Jiang Wei has a habit of not closing the curtains.
During her three years of high school, she stood behind the curtain every night and watched Shen Zhixing walking under the street lamp. His shadow was stretched by the light, extending all the way to her window sill, like an unfinished sentence.
She never opened the curtains.
Seven years later at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, she met him at the end of the corridor. When he stood on stage and talked about "The Boundary of Emotional Computing," his ears still turned red.
He said: "Can you show me your book first?"
She said: "It depends on your mood."
Zhou Mian asked her: "What are you afraid of?"
Lin Huaixu asked him: "What are you waiting for?"
She said: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't."
He said: "What I'm afraid of is that she didn't choose me back then and she won't choose me now."
There are things you don't say, not because you don't want to say them. It's because after saying it, you have to face an answer that you can't bear.
As for some questions, it took her seven years before she finally dared to ask herself——
"If he had said it back then, how would you have responded?"
Intention: Some people don't like it, but they like it so much that they don't know how to get close to it. Some choices are not made but recognized. But there are some things that are better said later than never said at all.
