Lin Wanxing is seventeen years old, quiet, restrained and never ostentatious.
She is gentle, sensible, and accustomed to accommodating everyone, but she cannot learn to be kind to herself. The repression of her native family, the sensitivity that no one understands, and the delicate and turbulent emotions of adolescence are all shining brightly under her well-behaved appearance. She never complained to anyone or showed her vulnerability. In the noisy and crowded high school campus, she was like a gently falling evening breeze, silent and gentle, but no one could understand the loneliness hidden in her eyes.
It wasn't until she was divided into classes that she met her deskmate Lu Shiyan.
Lu Shiyan is the most eye-catching boy in the school. Cool, self-possessed, with top grades, he is always calm and indifferent, as if everything in the world has nothing to do with him. Others only envy him for his dazzling, smooth and impeccable life, but no one knows that he is also burdened with pressure and shackles that no one knows about. He is used to keeping his emotions closed and carrying everything on his own, never giving anyone a chance to peek into his heart.
Two people who were also accustomed to silence and pretending to be strong quietly approached each other across a desk.
Lin Wanxing could see the exhaustion and loneliness under his cold appearance, and could understand his occasional loss of focus; Lu Shiyan could also see through the sensitivity and restlessness beneath her meekness and obedience, and detect all the grievances she habitually suppressed.
Others may only be able to see their bright and calm side but never understand it, but this also shows that they can see each other and know each other's hidden thoughts.
They are the only ones in each other's youth who are willing to listen patiently and accept them gently.
No need to pretend, no need to show off, no need to hide everything.
They spent countless evenings studying in the evening breeze, they spent quiet moments in silence between classes, and waited for the flowers to bloom in an unnoticed corner.
Lu Shiyan would whisper to her: "You don't have to be sensible forever, and you don't have to hide your worries all your life. I am willing to hear the details of your grievances, your uneasiness, and all your past that no one knows about."
The midsummer of seventeen years old was long and gentle, with cicadas chirping and the evening breeze never stopping.
Two teenagers who lack love and save each other in the darkness catch each other's brokenness and loneliness.
They accidentally discovered that the best love is never a vigorous heartbeat, but all your unspeakable thoughts. There will eventually be someone who is willing to listen carefully and treasure them tenderly.
Youth is long, but fortunately the evening breeze has a period, and fortunately there are people in the rest of my life who are willing to hear the details.
