On the day when the college entrance examination scores were released, I didn't dare to ask Su Qingyu how many scores he had scored.
She didn't say anything either. All I know is that she failed the exam. Her father had a car accident the night before the college entrance exam. She sat in the hospital all night and entered the exam room with a high fever the next day. I only learned about these things much later.
In my senior year of high school, I only slept four hours a day. I am still learning when others take a break. Everyone thought I wanted to get into a good university. Only I know that the only one I want to go to is the one she might go to.
When the results came out, I performed exceptionally well, forty points higher than the highest in the mock test.
On the day the admission notice arrived, I met her at the school gate. She came out with her schoolbag and stopped when she saw me.
"Did you pass the exam?"
"Yeah."
She looked at me for two seconds, said nothing, nodded, turned and left. There was no expression on his face, and there was a layer of blue-grey under his eyes.
I thought that was the last one.
On the first day of college, I dragged my suitcase into the school gate and didn't know anyone. Military training, classes, canteens, dormitories, life passed normally.
Until a month later, I brushed a photo on the campus wall.
The club recruits new members. The girl at the far edge of the photo is tall and thin, with black hair tucked behind her ears and her chin slightly raised, like a swan accustomed to looking down.
Su Qingyu.
She is also in this school.
I stared at that photo for a long time. Then I remembered that afternoon in the freshman year of high school, when she walked from the end of the corridor. At that time I was 80kg and sitting in the corner of the last row. Now I weigh 140 pounds, standing on the university campus.
I thought I was trying my best to catch up with her.
It turns out that fate had already put her in front of me.
