"School bully Lu Huaizhi vs academic god Xu Xin"
Xu Xin walked into the classroom as the bell rang and sat directly in the empty seat next to Lu Huaizhi. He said "there is someone" with a cold face, but the next day his class teacher announced in public that it was a "study support position" specially designed for him.
Throughout the senior year of high school, the whole school was waiting to see how Lu Huaizhi would bully his deskmate, the "god of study" who fell from the sky, until he cried.
But when she was injured by a basketball, Lu Huaizhi was the first to rush over and pick her up. At the bus stop in the heavy rain, he used his school uniform to hold up a rainless sky for her. The tacit handwriting on those draft papers and the silent exchange of eyes under the setting sun became the secret glimmer in the high-pressure youth.
After graduation, the classroom was empty, and Lu Huaizhi looked at Xu Xin's leaving figure. The words stuck in his throat were finally buried in silence together with seven years of time.
We met again at a lighted cocktail party at the pinnacle of the industry. Lu Huaizhi is a technology upstart surrounded by everyone, while Xu Xin is a calm and self-possessed scientific research elite. The distant "Mr. Xu" and the polite "Mr. Lu" are separated by seven years of no news and a youth that will never come back.
Lu Huaizhi thought that the unspoken confession had long since dispersed in the wind. Little did he know that that "helping" seat back then was the only moment in his gloomy youth that he felt his heart move.
"And she spent the rest of her life waiting for the answer to the second half of his sentence."
Thanks 🙏 for following.
