1.
Midsummer heat burned with the fire of youth.
Lin Ci first met Xu Sidu in the sweltering heat, with cicadas chattering noisily. The boy was playing ball and laughing with his friends. A breeze lifted his light shirt, and stirred her heart.
Unable to forget him, she picked up her pen and drew him on paper.
On the first day of school, Lin Ci happened to glimpse the repeat student sitting in the last row of the classroom. His features were refined and handsome, as if he had stepped out of a painting.
Only later did she realize he had already appeared on the first page of her sketchbook.
Lin Ci had always been insecure, and she knew that a boy as radiant as him would never have much to do with someone like her.
So she buried her fluttering crush deep in her heart, careful not to let a single clue slip.
2.
A secret crush is always awkward and bittersweet.
After the college entrance exam, Lin Ci deleted Xu Sidu's contact information, intending to put an end to this absurd, painful crush.
She never expected to run into him on campus again after starting university.
The girl's ears flushed as she stared at the person who had appeared in her dreams countless times. The long-forgotten ache in her heart overwhelmed her.
"You two know each other?" someone asked.
Xu Sidu said nothing. He raised his eyes and stared at her, only to hear her say, "We don't know each other."
At that moment, the chill in his eyes seemed ready to pierce the person standing before him.
3.
Xu Sidu had fallen for Lin Ci a long time ago.
On the night the college entrance exam ended, he spent nearly an hour carefully composing a confession before finally sending it.
Only to see the red exclamation mark.
Even when they met again later, Lin Ci's answer to him remained impossible to decipher.
Then, one night, he suddenly received a message on WeChat.
"If I'd been brave enough to look you in the eye back then, would we have avoided this regret?"
Perhaps the regret came from the fact that cowards never dare to face what lies between them.
