"The White Space"

The world was a giant blank answer sheet, and I refused to fill it in. " The encounter between top student Pei Xingyao and transfer student Yu Chuan began with a confrontation in the rain that no one witnessed. She is the student president who is loved by all the teachers and students in the school, and always lives perfectly within the framework of expectations; he is a solitary and problematic student, whose math homework is full of complex derivation but stubbornly leaves all the answers blank. Why do you want to help me? " "Because seeing you is like seeing another version of myself - hidden somewhere no one can find me." When Pei Xingyao discovered that Yu Chuan was checking antidepressant drug information in the library, when she caught him secretly tending succulents on the rooftop of the teaching building, when she accidentally saw his notebook recording all the small and beautiful things on campus - the boy who was labeled a "freak" gradually revealed cracks and light that made her heart palpitate. "It was raining the day my mother left, and the last thing she said to me was 'Don't look.' But I looked, and from then on there were only two colors left in the world - the white of pills, and the black of night." Two lonely planets collided unexpectedly in my senior year of high school. She taught him how to survive in an imperfect world, and he taught her how to live for herself and not others. When Pei Xingyao's parents discovered their daughter's association with "problem students", and when Yu Chuan's painting talent was discovered but it triggered a severe anxiety attack, the shadow of those temporarily forgotten realities once again shrouded. "Shall we agree? After graduation, we will escape together to a city with a sea. You will open a studio, and I will open a bookstore and raise a lot of plants." "Okay. But you have to remember, even without me..." In this story of redemption and farewell, no miracles happen. There is only an unfinished plant illustration, a pot of tenaciously growing succulents, and the sentence "The world only took on color after I met you" left on the last page of the diary. Some encounters are not for eternity, but to prove that eternity is not impossible. ——This is a story about how to leave a mark on each other's lives, even if they can only become passers-by in the end. (Because this article is the author's debut work, the writing style is relatively raw, so the core ideas are created by the author, and the writing style is modified by AI) Intention: to be redeemed
