At the beginning of her freshman year of high school, Ran Yan was one of the top five students in her grade. She was quiet and self-disciplined, but had a boyfriend who was cold and perfunctory to her. In her loneliness, she quietly noticed Jiang Qingyuan beside her.
He had poor grades and slept in class, but he would clumsily pass the scratch paper to her when she was stuck with a problem; he would silently follow her behind her when she was caught in the rain; and he would comfort her in the most straightforward way when she was sad.
Ran Yan's love is not vigorous, but gentle day after day.
She would quietly organize her notes and put them on his desk before he went to bed in class;
When he is criticized by the teacher, he will silently give him a glass of warm water;
When he is in a bad mood, he will stay by his side quietly, not disturbing, just accompanying him.
She used the most gentle way to pry his heart open bit by bit.
She plucked up the courage to confess her love, but was rejected by Jiang Qingyuan: "Let's be brothers, it's best this way."
Ran Yan did not give up and still accompanied him silently.
She didn't know that Jiang Qingyuan had already been quietly moved by her tenderness.
He began to care about her emotions, the distance between her and others, and whether she still liked others.
He even began to secretly study hard for her, wanting to get closer to her.
But, he was late.
Ran Yan's love gradually cooled down after being rejected again and again and treated as a "brother".
She quietly put away the love hidden in her heart, no longer taking the initiative or expecting it.
On graduation day, the wind in the playground was very cold.
Jiang Qingyuan looked at Ran Yan's back as he turned away, and finally understood that what he had lost was the girl who once had his heart and eyes full of him.
The most regretful thing in youth is not that we never met, but that I liked you, but you only regarded me as a brother; by the time I liked you, you were already gone.
Those unspoken words, those heartbeats hidden in the details, eventually became an unwarranted parting.
Concept: The most painful thing in youth is not that we have never been loved, but that we are all missing out and losing the person we should cherish the most.
