Green plums are sweetest when they're ripe. It's the same with love: it's most beautiful when you confess your feelings and get an answer. But what doesn't change is that green plums are the same fruit whether they're unripe or ripe, just as love is beautiful whether it's secret or out in the open.
The most heartbreaking thing isn't having a secret crush as a student. It's when he openly favors you and you don't realize why, only noticing it when you've already parted ways.
That year, a girl who knew nothing of such things watched the boy in front of her secretly writing something. She leaned closer and saw a big chart on his workbook. Its title read: "How much I like the girls in our class." In the box for the girl he liked most were two big red characters: "Cheng Yun."
Perhaps Qin Hui didn't know what love was either. He only knew that wherever Cheng Yun was, he felt happier.
In high school, Cheng Yun looked at Qin Hui's QQ Space. Without exception, it was filled with emotional quotes. When she first decided to add him, she'd already heard that he had a girlfriend. But she added him anyway, as if betting on that tiny glimmer of hope, hoping that once Qin Hui had her contact information, he would remember all the little moments they had shared and feel even the slightest stir of emotion.
