Xia Xingyao met Xie Shuang for the first time in September on the campus where camphor trees had fallen all over the ground. She was holding the book like a careless little cannonball. When she ran into his arms, she only remembered the coolness of his fingertips, and the tips of her hair were stained with tiny bits of sunshine when she lowered her head to pick up the book.
Later, in the board game club, she babbled like a prophet, and her speech was full of loopholes. It was he who handed over a piece of paper that quietly said "The third one on the left is a wolf."
Xia Xingyao always said, "Xie Shuang, you are really my best buddy." She didn't see his slightly curled fingertips when handing over the note, nor heard his low smile when he looked at her back. She didn't even know that the thoughts hidden in "by the way" and "just in time" were like the fleeting time of stars, quietly spreading through the entire youth.
Until one day, he stood on the road covered with ginkgo trees, put warm milk tea into her hand, and said softly: "Xia Xingyao, I don't want to be just your buddy anymore."
It turns out that some companionship was not a coincidence from the beginning - he had been quietly waiting for her for a long time in time.
