The Heartbeat Hidden in the Scale

"You don't need to stand on tiptoe to look at the stars, your own light has already illuminated the whole world!" "I once thought I was an island of silence, until your eyes, like the light of midsummer, fell on me unexpectedly - it turns out that no matter how hard the shell is, it will quietly crack a crack for that timid tenderness." "They say that I live like a precise clock, but only I know that from the moment my fingertips touch the tip of your ear, all the scales are messed up, and even my heartbeat has learned to sway with your shadow." "I'm used to hiding my emotions in the ice of silence, but when I saw you smiling with red eyes, I wanted to hold all the light in front of you for the first time - you don't have to be a sensible clockwork, just be my star." On the basketball court in midsummer, Li Xin's sunhat was blown away by the wind and was picked up by Pei Siyan, who was playing basketball. The touch of their fingertips made her ears feel hot and she ran away. Pei Siyan was teased by his classmates for being "enthusiastic". He said "smoothly" but turned around but couldn't hide his smile. This scene was captured by his friend Zhang Mu. After returning to the classroom, Li Xin blushed and was teased by Bai Shuwan. Pei Siyan, who was outside the window, happened to catch her in a panic and chuckled, which surprised Zhang Mu. When school was over, Zhang Mu asked Pei Siyan what he thought of Li Xin, and received a "quite cute" response. Exclamations resounded throughout the corridor. Li Xin, who had just left the classroom, caught Pei Siyan's gaze, and her heart skipped a beat. Zhang Mu was also heard saying that Pei Siyan's ears were red. In the afternoon of the next day, Pei Siyan was waiting for Li Xin at the door of class three. When he learned that she was going to deliver her homework, he walked to the avenue. The two met in the backlight. Pei Siyan took the initiative to introduce himself, and Li Xin also responded to his name. She wondered in her heart whether he liked her, but she didn't see Pei Siyan's unconcealable smile outside the window. Teacher Ren asked Pei Siyan to join the student union for inspection. He met Li Xin while on duty on Monday and wanted to say hello, but Li Xin walked away quickly because he saw him and Li Yulin standing together. Pei Siyan's hands were frozen in the air and he was in a low mood. Zhang Mu saw this and offered to be on duty for him. Li Xin was distracted in class, and her mind was filled with Pei Siyan's frozen hands. She went to the water room to get some air during the break, and bumped into Pei Siyan. He grabbed her wrist and asked why she was leaving so early in the morning. Li Xin broke free with a cold attitude, and was later found and pulled away by Bai Shuwan. During evening self-study, Zhang Mu asked Bai Shuwan to find out why Li Xin was angry. Bai Shuwan asked Pei Siyan to figure it out on his own. Although Li Xin didn't ask anything, he quietly calmed down. After Li Xin returned home, she was beaten and scolded by her father for sweeping the floor, and her mother was also indifferent. She was kicked out of the house. She asked Bai Shuwan for help but was rejected. She met Pei Siyan holding the puppy "Xingxing" on a bench in the community. Pei Siyan saw her condition and offered to let her stay in his spare room temporarily. Li Xin thanked her and agreed. Arriving at Pei Siyan's house, Pei's mother warmly received her. When cleaning the room, she used Pei Siyan's old things, which made Li Xin blush. Pei Siyan dismissed his mother and brought some ointment to Li Xin to rub the redness and swelling, but he left quickly with the tips of his ears red. The next morning, Li Xin was awakened by the noise in the living room and had breakfast with Pei Siyan and Pei's mother. Pei's mother asked Li Xin to call Pei Siyan's brother. Pei Siyan suggested that they go to school together. Li Xin hurriedly said that she was riding a bicycle. After going downstairs, Pei Siyan asked her if her face was feeling better. Li Xin didn't hear clearly and just said to push the cart, but the pinna of her ears became hot. The story is set on a high school campus and revolves around the throbbing and growth of youth: through the process of Li Xin and Pei Siyan's accidental encounter, mutual curiosity, and secret love, it shows the ignorant and innocent emotional buds of young girls in their youth. At the same time, it combines military training experience, campus daily life and other plots to reflect the protagonist's growth in friendship companionship and self-breakthrough. It conveys the preciousness of courage, persistence and beautiful emotions in youth, and interprets the light of youth and the power of life that shines in ordinary daily life. Protagonist: Li Xin: Li Xin's cuteness is timid - she always lowers her head slightly when she speaks, her eyelashes hang down like two small fans, she purses her lips and smiles when someone compliments her, the tips of her ears turn red first, and her hands unconsciously twist the corners of her clothes. Her shyness is mixed between her round eyebrows, which actually gives rise to a pitiable and cute character. In front of strangers, she was like a wilted mimosa. She only dared to answer in a low voice when others asked her. Her voice was so thin that she was afraid of disturbing something. Her eyes always drifted away. She would rather huddle in a corner and read a book than join in the lively conversation. But around people she knows well, she will quietly come over to share the newly bought candies, with bright eyes, and speak quickly with a happy ending. Occasionally, she will tell a clumsy cold joke. After saying it, she will cover her mouth and laugh, her shoulders shaking slightly, and the hidden liveliness emerges timidly like buds after the rain. At home, she was used to swallowing "I want" and replacing it with "What do you think?" When she feels more grievances, she will hide in the bathroom, pinch her face in front of the mirror, force herself to smile, and silently say to herself, "They are family," but her eyes in the mirror are red, like grapes soaked in water. She lived like a precision wind-up toy, always calibrating the needs of her family first, and then slowly tightening herself. Occasionally, the wind-up would loosen, and she would show some thoughts of living for herself, but she would soon be suppressed by guilt. She was always afraid that if she failed to do a good job, the family would fall apart, so she put everyone's weight on her shoulders, moving step by step, not daring to stop or look back. Pei Siyan: Pei Siyan's calmness is like tempered steel. No matter how difficult the questions are in class or unexpected situations in life, there is always panic on his face, as if everything can be dismantled and dealt with within a rational framework. The "number one" on the report card is more like inertia for him - not a deliberate attempt to be stronger, but a habit of using precise logic and solid accumulation to do everything to the best, and even his notes are as neat as print. His kindness is hidden in a very subtle sense of proportion. When classmates asked questions, he would point out the key points concisely and concisely, never saying a word of nonsense, but he would always make people suddenly enlightened; when he saw a stray cat, he would silently put down the milk he had saved, then turn around and leave, never letting anyone see his softness. Others always feel that there is a "coldness" in his personality that makes him avoid being approached by strangers. He rarely participates in the commotion during class, and he stays alone after school. His face rarely shows bright emotions, as if he is wrapped in a transparent shell. This "coldness" is more like a kind of self-protection: the memory of his father's sacrifice on the plateau when he was two years old may have been blurred into his mother's suppressed cries late at night and the blurry figure in military uniform in the photo, but the underlying uneasiness made him subconsciously isolate himself from excessive emotional fluctuations with alienation. He never took the initiative to mention his family, but when he saw the picture of the border guards in the news, his eyes would stay for an extra long time and his fingertips would quietly clenched. The admiration and respect for his father were all melted into the hardness of silence by him, turning into a calm force that supported himself and implicitly protected the people around him. . Concept: The story is set on a high school campus, and the concept can be centered around the excitement and growth of youth: through the process of Li Xin and Pei Siyan's accidental encounter, mutual curiosity, and secret love, it shows the ignorant and innocent emotional buds of young girls in their youth; At the same time, it combines military training experience, campus daily life and other plots to reflect the protagonist's growth gained from friendship companionship and self-breakthrough, conveys the preciousness of courage, persistence and beautiful emotions in youth, and interprets the light of youth and life force shining in ordinary daily life. .
