XiayuⅹSu Xiao
When the morning light of the first year of high school filled the corridor on the third floor, Xia Yu bent down to help Su Xiao pick up the scattered textbooks. The moment his fingertips touched the scent of ink in the new book, the young man's thoughts quietly sprouted with the fragrance of gardenia. Later, it was the Star Rabbit sticker on the corner of the table, the iced mineral water handed to them on the basketball court, the smell of mint next to the wrong question book in the library, and the white shirts side by side beside the 800-meter track - the summer night wind was wrapped in the chirping of cicadas, turning the two people's secrets into sweetness.
The wind in the senior year of high school suddenly became biting. The red cross on the monthly exam report card, her mother's sigh, and the class teacher's instructions made Su Xiao hold on to the note of "focus on studying first" and push Xia Yu away. She rejected his umbrella in the rain, but she didn't see his knuckles turning white while holding the handle of the umbrella. She didn't expect that turning around would turn out to be a farewell forever. In order to fulfill an "explained" agreement, Xia Yu shielded her from danger in the traffic, and she stayed in that autumn forever.
In the midsummer of the next year, Su Xiao stood in the cemetery holding the admission notice, and the familiar chirping of cicadas drifted in the wind. She put lemon soda and a brand new Chinese textbook in front of the tombstone and whispered "I passed the exam." When the words fell, only the shadow of the camphor tree swayed gently, just like the "I like you" he hadn't finished saying that year, still lingering in the wind.
Purpose: Through an unspoken confession and an irreversible parting, it explains that the beauty missed in youth due to hesitation and misunderstanding will eventually turn into an unforgettable mark in the heart.
