On the last page of Lin Wan's notebook was written the word "Chen Yu", with tiny stars drawn next to them that were about to be erased by the eraser.
This name has not disappeared from her life since the first year of high school when he sat at the table behind her. She remembered his fondness for animation, her habit of wiping sweat with her left hand when playing ball, and her smiling face when he said "keep in touch in the future" after the college entrance examination - but "keep in touch" eventually turned into the phrase "Happy New Year" that she only dared to click into the chat box on New Year's Eve every year. When she watched his official announcement, she folded the newly written confession letter into a paper boat and put it into the water of the school's artificial lake.
At the seventh-year class reunion, Chen Yu smiled and asked her, "Why haven't we contacted her all these years?" Lin Wan shook her hand holding the juice and just said, "I'm too busy." She didn't say, in fact, she passed by the gate of his university three times, and she didn't say that there was an unspoken love hidden in her notebook that lasted longer than seven years.
The wind blew in from the window of the restaurant, bringing with it the coolness of late summer, just like the mood she had felt every time she looked at his back in the past seven years - the excitement was his, the regret was hers, and the words "I like you" did not last long enough for him to hear her.
Concept: Regret is also a part of youth
