Lin Wanqing always thought that Xu Zhiyuan was just an old friend she had known for many years.
They went to the same school in junior high school and were in the same class in high school, and they were roommates for a while by accident. Xu Zhiyuan didn't talk much at that time, and the cuffs of his school uniform were always washed white. He would often fetch water for her, accompany her on duty, and move her unfinished papers toward him after evening self-study.
Later, arts and science were divided into classes, and they were no longer on the same path.
But Lin Wanqing could always see him playing badminton at the door of his class. The young man was covered in sweat from running, and the racket made a crisp sound as it hit the concrete floor. He never said why he came, and she didn't ask.
After the college entrance examination, the two failed to enter the same university. One is in the east of Zhengzhou and the other is in the west of Zhengzhou. We rarely meet, but our chats never stop. Later, she went to Hangzhou and he stayed in Zhengzhou. From sex to WeChat, from school uniforms to work badges, they grew up separately and remained silent.
Many years later, Lin Wanqing was urged by her family to go on a blind date and asked him jokingly: "If I really get married, will you come to the wedding banquet?"
Xu Zhiyuan returned after a long absence.
"I might not be able to come."
"Why?"
"Because I never thought about seeing you marry someone else."
At that moment, Lin Wanqing discovered belatedly——
It turns out that there is a person who, since he was seventeen years old, has hidden his love in every road trip, every good night, and every unspoken reunion.
Chunshan was late, but fortunately they still had time.
Concept: Some likes come early but express them late. I hope that everyone who lives seriously and loves clumsily can learn to express and respond in the long years.
