"Jiang Yuan, the succulent on your windowsill is dying."
"... It's none of your business."
"But I insist on taking care of it."
Seventeen-year-old Jiang Yuan lives like an isolated island. Her parents work outside all year round, and there is only her footsteps in the empty house. She was used to building high walls with indifference until Xu Shi moved into the house opposite - the girl who always loved to lie on the window sill and shout at her, like a ray of unreasonable sunshine, shining into her gloomy life.
Xu Shi was not afraid of Jiang Yuan's cold face. She would force Jiang Yuan to give her an umbrella on rainy days; secretly stuff her a hot rice ball when Jiang Yuan forgot to eat breakfast; and even stubbornly light up the lamp opposite her to accompany her until dawn when Jiang Yuan was studying at his desk late at night. Jiang Yuan gradually discovered that this seemingly heartless girl would stare at photos of her father late at night and force herself to smile when her mother was ill. What frightened her even more was that her heart, which had been frozen for a long time, started to feel hot for someone.
When Xu Shi's heartfelt love letter was accidentally discovered by her mother, and when Jiang Yuan's father suddenly wanted to pick her up and leave, the hasty farewell ended in a heartbreaking quarrel. "You are always escaping!" Xu Shi's tears fell to the ground, shattering the calmness Jiang Yuan could barely maintain.
Three years later, on the university campus, Jiang Yuan received new students as a student union cadre. When she looked up and saw the girl standing in front of her, the registration form in her hand suddenly fell to the ground. "Name?" She asked mechanically, her voice too dry to be like her own. "Xu Shi." The other party answered simply and neatly, but his eyes were so complicated that her heart trembled.
It turns out that time can change a lot - Xu Shi cut his hair short and Jiang Yuan learned to smile; Xu Shi realized his dream of becoming a doctor and Jiang Yuan chose psychology. But some things never change, such as the girl who is always shining in my memory, and the longing hidden in my heart that I dare not express.
"This time," Jiang Yuan mustered up the courage to look Xu Shi in the eyes, "it's me who will walk towards you."
