[Sensitive, reserved ordinary girl × taciturn, rational top student]
Su Zhixia and Lin Yanchen grew up across the street from each other, childhood friends who spent their long teenage years side by side.
A rumor in high school that neither ever tried to confirm led to a mutual misunderstanding. They kept their secret crushes to themselves and gradually drifted apart.
After the college entrance exams, they went to different cities, and their contact grew less and less frequent.
Years later, when they met again, they finally confessed their youthful feelings, but by then Lin Yanchen had already started a family.
A confession that came too late could not bring back the summers that had passed.
A realistic tragic ending, no getting back together. Read with caution if this bothers you.
Theme: Teenage crushes are often too shy to be spoken aloud. Many missed chances come from not asking that one question.
