A chance encounter made Yun Ling fall in love with Pei Yijin from Class 20 High School. Full of joy, she quietly chased after him, figuring out the flavor of milk tea he loved to drink, memorizing his window seat for evening study, and detailing all his daily hobbies. However, she always swallowed the word "like" in her throat and acted out this one-man show of secret love that no one knew about.
She thought her thoughts were well hidden, but when she heard the news that Pei Yijin was in love, the sourness in her heart broke through the disguise - she smiled and said "congratulations", but turned around with red eyes. From that day on, Yun Ling silently put away her passionate love and learned to let go slowly.
Later, Pei Yijin broke up and cried in a mess in the corner of the playground. Yun Ling sat next to him, quietly passing tissues and whispering clumsy comfort. It was also from this moment on that Pei Yijin belatedly noticed this girl who was always by his side. His feelings for her grew little by little, but he was unable to say it out loud.
In the summer after the college entrance examination, Yun Ling finally gave up the idea of applying to the same university as him, and went to the far north with her bags on her back. The mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and the contact is gradually dwindling. The secret love that ended in vain is slowly being covered by the new life, and she even has a new relationship.
It wasn't until the class reunion five years later that Pei Yijin accidentally opened the secret love notes that Yun Ling had left behind. The yellowed pages are densely packed with details about him, and the words between the lines are full of the girl's thoughts. He flipped through the pages, his heart seemed to be clenched tightly by something, filled with countless sadness.
