In the second grade of high school, I ran into Jiang Xu's arms, and the sun fell on the small mole on the back of his neck. I hid my secret love for three years, and he drew a check mark for three years.
He held up a light for me during a power outage at night, disinfected me when I fell on the runway, and protected my card that said "side by side" during the Hundred Days Oath. I thought we would stay in Changsha together and go to the future together.
The college entrance examination came to an end, my aspirations were misplaced, and the bottle of orange soda was not given away after all. I thought he chose Qiancheng and not me. Little did I know that in order to protect me, his family froze his aspirations and forced him to go far away.
After six years of separation, we meet again in Changsha. He gave up his studies, fought against his family, and waited for me in the rain all night. I just realized - the playlists on his mobile phone for ten years were all me, and the lock screen was me at seventeen. All the forbearance, leaving, and silence were all protect.
This time, I no longer shy away from it. I don't have to look up to anyone, I am also the light.
The orange soda tastes sweet and the hook ring falls off my finger. After ten years, I still only choose you.
Purpose: To write a two-way redemption based on a ten-year secret love, and to convey equal love and self-growth.
