“Summer is synonymous with youth, but my story with him begins in winter.”
*
As a typical laid-back ISFJ, Jiang Lechu had only two complaints about high school:
First, high school social dynamics.
Second, her famous, gifted deskmate, Yun Ji.
Yun Ji was one of the top students at Huinan Affiliated High School. At 188 centimeters, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he was the son of a jewelry dynasty and the undisputed center of attention. Wherever he went, a crowd was sure to gather.
People would quietly speculate: “He's so handsome, and those eyes of his are made for flirting. He even looks at dogs like he's in love with them. I wonder how tenderly he'd look at someone he likes?”
“I'm so jealous of Yun Ji's deskmate! Seeing a face like that every day must be heavenly!”
Hearing this, Jiang Lechu snapped back to reality.
She had no idea what Yun Ji was like when he was in love. She only knew he was so annoyingly full of himself, always raising his brows and grinning smugly at her... She couldn't imagine who would ever like him.
One evening during study hall,
Jiang Lechu noticed that Yun Ji, who was usually so sure of himself, had suddenly gone blank, staring absently at one spot.
Her rare curiosity got the better of her. She prodded his tall figure beside her with the end of her pen. “What's wrong with you today?”
“Jiang Lechu, do you have a crush on someone?”
“Huh? No.”
“Oh.”
In that brief moment, Jiang Lechu saw the gloomy boy's brows lift and an unreadable smile appear on his lips.
Jiang Lechu: So annoying. Even more annoying than getting a love letter from a stranger today.
She never expected Yun Ji to confess to her the next day.
*
As a gifted young man, Yun Ji had three things in life that made him happiest:
First, meeting Jiang Lechu during his first week at the affiliated high school.
Second, becoming Jiang Lechu's deskmate.
Third, when Jiang Lechu accepted his confession in their graduation year, and he finally belonged to her.
Jiang Lechu didn't know that the day the class assignments came out in the second semester of their first year was the day Yun Ji had dreamed of.
Yun Ji had a diary filled with everything related to Jiang Lechu. Jiang Lechu, his deskmate, had no idea what was inside.
“Yun Ji, are you keeping a diary?”
The boy shook his head. “No, but maybe you'd like to know what's in it.”
Jiang Lechu was dying of curiosity. She couldn't help asking, “Then... can I see it?”
Yun Ji smiled. “Maybe later.”
When you truly fall for me, I'll tell you.
*
Later, Jiang Lechu found the diary in Yun Ji's study 📓:
“February 27, 2018 - Congratulations, you're in the same class as her.”
“May 8, 2018 - My feelings for her are my own. I must never let them affect her.”
“January 1, 2019 - Jiang Lechu, happy new year. I... like you so much.”
“March 12, 2019 - So some people become more lovable the closer you get to them. That's how it is for me. Does Jiang Lechu like me even a little by now?
At last, the secret feelings no one knew about came to light.
Just as Jiang Lechu turned around, she happened to see the protagonist of the story.
She ran over and hugged Yun Ji tightly. “Jiang Lechu really likes Yun Ji now, and the Jiang Lechu of the future will still like Yun Ji! I'll love you forever!”
/ The start of a fluttering heart isn't some moment overflowing with dopamine. It's the smile that fills your eyes when you suddenly think of someone.
