Lin Weixi always believes that most of the heartbeats in this world are misunderstandings.
Because that day was so embarrassing, the other person's extended hand was particularly gentle;
Because the evening was so beautiful that day, his smile looked like he liked it.
She classifies these as situational catalysts.
It's hormones, it's the atmosphere, it's the girl's heart.
It has nothing to do with him anyway.
Until that person shows up again and again.
Playground, express delivery station, library, the same study room——
Is this school so small?
She decided to verify it: If she met again, she would use WeChat. If it was a misunderstanding, she would stop the loss in time.
But——
He didn't give her a chance to verify.
Because he said——
"I've been waiting for you."

Liang Jingyu did not deny that he had some thoughts.
After all, if you believe in fate, it exists. If you don't believe it, just create it yourself.
So he started running into her.
Once, twice, three times...
Until she finally walked towards him.
He won't tell her -
What she thought was fate was that he happened to pass by him, which he had silently rehearsed countless times.

Then he disappeared.
Five years. No explanation, no goodbye.
It was winter when Lin Weixi saw Liang Jingyu again.
At the opening reception, she was present as a reporter and he was present as a co-illustrator.
She walked among the crowd holding a champagne glass, smiling appropriately and greeting appropriately.
He stood on the other side of the exhibition hall, surrounded by several curators and talking. He looked across the crowd and looked at her lightly.
Someone coaxed him to toast her.
Liang Jingyu picked up the wine glass and said gently and gracefully, "Thank you for your hard work, Reporter Lin."
Even the title has been changed.
Lin Weixi lowered his eyes and drank the entire glass of wine, the spicy taste burning from his throat to the bottom of his stomach.

At the celebration banquet, someone handed Liang Jingyu a cigarette.
He held it between his fingers and occasionally turned it, just like he used to turn a pen in the library.
Lin Weixi sat diagonally across from him, her eyes passing between his fingers.
It doesn't last but a moment.
As if he had been burned, he pressed the unlit cigarette into the ashtray.
Late at night, he sent her downstairs to the hotel.
Lin Weixi turned around to leave, but her wrist was grabbed.
He buried his face in the crook of her neck, trembling slightly, and seemed to be begging every word:
"It was then and it is now."
"All my efforts are used to get closer to you."
"I'm sorry... Can you look back at me again?"
Lin Weixi did not look back.
The night wind passed between the two of them, making the five years of silence rattle.
After a long time, she spoke softly:
"Liang Jingyu, we all owe each other an explanation."
But he has been waiting for this sentence for too long.
When she was finally willing to look back——
Even if it's just for an explanation.

You were the first domino I knocked down. Before I met you, I didn't know that an inadvertent collision could make my whole heart fall.
All my heartbeats from now on are related to you.
