The desks in Huai'an No. 1 Middle School are piled with test papers for the daily small test and the weekly big test.
Shen Jiantan, who is cold, dignified and comes from a well-off family, meets Jiang Yu, a transfer student who is quiet and docile, and whose cheeks bulge like a hamster when he eats. After tying for first place in a game, they became tablemates by the window. They submitted papers in advance for the midday quiz together and shared a warm breakfast in the morning light of the carriage. The young man's thoughts quietly grew wildly in the tip of his pen and his eyes. His heart was obviously moved, but it was hidden in the youth full of the smell of ink.
Young people like to be clean and fragile, but reality is everywhere, misunderstandings abound, and they can't help themselves. The two of them suddenly separated when they were closest to each other.
The separation lasted for seven years.
Seven years is enough time for a boy to grow into an adult, enough time for wounds to scab, enough time to suppress a heartbeat into an old scar that the heart dares not touch.
When they met again, the lights of the city were noisy. They were no longer the teenagers who could only do questions side by side. But the moment they looked at each other, all the silence and longing collapsed.
Time destroys the recklessness of youth, but it does not destroy the love that has been hidden throughout youth.
Just like the words hidden in the hearts of countless people——
"The heartbeat of a young man is like the branches and leaves of the sycamore tree that grow crazily in midsummer. When the wind blows, many years pass."
Separated for seven years, reunited once again.
The missed time, the unspoken thoughts, the deep feelings hidden in the test papers and years,
Eventually, after meeting again, I will start writing again and never retract the book.
Intention: After reading "So-and-so", I fell in love with writing
