The late summer evening breeze carries the fragrance of locust flowers and blows into the convenience store at the entrance of the alley.
When Lin Wan lowered her head to sort the shelves, she ran into a pair of smiling peach blossom eyes - the person coming was Ji Yu'an, a young man she had hidden her entire youth.
During the three years of high school, her obsession was the orange soda that she secretly stuffed into the belly of his desk, which was the "crime" he shouldered for her when she was made to stand; in the four years of college, his obsession was the bottle of soda that he was reluctant to drink and put out of date, and the carvings of the sycamore tree that he would take a look at every year when he came back.
On the day of their reunion, he was riding an old bicycle. The strawberries in the basket were attractively red, and he held a silver ring engraved with orange flowers on his fingertips.
"Lin Wan," his eyes were full of stars, "I have accumulated courage for many years and want to say to you——"
The evening breeze passed by, blowing away the dust of the years.
It turns out that the preference for a two-way secret love has never been a secret. It was just hidden in the evening breeze year after year, waiting for the right opportunity to fall gently.
