In their second year of high school, after the classes were reshuffled, Qi Jibai met Xie Chuan.
One was like the wind, the other like water.
They were perfectly in sync: guitar and bass could play the same song, and the WeChat messages under their desks concealed feelings neither had confessed.
But some things just couldn't be said.
They pretended not to see each other when they passed in the hallway, and acted as if they hadn't understood when called on in class. Summer was long, but the confession was brief. This is a story of clear-eyed surrender and a push-and-pull taken to the limit, a pure school romance with no grand lessons, just a name they dare not say aloud, and eyes that finally meet.
Theme: Two boys meeting at the best age of their lives, the words they can't bring themselves to say and the feelings they can't conceal, the ripples stirred when wind meets water. Not every crush has to lead somewhere, but every encounter is worth remembering.
