Ten years later, Xia Camellia met the boy again in the laboratory.
She doesn't remember him. I only remember that when I was a child, there was a fair little boy who was protected by her. He would gasp after running a few steps and blush at every turn. She gave him a blue glass bead and said, "Take this, and you will be mine from now on."
But then he left and never came back.
Fan Xin sat next to her, holding the old iron box in his hand, with "Camellia Glass Beads" written crookedly on the inside of the lid.
He didn't dare tell her that he was that boy. He didn't dare to tell her that he had come back and looked for her but couldn't find her. He didn't dare to tell her that the blue bead had been on her wrist and she no longer recognized him.
He decided to take his time. First adjust the mechanical arm, win the game, stabilize your teammates, and then return the secret of the bead to her.
But there are some things that become harder to hide the longer they are hidden.
Concept: This is a story about "long waiting" and "the courage to dare not speak". Fanxin owed Xia Camellia ten years to say "I'm back", but when he finally stood in front of her, he found that he didn't dare to say it anymore. He chose to start by "being a good teammate first" and wait until the robot was built, the game was won, and she trusted him enough, then he would return the secret of the blue bead to her. But some things cannot be hidden the longer they are hidden. What the story wants to say is: a real reunion is not to remind the other person "it's time for you to remember me", but to make her still willing to reach out to you after getting to know you again.
