At the freshman speech contest, Lin Yitang fell in love at first sight with a girl who had no idea who she was.
She secretly got closer, tested the waters in private, and turned her crush into a six-month-long scheme.
But even after adding her as a friend, she didn't dare send a message. She arranged chance encounters, but could only brush past her.
On New Year's Eve, she received a mass message from the girl that said "Baby." So nervous, she could only reply, "Happy New Year."
She thought this was just a one-sided crush.
Until one night, Xu Qing asked her, her ears red, "When did you start liking me?"
Only then did she realize that every mutual love in the world begins with one person's careful first steps.
