Cheng Yu's world is as quiet as a silent film without sound. The haze of his original family made him learn to curl up into his own shell early and be that "freak". He thought that his youth was destined to be dim, until that summer afternoon when cicadas were chirping noisily, Jiang Shuran crashed into his world like a beam of light breaking into a dark room, with brightness and enthusiasm that could not be missed.
This is a silent secret love that begins inside the "shell". He hid all the turbulent heartbeats in his eyes, in the dusk when they walked side by side, and in the tips of his hair blown by the evening breeze. She was the only bright color in his dark background, the equation that he couldn't solve on his scratch paper, and the extravagant hope that he didn't dare to touch in his timid youth.
The college entrance examination bell rang, and a thousand kilometers away could not stop the young man's burning sincerity. They once thought that as long as they loved each other enough, they could fight against the torrent of reality. However, family changes, failure in the postgraduate entrance examination, and misunderstandings, like a sudden rainstorm, made them miserable.
When we meet again after many years, things have changed and people have changed. He is no longer the young boy who only shrinks in his shell, but has learned to stand upright in the wind and rain. When Jiang Shuran appeared in front of him again, he lowered his head and kicked the stones, seemingly casually saying the confession that had been hidden for many years: "Of course I remember you, you once appeared like a gift in my broken autumn."
This is a story about "shell" and "light".
