Seventeen-year-old Xu Qiuyun always looked at him from the corner.
Zhuo Younan is the look of the white shirt stained by the sun, the melody that spilled out of the window in music class, and the silhouette hidden again and again in her notebook.
Those unspoken heartbeats are like a letter without stamps, the address column is empty, and the recipient is the entire youth in chaos.
On the day when he said he was going to study vocal music in a distant place, she clutched the half-page farewell she had written and did not dare to hand it over.
When his back disappeared at the corner of the street, Xia Chan was singing hoarsely, as if shouting the unsaid goodbye for her.
Later, she became a story writer, and his shadow was always hidden in her writing - sometimes it was the fingertips playing the guitar, sometimes it was the cheers on the basketball court.
She thought those thoughts would fade away in time, until she bumped into him in a blue apron in an old alley in late autumn.
He was decorating flowers in a cake shop, with chocolate crumbs stained on his sleeves, and traces of life between his brows and eyes.
"Hello, what do you need?"
His smile was polite and careless, and he didn't recognize her.
It turns out that some light will fall into the dust.
She would come here often, click on a piece of black forest, watch his soft tone when he answered the phone, and watch the melody that his fingertips unconsciously struck out - like a forgotten song. Slowly pieced together the truth: the "distance" back then was a lie. He carried his collapsed home and walked for a long time in the wind and rain.
On her birthday, she put down a piece of cake and wrote an unsigned card: "Thank you for lighting up my life." When she turned around, the wind chime rang softly, like a silent farewell.
Some secret loves are a person's practice.
If you grow up with his light, you will eventually find that you can also become the sun.
