That summer when the cicadas were chirping noisily, a young man named Jiang Yi broke into Lin Xi's life. He is a friend of her brother and lives temporarily at her house. He has the smell of a clean white shirt and a shallow pear dimple under his left eye. He is like a refreshing wind that disrupts the girl's chaotic senior year of high school.
On her birthday, he gave her a light green clover notebook and said, "It's very convenient to remember wrong questions." He drank ice-cold Coke with her on a rainy night and said, "I'll come back during the winter vacation." These tiny pieces of tenderness were quietly hidden by Lin Xi in the pages of his notebook, and also in the secret love that the girl dared not express.
She browsed his Moments every day, traced his appearance between test papers, and used "See you again during the winter vacation" as motivation to prepare for the exam. But time flies by, and his life moves towards the workplace and the adult world, while her youth passes by among test papers and expectations. The reunion became hasty, the agreement gradually became blurred, and the heartbeats hidden in the details eventually became unspoken secrets.
Many years later, when Lin Xi was sorting out old things, he dug out the yellowed notebook. The handwriting on the pages was young but fresh. She finally understood that that summer-limited encounter and those secret loves that ended in vain were never regrets - they were the brightest light in youth, which warmed her through the chaotic years and allowed her to learn to move towards her own bright future with courage.
This is a story about secret love, growth and farewell, like the starlight on a summer night, short but enough to illuminate a period of time. The wind passes without a trace, but the warmth in the memory is always clear.
Intention: secret love
