[Short story, Lily, completed, restrained rational senior x passionate and sincere senior]
"Senior, you feel as safe as a mother."
When eighteen-year-old He Jiayin said these words, he had no idea what boundary he was crossing.
Qiao Yanshu - the most calm and self-possessed senior in the law school, always keeping an appropriate distance from others. But when the elementary school girl from the north came closer again and again, the "accidental encounter" with a fixed seat in the library, the hands held together in the rainy night, the ready-to-express confession in the snow... The high wall she built began to show cracks.
"If what happened between us happened to two boys, it would be written as a youth story."
"But if it happens between girls, it will just become a footnote of 'best friends' love."
He Jiayin didn't understand why the same heartbeat had to be looked at by different eyes.
Qiao Yanshu has already seen the price clearly: "Some roads are too cold, so I can walk alone."
From their meeting in the early autumn when the sycamore leaves fell, to their farewell in the heavy snowfall of late winter, there was always one question between them:
When the world has already written a script for our relationship, can we still write a different ending for ourselves?
Intention: Love is understanding, not possession; love is entrustment, not binding
