The September wind was blowing the sycamore leaves, and Lin Xi was squatting in the corner of the playground, holding a silver-gray school uniform button with his fingertips - Jiang Yubai's second button was torn off in the basketball game just now.
"Classmate, did you pick up my button?" His voice was slightly breathy, and Lin Xi raised her head and bumped into his smiling eyes. The sunlight passed through his broken hair. She hurriedly handed over the button, but she heard him say: "I'll give it to you. I heard that the second button is closest to the heart."
From then on, there was an extra secret in the pencil case. When she was reading in the morning, she secretly drew a sketch of buttons, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Yubai looking at her from three rows away, with the corners of his mouth curved into the shape of a button; during self-study in the evening, he borrowed his math notes, and when he returned them, there was an extra line of pencil writing on the title page: "The auxiliary line for the third question was drawn wrong, idiot", with a small crooked button drawn next to it.
On Christmas Eve, Lin Xi sewed the buttons back on his school uniform. When their fingertips brushed against the collar of their shirt, they both froze. Snow was falling outside the window, Jiang Yubai lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Actually, I tore it off on purpose that day." He paused, and his voice became softer: "Jiang Yubai's second button is only for Lin Xi."
In the graduation yearbook, the second button of his school uniform is empty. In Lin Xi's photo album, on the page with the silver button, there are words written by his pen: "Ten years later, I will give you the second button of the suit."
The sycamore leaves fall and grow again, and the young man's promise is like hot cocoa, hiding the most clumsy sweetness.
