Synopsis
In the midsummer classroom of the second year of high school, the camphor breeze blew through the blinds, and Qi Ci's heartbeat began with a light sleep in the afternoon. He was sitting in the last row and his eyes fell on Zhilu, who was sitting by the window in the front row. The boy was timid and reserved by nature, full of possessiveness and jealousy, and never dared to show any signs of it. Whenever he saw her chatting and laughing with her deskmate, he would just stay silent and avoid her, pretending to be cold, for fear of losing his temper, fear of disturbing her, and fear of completely severing the remaining interactions. But Zhilu, who is sensitive and lacks love, needs straightforward preference most. A misunderstanding about a sports camera completely shattered the lingering ambiguity. He refused anyone to borrow money for her and waited for her to take the initiative. However, because of his usual low-pressure silence, she interpreted it as perfunctory and diminishing love. The two fell into a closed loop with no solution: he was jealous and silent, and she backed away from suspicion. The two-way longing for Liuyi briefly recovered, and the long conversation at 22:40 in the middle of the night opened up all the worries. He confessed that he had been holding back his affection for a whole year, and she confessed the passivity, frustration, fear and regret in her heart. She had seriously considered him, but she exhausted all her patience in waiting and finally chose someone who took the initiative day and night. Separated by a window, there are two rows in front and behind. She rushed to the lively fireworks of others, while he stayed behind in the sea of topics and the old heartbeat that no one knew about. There was no quarrel or breakup. This grand youth defeat was only defeated by the timidity of the boy who dared not take a step, the sensitivity of the girl who longed for preference, and the opportunity of youth that was forever missed. There are two paths inside the window, and the deer goes to the wind and clings to the dreams of the past. Concept: The most regrettable thing about youth is never not being in love, but that the two-way love is misaligned. The boy's restrained affection meets the girl's sensitivity that longs for straightforward preference. The two wait passively, doubt each other, refuse to take the first step, and finally exhaust their fate by themselves. The story explains this: Young love is often pure and sincere, but it is easily destroyed by timidity, silence, misunderstanding and internal friction. It teaches people to face their hearts, cherish the present, and run bravely instead of acquiescing to regrets while waiting for a lifetime.
