Fan Xiaoying has done two cowardly things in her life.
First, I had a crush on my classmate Lu Xinyu in high school. I hid my love for three whole years and didn't dare to say it until I graduated.
Second, I saw him again after many years at the blind date table. Even though my heartbeat had skipped a beat, I still pretended to be calm and calm while negotiating terms, cooperation, and how to implement the AA system after marriage.
Lu Xinyu was calm, pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled gently: "Fan Xiaoying, long time no see."
Yes, long time no see.
The boy whose ears turned red when he explained math problems to her was now the youngest professor in the university.
It had been so long that they had secretly had a sweet campus love, and then said goodbye in tears at the airport because of their respective futures.
It had been so long that she thought that relationship had ended long ago, but the moment she saw him, she realized that the name in her heart had not been erased at all.
I received my certificate on the third day of the blind date, and the progress was ridiculously fast.
Fan Xiaoying thought, as adults, everyone gets what they need. Anyway, they know the basics, so they can make do with it.
Until she woke up in the middle of the night one day and found Lu Xinyu staring at her, her eyes as gentle as if she was drowning.
"Fan Xiaoying," his voice was hoarse, "have you never known whether it was you who chased me first, or whether I liked you first?"
"..."
"It was earlier."
He paused.
"Much sooner than you think."
Fan Xiaoying suddenly remembered that in the winter of her sophomore year in high school, she secretly slipped a note into his textbook, wrote four words and then pulled it back.
Where did that note go?
She rummaged through all the old books and finally found it in Lu Xinyu's safe -
It was crumpled, covered with scotch tape, and buried under the real estate certificate and bankbook.
The handwriting is blurry, but you can still see it clearly:
"I like you."
Concept: Not all crushes end in vain. Some people hide it in their hearts for three years and still pick it up on a blind date ten years later. At the age of twenty, we let go for the future; at the age of thirty, I risk everything for you. It turns out that true love can withstand separation and reunion - the person who has lived in my heart since high school later became the rest of my life.
