[Working hard on the backlog. I'll start posting again in a while~]
1.
First love is a scene scented with camphor.
Green shadows by the window, cicadas singing in summer, an old ceiling fan rattling overhead.
The boy's pen scratched on without pause, each sound striking Xiao Fei's heart before she could guard against it.
But when they meet again, everything goes wrong. The only image she ever leaves him is of herself at her most disheveled.
Xiao Fei thinks miserably that Xia Chengqi must hate rough girls.
2.
Xia Chengqi remembers clearly how hot it was on the day of the class placement exam, and how a strange girl sat behind him.
A huge piece of toilet paper was stuck to her forehead, smudged with ink from a gel pen like a talisman.
Xia Chengqi sneaked a laugh. It was kind of funny, but also...
pretty cute.
Love at first sight + mutual unrequited love
"Xiao Fei from Class 2, Senior Year, don't hide in the restroom and cry. Come back and go over the questions you got wrong. I'll wait for you."
