   Have you ever had a moment like this? When I flipped through an old photo album of myself in school uniform, I suddenly remembered someone's profile - he always hit the corner of your desk when turning his pen, her hair brushed the back of your hand when she was giving a lecture, you had counted stars in the playground after night study, and you said you wanted to go to a university in the same city. But what happened next?

    The whole text is full of sadness and regret. I always wonder, if Qingqing had not deliberately pretended to be gossipy when others were teasing Yangyang and Shan Yidi, and showed a little bit of displeasure, it doesn't matter just a little. Would Xie Yangyang have discovered that she also cared about him a little? If Xie Yangyang had looked up at her when Qingqing was about to leave, would there have been any changes? There is just a little difference between two people who like each other can be together. Xie Yangyang's love was buried deep in his heart before he could express it to his mouth. He watched with his own eyes the heroine of his entire youth go to someone else, leaving only one person trapped in memories. Maybe regret is the normal state of youth...
