In the first semester of high school, Wen Zhixia's composition was read aloud as a model essay. She thought that no one cared about this "highlight" until Shen Xuyu asked about the "source of inspiration for the metaphor."
From then on, there were countless footnotes about "getting close" in her diary: creating encounters through math problems, the silence of the neighbor in the library, the anonymous sugar-free Coke on the corner of the table... She regarded every "coincidence" as a signal that he might "care".
At the high school sports day, Wen Zhixia fell down as a runner and was helped to the infirmary by Shen Xuyu. She secretly treasured the fibers on his sleeves; on his birthday, she stayed up late to sort out the aerospace information, but in the end she only dared to stuff it into a drawer. The intersection of these "self-strategies" became the brightest light in her youth.
On the 100th day of her senior year in high school, Wen Zhixia made a vague confession in her "Letter to the Future", but accidentally heard Shen Xuyu's true words - "Her? It's just a question, I didn't pay attention to it." It turns out that all the "specialness" is just her own chaos.
After the college entrance examination, Wen Zhixia received an admission notice from another place, and Shen Xuyu fulfilled his wish to pursue his dream of aerospace. While tidying up her desk, she dug out the diary filled with his name and the folder that had not been sent out.
In the sound of tearing up the diary, she whispered:
"He never liked me,
I never took those tiny intersections to heart,
Never..."
In this youth, he was her only light, but she never knew how passionately the light had been looked up to.
(To everyone who has had a secret crush: Some likes will eventually become yellowed notes in the drawer, footnotes of reconciliation with youth)
Concept: Youthful crush, regret growing up
