Synopsis
When she was seventeen years old, Lin Zhaoxi met Shen Rang. He is a cold-faced school bully known throughout the school, and he treats everyone as if he is a stranger. And she sits in the front row. She is quiet, well-behaved, and has good grades. She is a good student in the eyes of the teacher. There were six rows of people in between, and after two whole years, he didn't say a word to her. It wasn't until his sophomore year in high school that he finally found a "reasonable" excuse - asking her to make up classes for him. Everyone thought Shen Rang was a piece of ice, but only Lin Zhaoxi knew that this piece of ice was filled with fire. He would hand her a tissue when she sneezed, throw his only umbrella to her on a rainy day, and clumsily weave a rough bracelet and stuff it into her drawer. He said, "Wherever you take the exam, I will take the exam." His tone was as calm as saying that the weather is nice today, but his ears were red. They agreed to take the A University exam together. Lin Zhaoxi thought that life would continue to be sweet like this. But in her senior year of high school, her father's company went bankrupt, and her world collapsed overnight. The house was gone, the savings were gone, and the family moved into a rental house in a village in the city, with an area of 20 square meters and not even a decent table. She began to have trouble eating and sleeping, and her grades slipped from the top five to the thirty-second in grade. She didn't dare to want love anymore. She pushed him away, ignored him, and said, "We won't contact him for the time being." She thought this was the best protection for him - why should a girl from a poor family drag him down? Shen Rang didn't say anything, turned around and left. From the moment we met in the corridor, his eyes never stopped. But what Lin Zhaoxi didn't know was that her meal card would be paid on time every month, her data fee would always be paid in advance, and hand warmers, new school bags, and new clothes with the tags cut off would appear inexplicably in her drawer. She didn't even know that on a winter night that was more than ten degrees below zero, there was a person riding a bicycle through half of the city. He stood under the streetlight below her house, looking up at the light in her room. He stood there for several hours. Until Zhao Mingyuan spread everything out in front of her. "He has been standing downstairs in your house for half a year, and his hands are cracked by the cold. I persuaded him to go back, but he said - she is not asleep yet, and I am worried." At that moment, Lin Zhaoxi understood that some people don't say anything, but give you their whole heart. Six years later, under the plane tree on the campus of University A, Shen Rang put a silver ring on her ring finger. He said: "I will never say nice things in this life, but I will hand you a tissue when you sneeze, stay with you when you are afraid of thunder, and buy you milk tea when you can't write an article." The rain stopped outside the window, and the sunlight fell on the simple ring and the uneaten mint candy on the table—— That was the best thing the seventeen-year-old boy had ever given her. In this world, there is always a ray of light coming for you. It may come a little late, but please believe that it is always there. It's like he's always there. Intention: In the deepest valley, meet the truest love; in the best years, become the best of us.
