At the beginning of their freshman year, Shen Zhiyi and Lin Tingwan became roommates. When Shen Zhiyi's father, Shen Che, sent his daughter off to report, he met Lin Tingwan face to face. It was a very brief encounter, and neither party had any unnecessary words. But at that glance, both of them remembered it.
In the days that followed, Shen Che occasionally appeared on campus as a father. Every contact was as normal as possible: pick-ups from school holidays, winter clothes delivery, open days for parents. The conversation was casual, and the eyes occasionally met and then quickly drifted apart. Nothing happened, but something was happening.
Shen Che's confusion was silent. He loved his daughter more than life, but Lin Tingwan was the first heartbeat he felt after his wife passed away for many years. He hid this feeling deeply, not telling anyone, not even himself. What he does is occasionally appear on campus, take a look at it from a distance, and then leave.
Lin Tingwan was also silent. She was keenly aware of the weight of that gaze and the shock in her heart. But she won't do anything. That was the roommate's father. This identity is like a wall that she will not cross.
The two people just stood there separated from each other by the wall. No one takes a step forward. Just stand.
Purpose: cherish the present moment
