On the day of the second-year high school class placement, Wen Zhixia noticed Zhou Yanche sitting by the window doing his homework - quiet, cold, and out of tune with his surroundings. He didn't fall in love at first sight, he just thought this person was very nice. No one expected that this ordinary encounter would last for the next three years of their youth.
Wen Zhixia is the kind of person who is kind to others quietly. Every day, he helped Zhou Yanche get a glass of warm water and put it on the corner of the table, walked with him on the night walk after school, and remembered all his exam dates. He hid his love in the trivial daily life, thinking that as long as he stayed with him long enough, the other person would always look back. Zhou Yanche grew up in a cold family, and was instilled in him the life principle of "let everything take its course" since childhood. He was used to receiving, but never knew how to respond proactively. What he gave to Wen Zhixia was always a "hmm" and a "good" - gentle, but distant.
The dinner table fight in the senior year of high school tore everything apart. Wen Zhixia frankly admitted "I like him" in front of her parents, which resulted in her father's anger, her mother's tears, and the broken porcelain bowl on the floor. He carried everything on his own, but Zhou Yanche's parents had already known about it, so they said "just for fun" and let it go indifferently. One bets everything, and the other stands still. Love is exhausted bit by bit in the temperature difference.
After college moved to another place, Wen Zhixia saved up money to go across town to find him, but what he got in exchange was always "too many experiments" and "no attention to it." Festivals are forgotten and expectations are dashed again and again. After three years of hard work and enough disappointment, Wen Zhixia said goodbye decently and quit cleanly.
After losing it, Zhou Yanche felt that the world was falling apart. He overturned twenty years of indoctrinated beliefs and clumsily learned to take initiative, learn to express himself, and learn to be responsible for one person. I sent messages for half a year, saw a psychiatrist, wrote long letters, bought two tickets and took Wen Zhixia to watch the fireworks. He finally changed from passively waiting to actively chasing, making Wen Zhixia look at him again.
At the wedding of sister Wen Zhiyou, the two stood side by side in the spring light. Zhou Yanche said: "Only you can never let nature take its course." Wen Zhixia said: "I have had no way out since my second year in high school."
Is it difficult to collect water? No, it can be recovered by covering it with water. As long as there are still people willing to take the initiative to lend a hand, all the misses can start again next spring.
Purpose: "Love is an active choice rather than a passive wait."
