That summer, Dandelion heard all the unspoken confessions
In the midsummer after the college entrance examination, Fei Xiaorong returned to the institution where he had tutored to teach, and met Hu Jiaming, a first-year high school student. He remembered the problem-solving skills she taught her three years ago, but he deliberately wrote her name wrong: "Fei Xiaonong?" She corrected him, tapping her fingertips on the yellowed page, while he drew a dandelion in the corner of the draft paper, its hairs as fine as stardust.
She stayed up late to sort out her grammar notes and wrote "For the boy who always looks at the stars" on the title page. He took the thick folder and found that the key points were marked with small rockets, and he drew shooting stars next to each completed task, as if to say: Look, I am chasing you.
During the rehearsal of the sports meeting, the moment the basketball flew toward her, he jumped up to catch it. The smell of lime-flavored laundry detergent mixed with the hot summer wind. She found that his "Celestial Illustrated Book" contained photos from last year's sports meeting. She was circled in the center of Andromeda with a red pen and marked "My Alpha Star."
In an empty classroom, dandelions in a glass jar swayed gently.
She wrote on the title page of his textbook: "Velvet is the first growth of grass."
He added below: "Ming, the sound of birds chirping."
At the moment when the cicadas chirped ear-splittingly, the young man said softly: "Xia Yu's velvet chirping is the most beautiful sound."
That summer, he was her junior student, and she was his North Star
All unspoken confessions are hidden in the star map
"Not all heartbeats have to have an ending, but all encounters are worth remembering." - "Xia Yu Rong Ming"
Concept: "In the misplaced time and space, we become each other's starlight." The relationship between them is not "love" in the traditional sense, but a more complex and purer emotion: she is his guide, and he is the reflection of her youth. For Fei Xiaorong, Hu Jiaming reminded her of her past enthusiasm and confusion, and his presence made her re-examine her choices. For Hu Jiaming, Fei Xiaorong is the starlight that illuminates his path forward, but he also knows that some distances cannot be crossed, and some heartbeats can only be hidden in the star map. For readers, this is a story about "just the right miss" - not all encounters have to have an ending, some people appear just to make you a better version of yourself.
