In September, the back row of seats against the wall was empty for three days.
On the fourth day, Xu Nian came.
Lin Zhi remembered that the sun was very white that day, that she had a tiger tooth when she smiled, and that her brows would wrinkle when she lay down to sleep.
Later, she bought Xu Nian a mung bean popsicle, squatted with her in the dark corridor, and heard her say, "I will be alone when I go back."
Later, someone asked Lin Zhi what she remembered from her three years in high school.
She said: Under the streetlight, she said I was different.
Concept: Two girls met someone when they were seventeen years old, and they were no longer alone.
It's "It turns out you can have a person without having to pretend."
Thinking about it many years later, I only remember her saying under the streetlight:
You are different.
