"Some feelings are never named but last a lifetime."
The encounter between Huang Yi and Zhou Xianlin started out of an accident - on the first day of school, she knocked away his English homework, but the two accidentally became co-class representatives. She is a funny girl who never fails in geography but can irritate the teacher with her comics. He is a cool academic who wears two watches on his left hand and always has a political degree.
In the third year of junior high school, they fought against Zhu Shirley, the teacher's daughter who spread rumors, and secretly practiced the Christmas carol that was banned in the piano room. He taught her the three-step layup, and she invented the "pretending index" scoring system for him. Everyone can see the specialness between them. Only they stick to the boundary of "good friends", for fear that if they take a step forward, they will lose everything.
After being divided into classes in high school, he secretly organized her geography textbook, and she filled it with sketches during his competition. When Zhou Xianlin received the admission notice to the international class, what Huang Yi filled in and crossed out in his diary was the sentence that he never asked - "Can you please not leave?"
At the class reunion as an adult, she wore a wedding ring on her ring finger, and he wore a suit and ties and spoke politely. It wasn't until his daughter and her son became roommates and the children dug out the yellowed "Pretentiousness Index Record Book" that they discovered that "Huang Yi is an idiot" was written on the back of every page - using the Morse code that Zhou Xianlin was best at in high school.
"We had many opportunities to define our relationship, but we chose silence tacitly."
From the classroom to the ward, from when the jacarandas first bloomed to when the snow fell on their heads, this "friendship" that lasted for thirty years finally became an unfinished naming ceremony on that sunny afternoon with the sound of the electrocardiogram returning to flat.
Intention: To commemorate those missed days and look back at the regret that runs through the heart
