He Zeng (Short Story Version)

In high school, Zeng Lingyue and He Yang were classmates whose relationship was so close that the boundaries were blurred. They can wear the same coat, drink a glass of water together, and remain tacitly silent amidst everyone's booing, but they have never been able to express their "like". However, the sensitivity and self-esteem of adolescence make this ambiguity gradually lose focus through repeated trials and misunderstandings. In the erroneous information gap, the two people's judgments about each other's feelings were completely misaligned - she thought his silence was rejection, and he thought her determination was betrayal. A question that failed to clarify, and a "hard talk" stemming from cowardice, finally pushed the two people away. It wasn't until ten years later that they reunited by chance in a cafe in a foreign land. Time had washed away the sharpness of youth, but it had not erased the traces of memory. The phrase "I missed you" that was delayed throughout my youth finally had the opportunity to be spoken, but what stood in the middle was ten years that could never be repeated.
