Lin Zhiqiu is a good girl who is accustomed to pleasing everyone in the crowd. She has a sensitive and delicate mind. She always hides her grievances and anxieties quietly in her heart. She gives in to everything, is afraid of causing trouble to anyone, and always pretends to be calm and stable. Everyone else envied her peace of mind, but no one saw the internal friction that surged when she was alone.
Jiang Xu lives alone, is cold and relaxed, and stays away from all the excitement of the class. He doesn't like to be gregarious, and he never cares about the eyes of others. Everyone said that he was withdrawn and difficult to approach. He was the only one who could always see through the embarrassment hidden by others quietly.
A test paper scattered during class was the first real intersection between the two. He softly told her, who was flustered and embarrassed, that there was no need to worry, and quietly absorbed all her embarrassment.
Countless mornings and evenings followed, and the distance between the front and back rows gradually shortened. In classrooms with noisy cicadas, corridors filled with light and shadow of sycamore trees, and in the evenings when they walk home alone, they slowly understand the softness under each other's shells.
One is tight and cautious, the other is relaxed, quiet and introverted, standing at the opposite ends of youth. During the boring and depressing time of preparing for final exams, they healed each other's sensitivity and loneliness, and completed a long-term growth and healing. There is no vigorous throbbing, only the small, gentle, and slowly approaching heartbeats of ordinary people in adolescence.
Intention: Accept one's own sensitivity and insecurity, heal each other with contradictory personalities, learn to accept oneself relaxedly, treat others gently and kindly in ordinary youth, and record the delicate and true adolescent growth of ordinary people.
