"To Youth"
Introduction
In the midsummer when he was seventeen years old, the shadow of the sycamore trees spread over the classroom windowsill, and transfer student Lu An crashed into Song Ting's chaotic youth. One is a taciturn academic master, and the other is a rebellious poor student. The two parallel lines unexpectedly intersect, and amidst the chirping of cicadas and the rustling of test papers, secret and turbulent emotions arise. They once shared the same cigarette on the rooftop and secretly passed notes under the light of evening study hall, but they finally started their new life.
General content
At the beginning of the first year of high school, Lu An's arrival broke the peace of the class. He always lives alone and ranks first in his grade, while Song Ting is a "problem student" in the eyes of the teacher. Skipping classes and fighting are commonplace. By chance, Song Ting came to Lu An's rescue and drove away the gangsters outside the school who blocked him. The two met from then on.
Song Ting discovered that Lu An's seemingly cold appearance hid an unknown loneliness. His parents were away from home all year round, leaving him alone to live. Lu An was attracted by Song Ting's liveliness and enthusiasm, which he had never had before. They climbed over the wall to play games in the Internet cafe together, chatting until late at night on the playground stand. Lu An helped Song Ting with tutoring lessons, and Song Ting led Lu An to experience the fireworks life. The affection spreads quietly as they get along day and night. The hug on the rooftop, the shared umbrella on rainy nights, and the note secretly hidden in the textbook have all become tacit secrets between the two.
This secret feeling could not escape the eyes of others after all. Rumors came in like a tidal wave. After Song Ting's parents learned about it, they forcibly transferred him to another school. Before leaving, the two had a quick meeting at the station. They had a thousand words stuck in their throats, but they only exchanged one sentence: "Study hard."
After the college entrance examination, Song Ting failed to get into the ideal university and chose to go south to work, while Lu An got into a prestigious university and left for a foreign country. In the next ten years, the two lost contact and each struggled on the road of life. Song Ting became an auto mechanic, covered in oil, but always took out the yellowed piece of paper late at night; Lu An became an architectural designer, wearing suits and ties, but never had a crush on anyone.
Ten years later, the two met again at a class reunion. Looking at each other's strange yet familiar faces, memories of the past flooded back to them. They stopped at the door of the former classroom. The sycamore leaves were still rustling. Lu An finally said the words "I like you" that he had not said back then, and Song Ting's eyes were red.
