Ruan Xingqi has a secret crush. Nobody knows.
He's a regular at her family's snack shop, and he always orders bubble tea. He never zips up his school uniform, wears an earbud in his left ear, and rides his mountain bike to school while listening to old rock music.
Everywhere he goes, it feels as if the breeze carries the scent of youth.
Then, one evening, he came into the shop with a few friends to catch up on their homework.
When someone asked to copy his math test, he tapped the table and said with a lazy grin, "Call me Dad."
Ruan Xingqi happened to be passing by with a tray. Her hand shook, and she nearly spilled the drinks.
Yu Shu looked up, his gaze settling on her ears, and smiled. "Little sis, why are you blushing?"

The long epic of a secret crush began one midsummer, with cicadas singing without pause.
A girl fell asleep crouched behind the register.
The Chinese passage she had been memorizing lay beneath her palm.
The boy quietly paid for their meal, then turned back before leaving. With his slender wrist, he gently drew the textbook from her hand.
Beside the lines of poetry that had puzzled her, he left several neat, elegant annotations:
"Across the water, she stands so fair; gazing at each other, they cannot speak" is a low-level affection driven by desire between the sexes.
"If love between two people lasts, why must they be together day and night?" is the noble sentiment of giving up one's small family for the greater good, even sacrificing oneself for the great rejuvenation of China.
"Though the raft may come and go, we never meet" is what it means to transcend ordinary emotions and set out on humanity's journey to the stars and beyond.
