"You are the sun. I can only chase after you, never keep you for myself."
A seventeen-year-old sunflower wrote in her diary.
[Warning: Extra-sweet side couple]
Fang Yinnian x Shen Qingli
"Fang Yinnian of Jiangzhou High School wins first place in the city physics competition." Shen Qingli stared at his photo in the article, thinking the boy looked so aloof.
A misunderstanding led to an argument the first time they met. Then, as fate would have it, an accident in a dead-end alley left one of them injured and brought them closer. Making pottery together and exchanging feelings through bracelets set the first stirrings of love in motion.
Shen Qingli would never know:
He skipped an international training camp and carried a cake through a storm across three provinces, all to celebrate her eighteenth birthday.
Fang Yinnian would never know:
She smashed her piggy bank and spent every penny she'd earned doing pottery commissions on a ticket for train 518 to Jiangzhou, all to tell him, "I like you."
The genius who once said, "Training camp is a waste of time," signed up for the Beicheng special training program of his own accord. All because Shen Qingli was in Beicheng.
Every month, he brought her physics problem books, while she saved up a jar full of high-speed rail ticket stubs.
On Fang Yinnian's eighteenth birthday, a mysterious package arrived: a blue-and-white porcelain bowl engraved with "Happy birthday, top student Fang!"
[Warning: Major angst]
"When the sunflower learns to grow with its back to the sun, her sun falls in a midsummer without morning mist."
HE or BE? Judge for yourself through your tears.
