Classmate Orange

Many years ago, Xu Suyi loved oranges, and everyone called her Orange.

Back then, the name she heard most often wasn't Orange. It was Chen Yuqing.

People said Chen Yuqing came from a prominent family, excelled in school, was good-natured, and got along with all the boys around him.

But Xu Suyi had a secret crush on him. She wrote him a letter, inviting him to watch the sunset with her.

When the letter was discovered, she was plunged into darkness, listening as he and his classmates casually dealt with it. “What sunset? I'm not going.”

.

They met again on an unfamiliar street. Chen Yuqing had become a tech tycoon, polished in the ways of the world, refined and composed.

Meanwhile, she was immersed in research in a world utterly unrelated to his, with no reason to ever cross paths with him again.

But on a snowy day, Xu Suyi had her phone and wallet stolen and was stranded at the station.

Unable to leave, she found him. In a gentle voice, he coaxed her: “Orange, would you let me invite you to watch the sunset?”

“But...”

To Xu Suyi's surprise, he asked her with a gaze so gentle and sincere: “Will you tell me why you never replied when I wrote back to you in high school?”

Later, one day, Chen Yuqing wiped the messy lipstick from Xu Suyi's lips. His expression was calm, his eyes deep and restrained. “Orange, now that we're together, will you let me take you to watch the sunset?”

The sky is getting late, Orange. Would you let me invite you to watch the sunset?

The sky is getting late, Orange.

Let's watch the sunset together, year after year, and never lose touch.
