Silent and introverted liberal arts male protagonist Lu Ting × extremely rational female protagonist Jiang Yan
The inkstone is made of stone. A stone is a hard, cold, and heavy thing. The inkstone is placed on the desk. It is rubbed by ink and touched repeatedly by the pen tip, but it does not hurt. It just takes over and then goes silent.
Lu is land. A ting is a small flat area in the water. Putting these two words together, they are repeated and doubly certain - he is the shore, the land, and the person who remains.
Jiang Yan's "yan" has the same pronunciation as "yan". Geese are migratory birds. They fly south every autumn and return north in spring.
Lu Ting's "ting" has the same pronunciation as "listening". His destiny is to listen. Ting is silent. When the water passes through it, it does not speak. After the water drained away, it did not speak.
Inkstone and ting, they are essentially the same thing - hard, heavy, and not painful. So when they got closer, there was no sound. When a stone touches a stone, it makes no sound. They will just sit next to each other in silence. Then separate. Then one stone left and another stayed.
One is the flowing river and the other is the immobile shore.
Jiang Yan writes about thousands of sails passing by, and everywhere he writes is Tingzhou.
Concept: Two teenagers who are similar in nature but choose different paths, during their three years in a key high school, see and influence each other in a silent way, and eventually become an indelible trace in each other's lives.
