In the summer of 2010, the chirping of cicadas made the sun hot. When 17-year-old Lin Chu walked into the gate of Pi County No. 6 Middle School, he never thought that he would fall on Fu Mingyan.
He is the popular senior in Class 8, Grade 2, second in grade. He has clean eyebrows and a smile that can make half the girls in the playground excited. Lin Chu was just the most inconspicuous person in the crowd, but she became his little crush the moment she caught a glimpse of the name tag on his chest. She secretly saved the bottles of mineral water he drank, and filled her drafts with his name. Even the side of his face when he was joking with his friends could make her blush.
She thought it was a secret that belonged only to her, until one day she saw him handing a love letter to Zhang Qingwan, the top student in grade.
It turns out that his gentleness and dazzlingness were never prepared for her.
Lin Chu swallowed the words "I like you" back in his throat, like holding an unripe sour plum in his mouth. His teeth were so sore that he didn't even have the courage to spit it out. On the day after Fu Mingyan finished his college entrance examination, she hid behind the teaching building and watched him and Zhang Qingwan walk out of the school side by side. The sunlight stretched their shadows very long, and her secret love ended silently on that day.
She disappeared as if she had evaporated from the world. No one knew which city she went to or which university she went to. Only Jiang Ye, who had been standing behind her, quietly followed her footsteps.
It wasn't until 2017 that she saw the news of Fu Mingyan's marriage in her circle of friends. In the photo, he was smiling and smiling, and the person standing next to him was indeed Zhang Qingwan.
In the summer of 2018, she received a text message from an unknown number, with only one line:
"Lin Chu, has your agreement been fulfilled?"
The sender is Jiang Ye's comrade-in-arms.
"He died in the line of duty"
He was 25 years old that year and had been in love with her for 8 years.
It turns out that she used to be someone else's world, but she only focused on looking up at the stars that were not her own.
This is a secret love that no one knows about since the age of 17. It is also about misses, regrets and too late to say "I like you"
