At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xu Tingbai glimpsed the dazzling Shi Sui in the crowd through the noisy crowd. That was the beginning of her long secret love, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, and her thoughts have been in turmoil ever since.
In order to get close to this unreachable person, Xu Tingbai became the most devout "follower": he secretly bought the copybooks he copied, hid them in the innermost layer of his desk and rubbed them over and over again; he used his father's connections to make circumstantial suggestions and secretly recorded his itinerary on the title page of his notebook; he worked hard to break into his circle of brothers, just to listen to a few more words from him during the chance encounters at friends' gatherings. She carefully hid her love and never showed any intention of pursuing him - the gap in family background, the age gap of seven years, and the clear understanding that "she will not be included in the marriage list" made her only dare to be a bystander outside his world.
Perhaps Tingbai didn't know that the secret love she thought was perfect had long since become an open secret. The way she looked at the copybook in a daze, the eagerness when she inquired about his whereabouts from her friends, and the way she secretly glanced at him at the party were all seen by the people around her, and even more so by Shi Sui. This one-way heartbeat that started in early summer, perhaps from the beginning, was not her story alone.
Intention: Just be happy
