Unsent letter
On the first day of the fourth grade, I stood at the door of the classroom holding a frayed notice, and glanced into Thirteen's eyes - the sunlight fell on the ends of his hair where he was picking up erasers, and it became a secret that I had hidden for more than ten years.
Zhang Jingyu from the next village once squatted on the ridge of the field and shouted: "Xiaoying, when I grow up, I will marry you", but he could never explain his heartbeat at a young age. I followed him as a shadow for three years, walking in his footsteps through the country roads. It wasn't until I was divided into classes in junior high school and watched his back joking with others that I realized that secret love is a lonely pursuit.
I ran away to the technical school and passed him again in the crowd of Shenzhen. My heartbeat recognized that figure before my memory, and when I turned around, only a sea of people was left. It turns out that the heartbeat recognition in the TV series was never a fiction.
Later, I stayed in Shenzhen to work as a technician. I saw countless similar facial features, but I never heard such disturbing footsteps again. Until that rainy day, when we met again in the cafe, he looked at my red fingertips and chuckled: "It's you, the little girl who was always following me back then."
It turns out that he had already noticed the footsteps behind him, and it turns out that my thoughts will eventually echo.
From campus to workplace, from pursuit to reunion, this secret love that spanned more than ten years finally received a belated response in the sunshine after the rain.
Intention: Ten years of secret love, looking back in one step, it turns out that you have been waiting for me quietly in time.
