At the beginning of the story, he said, "I have the answers too. I'll let you copy mine." Chen Yirou didn't understand how he knew that she would give money to her deskmate, who would then let her copy the math test.
At the end of the story: "She gathered her courage and confessed to him on his birthday in 2018. She told herself to stop liking him. After that, she kept taking detours just to catch a glimpse of him in his shop." She sealed away in the depths of her heart the memory of once having loved a boy, afraid of being hurt all over again.
Chen Yirou isn't like a novel's heroine. Novel heroines get good grades and improve through constant hard work, but sadly, none of the things in her life ever went quite so smoothly.
Theme: Keep becoming a better person. Even if no one saves you, you can still let a light shine within yourself.
Having a secret love is too hard, right? It hurts
