Shi Ling has a habit that she doesn't even notice - when others are speaking, she will tilt her head slightly and listen carefully.
Xie Zhen noticed. I noticed it from the first meeting.
In her junior year of college, two groups of people had a dinner together. She asked, "Look what I'm doing." He said, "You're listening." She smiled. He remembered.
Later, he gave umbrellas and water, and spent countless afternoons sitting on the third floor of the library. She received anonymous books, drank inexplicable coffee, opened the curtains on a snowy night, and saw him standing downstairs.
But he didn't chase. She was waiting for herself to be ready, and he was waiting for her to be ready.
Three years.
She went to graduate school and he worked. She had a suitor who came and went. She put away her thoughts about him and told herself that "youth should enjoy freedom."
He stood not far away but said to his friend: "She has the right to choose freely."
Later on the day of her blind date, he was drunk. She went to pick him up, and he pulled her and said, "I'm so useless." She took him home and stayed overnight.
The next morning, she asked him: "Do you remember what you said yesterday?"
He said he remembered.
He said: "Because the way you tilt your head to listen to others is very cute. Thank you Zhen for listening when you are willing to listen."
She cried.
It turns out that what she wanted was never earth-shattering, but someone who could see her.
From the age of 21 to 24, three years.
She waited.
This is a story about "waiting". He waited for her to be ready, and she waited for herself to grow up. Three years later, they were finally by each other's side.
There was someone beside the pillow, and there was a whisper in my ear.
Concept: True love is not about possessing, it is about seeing. I saw the other person's habits that I didn't even notice, the sensitivity she hid behind her "lightness", and her need for freedom and companionship. Then spend three years, standing somewhere not far or near, waiting for her to be ready to walk towards him
