   Reader note

   That unspoken crush, hidden throughout our entire senior year of high school. If you were given a chance to relive your senior year, would you muster the courage to tell the person hidden in your heart, "I like you"? The story takes place in a high school in the 1990s. There were no smartphones, no instant messaging. If you liked someone, you could only take a detour past their classroom, fill your textbooks with their name, and secretly catch glimpses of their silhouette in the crowd. The female protagonist, Ye Feng, is ordinary, insecure, and even a little socially anxious. She feels that she is too short and ugly to have an open crush, so she can only secretly hide her feelings for the class monitor, Ye Nan, in the title pages of every textbook. She thought it was a one-sided love that no one knew about, until during the class transfer incident, Ye Nan handed her his textbook and whispered, "Don't be afraid"; until on the bus after the college entrance exam, he took her hand and gave her the poem, "The wind blows from the south, and leaves fly everywhere." But the turning point of youth always comes unexpectedly. A disagreement over college applications and a summer without contact information caused this budding relationship to be cut off instantly. The most touching element of the entire story isn't the mutual, unrequited love, but rather He Yuanshan, who always stands by Ye Feng's side. He's carefree and always teases her, yet he patiently explains the problem to her again and again when she scores only 27 on her chemistry test; he silently keeps his shirt for her when she stains her skirt during her period; he accompanies her to climb over the wall to watch an outdoor movie, protecting her even when bitten by a stray dog. His affection is hidden in his jokes, in the scratch paper during tutoring sessions, and in his ever-present gaze whenever she turns around. The story ends in the university cafeteria during military training. She, tanned dark, is engrossed in eating braised pork when a familiar voice rings out from across the room. In that instant of looking up, all the regrets and yearnings of youth find new answers. The entire piece is written with delicate detail and vivid imagery, every detail precisely capturing the hidden emotions of youth. You will see your former insecurities in Ye Feng, your unrequited love from that year in Ye Nan, and the gentlest answer you've overlooked for so long in He Yuanshan.
