[Slightly broken growth system intp in the lower year × Kochi Tsundere in the upper year (mbti secret)]
Shen Yanwei thought she was just a meeting gift and gave it to someone she shouldn't have given it out of anger - the black tea that was supposed to be given to her tutor ended up in the hands of music professor Yin Xingheng. She didn't expect that this inadvertent mistake would become the starting point for looking back repeatedly in the next two years.
Yin Xingheng, who has gray curly hair and speaks with a vague sense of distance, always appears quietly when she is in the most embarrassing moment. He would remember the words she mentioned casually, speak for her calmly in front of others, and say "body comes first" in an understatement when she was sick, but when she mustered up the courage to speak her mind, he would only respond with a long silence.
This is a story that wanders on the boundary of identity - there is no vigorous confession, only the approach that is hesitant to speak again and again, a cup of tea that changes again and again, and an undercurrent that spans two years and is carefully collected. Shen Yanwei recorded every detail of the relationship in her usual, almost rational way: who stayed for an extra minute, whose tone softened for a moment, and whose silence contained some unspoken answer.
Miracles have appeared here, in the past, and now, but what about the future?
She knew that this relationship had a paradoxical undertone from the beginning - the closer she got, the more clearly she understood that there were some boundaries that no one would ever cross.
"The Black Tea Paradox" is written for the words that have not been said in the past two years, and the cup of tea that has not been finished yet.
Intention: The most precious thing in this world is never possession, but having been truly cherished.
