In the midsummer when cicadas are chirping, the trajectories of teenagers quietly intersect between the desks. Han Qingyan was the kind of academic master with a cool aura, and he always had an unquestionable certainty when his pen tip crossed the test paper; Fang Mingxuan was like a little sun, his eyes filled with light when he smiled, but when he couldn't solve a problem, he would sneak up to Han Qingyan and hand him a candy.
From the initial fight over a physics question, to sharing a pair of headphones to listen to the radio before evening self-study, to exchanging notebooks filled with goals on the rooftop - the word "Peking University" was their tacit agreement, and it became a secret hidden on the back of the draft paper and repeatedly traced with pencils.
The pressure of senior year is like an airtight rain, and they are each other's umbrella. Han Qingyan would help Fang Mingxuan organize his collection of wrong questions and mark the carelessness he always made with a red pen; Fang Mingxuan would take Han Qingyan, who always stayed up late, to run on the playground, watching the sunset stretch the shadows of the two of them. Those unspoken cares are hidden in the warm water passed to us, hidden under the street lights we walked side by side, and hidden in the vow to "go to Beijing together".
On the day when the admission notices arrived at the same time, the wind from Weiming Lake seemed to blow to them in advance. Han Qingyan looked at the dancing light in Fang Mingxuan's eyes and said softly: "It's not just the four years of Yanyuan." Fang Mingxuan smiled and bumped his shoulder, and the sun fell on the hands of the two of them - from the school uniform to the future, they had already written each other's names into every page of the rest of their lives.
Purpose: With the two-way rush in youth as the core, it not only writes the growth trajectory of two teenagers striving side by side for the common ideal (to be admitted to Peking University), but also shows the support and transformation on the way to pursue their dreams; it also hides the quiet growth of teenagers' thoughts, integrates ignorant emotions into firm promises for the future, and finally settles on the warm idea of "ideals and love share the same journey" - a good relationship means each other becomes a better version of themselves, and works together to make a distant place a common home.
