin Xia has a stubbornness in her heart that Gu Ci can't understand. There was sweetness between them, there was laughter, there were endless things to talk about late at night - there were also misunderstandings, there was silence, and there was a separation that broke both of them.
This is a story about heartbeat, missing, and "I thought loving you was enough".
