When You Ning was seventeen, she started working in a convenience store.
That rainy day, she opened the door and bumped into a girl who was reading Neruda. Three silver nails, a black umbrella, and the sentence "You look very good."
When she said she was not good, the man laughed and said I would take it back.
Later, You Ning found out that Lin Yu was the girl who studied painting in Class 7. She was as free as the wind and so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away. They were supposed to be two parallel lines that would never intersect - Lin Yu lived in Fenglin Garden and was going to England to study art; You Ning was trapped in the old house, guarding the empty winter after her mother remarried.
But she remembered those moments: the coolness on her fingertips when handing her oden, the friction of her clothes when we walked together in the rain, and the words on the title page of the book of poems - May your winter always have frost.
You Ning hid these moments in her diary, like collecting broken moonlight. She told herself that this was a secret, a secret that could never be told.
Until the night of the graduation dinner, Lin Yu was drunk and blocked her in the fire escape.
"You Ning," her voice was trembling and her eyes were red, "your diary... I saw it."
"Let me warm up your winter, okay?"
Intention: love
