"Paranoid?" I don't think so.
The summer when Cheng Yuan was admitted to Nancheng No. 1 Middle School, he thought his life would be on the upswing from then on.
The results of the preliminary examination came out, 657. There are 845 students in the whole grade.
She stood in front of the bulletin board for a long time, staring at the name at the top, and said to herself: One day, I will get into the top 50. Then someone spoke softly behind her——
"I wish you success."
That's Leng Yu. First in grade. He is gentle and polite to everyone, and his smile is like the sun in an autumn afternoon.
But Cheng Yu'an slowly discovered that the top student who was always helping others explain their topics had emotions that others couldn't read. He smiled and said "It's okay" to everyone, but she always felt that there was something hidden under that smile.
Cheng Yu'an started from the 657th place and worked his way up one paper at a time. And Leng Yu stands at the top, calm on the surface, but sinking inch by inch on the inside - the coldness of his family, the absence of his parents, and the unseen abyss are pulling him towards the illusion of perfection that he desperately wants to maintain.
One wants to climb up. One is sinking.
They bumped into each other halfway.
Later, Cheng Yuan learned that Leng Yu said "I wish you success" in front of the bulletin board that day -
Not just to her.
He also said it to himself.
Cute, hard-working and positive little hamster & big fox who is hot on the outside and cold on the inside
"I just hope that we can always be together."
Intention: No matter how weak the light is, it can illuminate the abyss of another person
