This is a long campus sweet article focusing on the bond of "pseudo-orthopedics". It tells the heart-warming story of Shen Li, a cool academic, and Jiang Yan, a sunny boy, who transformed from "strangers forced to live together" into "the only light in each other's lives" due to their parents' middle-aged remarriage.
Shen Li is the president of the student union who abides by the rules and always has mints between his fingertips, but he will break the "not late" principle for Jiang Yan and secretly collect his scrapped drafts; Jiang Yan is a oil painting student who loves to show off, and has a twisted basketball pendant hanging on his schoolbag, but he carries the eraser given by Shen Li close to his body and always protects his "brother" in front of outsiders. Under the same roof, they went from the "cold war" in the study room to the cuddling of sharing secrets late at night; on campus, from the "tit-for-tat" confrontation in the student union to check classes, to the two-way guarding at the sports meeting - Shen Li defended Jiang Yan from gangsters outside the school, Jiang Yan helped Shen Li make up competition notes, and even the daily strawberry milk, warm ginger soup, and amusement park marshmallows became evidence that he could not hide his heartbeat.
There is no cruelty in the story, only the quilts stacked by the grandmothers, the "corner seat for evening self-study" tacitly approved by the class teacher, and the "boyfriend is here" teased by friends. The details full of fireworks weaken the concerns of "pseudo-orthopedics" and amplify the frank preference in youth. From holding hands secretly in high school, to traveling to the same city in college, to building a small home together after graduation, Shen Li and Jiang Yan not only healed each other's childhood loneliness, but also wrote a sweet and warm chapter about growth, trust and two-way travel with the promise of "I want to spend every summer with you".
