Until Li Chuan met him.
Li Chuan is quiet, thin and taciturn. He wears white washed old clothes and carries a frayed schoolbag. He lives in poverty and even speaks softly to avoid disturbing others. He is low-key, tolerant, and so sensible that it makes people feel distressed, like a weed growing in a corner that no one cares about.
Everyone felt that they were from two different worlds and would never intersect.
There is no grandeur, no straightforward confession, only the restrained care hidden under the cold appearance - a calm gaze, a quietly extended warmth, and a guard with the utmost restraint. He never made any noise, never came close, and only stayed in a place where no one could see him, leaving all his tenderness to that taciturn young man.
Li Chuan didn't understand this hidden intention and regarded it as an accidental kindness.
And Lu Xuqian guarded the unknown heartbeat in his heart, quietly watching him and protecting him during the long time on campus.
Teenagers from two different worlds, in the cold and quiet years, quietly completed a tender journey that only belonged to them.
Intention: Silent preference, crossing distance, gentle redemption
