[A free-spirited girl with a changeable style × a carefree, sunny boy]
1.
Lin Yanzhi seems easygoing and sometimes rather boisterous, but in truth, she is a deeply sensitive person.
She overanalyzes every little change in your tone. In a crowd, she quietly watches everyone’s expressions and moods, and the moment she senses someone is uncomfortable, she steps in to smooth things over.
When she sees a friend, a classmate she barely knows, or even a stranger feeling down, she never hesitates to sit beside them and offer comfort. Perhaps because she has experienced loneliness herself whenever she feels low, she never wants anyone else to go through the same thing.
She is the sort of person who shines like the sun. And yet, this wonderful girl fell for an exceptional but rather chuunibyou boy in middle school. If she had to sum up her feelings for him in one sentence, it would be: “I once found a beam of light, then returned it to the sun at dusk.” She had him, and then she lost him.
2.
He Wen had a happy family and excellent grades. In middle school, he was not especially handsome, but he was exceptionally refined-looking.
By a twist of fate, they became deskmates. Back then, Lin Yanzhi was a lively little girl. The girls all liked handsome, bad-boy types, but Lin Yanzhi alone liked a refined boy like He Wen.
They were both rather expressionless, and when their faces were blank, they seemed aloof and hard to approach. So each thought the other was cold and difficult to get along with. But after spending a few days together, they began to see each other differently.
Expressionless, but easy to get along with.
A little over a month of getting to know each other brought the two former deskmates closer. The first stirrings of young love took root in their hearts.
3.
Youth always leaves regrets behind. It was a pity that, in the prime of their lives, they met the right person at the wrong time.
The seed buried in the boy’s heart took root and sprouted, and at last, in eighth grade, He Wen confessed his feelings to Lin Yanzhi. Their love was then at its purest. But that happiness did not last long. During the summer vacation before ninth grade, a misunderstanding drove them apart, and soon afterward, something happened to Lin Yanzhi’s family, too.
When summer vacation ended, He Wen planned to give them both some time to cool off, then apologize and make up when they met. But they never got to meet. All he received was news that Lin Yanzhi had transferred schools. He thought she had transferred because she never wanted to see him again, so he stopped trying to contact her.
