During the summer vacation of fourth grade, Chen Yuxuan moved into the old street and lived next door to Lin Xiaoman. She took him to climb the big sycamore tree by the river and gave him eggs from her own chickens. She wanted to show him the whole street. He just thought this girl was too noisy.
Later, when the old street was to be demolished, she stood alone in front of the bulldozer to protect the trees, but he did not dare to stand up. Later, she started painting and he studied photography. They were separated by a playground and neither of them spoke. In the darkroom, the photos he developed were all of her back.
Grandpa said, you have to be worthy of someone who has light in his eyes before you dare to chase him.
Eight years. She went from chasing him to not even saying hello. He finally said it.
