Ji Huaiyu is like a black sesame glutinous rice ball soaked in cold water. The exterior is wrapped in layers of hard shells that repel people from thousands of miles away, hiding his true self in a thick black heart. He was used to solving problems and running alone, building high walls with calmness and stubbornness, but he didn't know that the spring breeze had already passed through the cracks and quietly delivered warmth.
Yu Heyang is the most free spirit on campus, shapeless and unfettered. He broke into Ji Huaiyu's world with a bright smile. The sweat on the basketball court, the orange candies shared during class, and the half umbrella we shared on rainy days made the leaves rustle every time he came near. Ji Huaiyu said "Don't meddle in other people's business", but he would secretly remember the other person's preferences and repeatedly trace his name in the corner of the draft paper.
When the young man's thoughts were stretched by the moonlight, Ji Huaiyu finally understood that when the wind comes, even the coldest heart will ripple. The tenderness hidden in the wrong question book and the throbbing hidden in the shade of the trees all tell the same secret - the wind has no shape, but the wind also knows that he has already fallen in love with him hopelessly. The youthfulness and sweetness of two-way secret love compose the most touching chapter on the campus where cicadas are chirping.
Purpose: The images of wind and glutinous rice balls are used as a metaphor for the mutual attraction between teenagers, to show how seemingly different souls break down their defenses when getting along, to resolve each other's loneliness and defensiveness with gentleness and persistence, and to interpret the healing and growth brought about by two-way secret love in youth.
