When Song Shiyu was a girl, there were piles of test papers on her desk. The only disturbance in her dull and peaceful life was that in her sophomore year of high school, an unusual new resident moved in across the door——
Xie Jiashu, the proud son of heaven who is admired by all the stars, is a resident guest on the honor list and campus wall of Jiangbei No. 1 Middle School.
The first time she came into contact with him was when she forgot her keys and sat on the stifling hot corridor steps, fanning herself with her exercise book.
He walked up the stairs holding the basketball.
She was embarrassed and stood up to make way. Unexpectedly, Xie Jiashu walked into the house and brought her a bag of iced green tangerines.
"Taste it?" The corners of the young man's lips were slightly curved, his amber pupils were clear and clean, and his ruthless aura was mixed with a little tenderness, which made people's heart palpitate uncontrollably.

After that day, there was a locked diary in Song Shiyu's drawer.
She regarded him as a target and worked hard to get closer to him.
The day I finally worked up the courage to express my feelings, I got the news that he was moving to another school.
Since then, there has been no news from Xie Jiashu.
Her love has become a secret that can never be told.

Four years later, Song Shiyu graduated from college and had long left the excitement of his youth behind.
She never thought about meeting Xie Jiashu again, let alone moving into his house and becoming his tenant.
One day, when a colleague from the company sent her home, she was bumped into by Xie Jiashu.
The streetlights cast an orange halo. Song Shiyu stared at the two black figures on the ground, one tall and one short, distant from each other. Xie Jiashu's clear voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Is he chasing you?"
She thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "That's right."
He stopped and lowered his eyes, his eyes filled with unprecedented jealousy: "Then, where am I in the queue now?"
[The heart of a seventeen-year-old girl is like a green orange that is about to be ripe. It is sour at first, but then tastes sweet again.
Only many years later, when she saw his similarly locked diary, did Song Shiyu realize that she had once been Xie Jiashu's green tangerine.
