In the summer of my sophomore year in high school, the sun was particularly dazzling.
Su Ti never imagined that Zhu Xiaochuan, the young English teacher standing on the podium as gentle as jade, would become the most secret concern in her entire youth.
An accidental after-school tutoring, the gears of fate turned quietly. He would hand her a candy when she failed in the exam, rush to the infirmary with her on his back when she had a fever, and stand in front of her without hesitation when she was misunderstood.
But he is a teacher and she is a student. This relationship was destined to be shady from the beginning.
"Teacher Zhu, have you ever liked me a little bit?"
"……."
"Then why can't we be together?"
Because I am your teacher.
On graduation day, the sun was still shining brightly. She stuffed the diary filled with her thoughts for three years into his office drawer and turned to leave.
Years later, at a class reunion, someone accidentally mentioned: "I heard that Teacher Shen is still single, and there is a yellowed diary locked in the drawer of his desk..."
Everyone looked at her who was silent in the corner.
But she just smiled, picked up the glass, and drank it all.
