Secret love is such a game of self-deception. Look for evidence of liking from the other person's every move, but know clearly that most of these evidences cannot withstand scrutiny. A look, a chance encounter, or an ordinary greeting can be given special meaning and become the nutrients that support you to continue this one-sided love.
Duan Cijing is the grandest secret in my youth. It is also a movie in which I know the ending, but I am still addicted to it.
Youth is a silent underground river. I am on the left bank and you are on the right bank. All the love and struggle are turbulent under the water, but they eventually merge into different seas of people.
I am like a satellite locked by gravity, always rotating silently around your world with the same side.
The essence of secret love is a frozen, unresolved state.
Duan Cijing, be happy every day!
Lan Zhipei, nice to meet you!
Concept: Some stories don't need an ending. The encounter itself is complete.
