Lin Zhiyin is recognized as the light of the whole school.
Number one in grade, president of the student union, good-looking and cheerful. She rejected many people - she was open-minded and never sloppy. Everyone feels that such a girl should be matched with someone equally radiant.
Lu Shian was a shadow in the corner.
He talks very little and has a low sense of presence. The only advantage is that he is tall and can only be seen when playing basketball. He has been secretly in love with Lin Gardenia since the first day of school in his second year of high school. But he didn't say anything, didn't come close, and didn't disturb. Because he felt that light would not shine on shadows.
Later, the badminton hit the ceiling, the basketball drew an arc, the milk in the library was always warm, and the umbrella on rainy days always tilted towards her. On the day she passed out on the playground, he held her and ran across the entire campus, letting everyone see for the first time that a shadow could run very fast, and it was too late to hide his thoughts.
"I won't let you lose."
This was the first time he had the courage to say it to her.
And she spent two years waiting for him to finish saying this.
——
From the first meeting on the badminton court, to the tacit cooperation in the basketball game; from doing questions side by side in the library, to holding an umbrella together on rainy nights; from looking at each other from afar across more than forty names on the red list, to standing side by side with nine points missing after the college entrance examination - this is a story about "deserving".
He feels like he's not good enough.
She spent two years convincing him that he was never good enough.
Purpose: Secret love is not humble, it is about making yourself better until you are worthy of the sentence "I like you".
