Gentle, graceful girl & laid-back, sharp-tongued boy
During a third-grade open class, Ji Jinglan saw her raise her hand to answer a question, just as the sunlight caught the tips of her upturned hair.
At that moment, he heard his own heartbeat.
For the next seven years, they attended the same school but were in different classes. He could always find her in the crowd during morning exercises, pretend to run into her in the library, and secretly leave her favorite milk in her desk.
Song Xueying's best friend, Xu Hua, had known all along, but chose to keep quiet.
Because "some crushes need time to bloom."
In their second year of middle school, Ji Jinglan had to transfer for certain reasons.
Before he left, he slipped a letter into Song Xueying's desk, but in the end, he did not dare sign it. The letter was never delivered. He sighed and decided to lock it away in the deepest part of his drawer.
On the first day of high school, Song Xueying walked into her new classroom just as Ji Jinglan looked up. The moment their eyes met, he smiled.
On the day they reunited, he wrote in his diary: "At last, my spring is about to begin."
This time, Ji Jinglan decided not to stay silent. In the spring of their senior year, he finally found the courage to give her the letter he had never dared to deliver.
"Song Xueying, I have liked you since that open class in third grade."
After reading the letter, Song Xueying looked up and saw the boy trembling nervously in the distance. She suddenly remembered what her best friend Xu Hua had once said: "Some people are worth turning around to look at."
Years later, at their wedding, surrounded by joyful celebration, Ji Jinglan looked at Song Xueying beside him and thought: "This unrequited love finally got the happiest ending."
