On the first day of the high school sophomore year, Xiang Qinian's basketball hit Yuan'an's table.
The water bottle was overturned, the ink was smeared, and I wish the ending of the novel An had just finished was gone.
The whole class is waiting for Yuan An to get angry. He is the first in the grade. He is polite and cold, and lives his life like a manual. How can such a person be fine when his things are destroyed?
Yuan An raised his head and glanced at Xiang Qinian.
"Pay it to me."
Just two words, neither light nor heavy.
Xiang Qinian was still smiling at that time and thought this person was interesting. He didn't expect that he would remember these two words for so long.
He lost a notebook and asked An to confiscate it: "What's the use of paper if the content is gone."
He paid for a bottle of sparkling water, but he didn't drink it in front of his face, but put it into the deepest part of his school bag.
Later, he lost a summer. From the classroom to the basketball court, from the rooftop to the seaside, from the age of seventeen to beyond.
Yuan An later thought, that look was not without anger.
He was watching an "exception" break into his life for the first time.
Only later did Xiang Qinian realize that the phrase "compensate me" was not asking for compensation at all - it was saying "you have to take responsibility".
What he owed him was unfinished.
He didn't want to pay it all back either.
When he was seventeen years old, he asked Xiang Qinian under the stars: "What wish did you make?"
He smiled.
"Bless you."
Concept: "Sparkling Water Summer" Concept
May An use order to fight the world, and Xiang Qinian use looseness to protect himself. Good love is not about turning the other person into yourself, but about letting each other see another possibility. Everyone is waiting for an "exception", the person who allows you to be less perfect and still be loved.
