Synopsis
At the corner of the high school teaching building, while Su Yichu was waiting for his brother Su Yibai, he met Xie Qiuhe who was traveling on the same road. As two-year-old lovers, their interactions could not avoid Su Yibai - Xie Qiuhe would help Su Yibai carry notes to his younger brother. When the three of them walked together, they would naturally walk on the side of the road, protecting Su Yichu in the middle. His love is hidden in these details: it was the pen that Su Yichu mentioned casually, and it appeared in Su Yibai's schoolbag the next day; it was Su Yichu who fell down during the long-distance running at the sports meeting, and Xie Qiuhe rushed to the side of the track before Su Yibai, with his brows furrowed tighter than his own injury. Even the classmates in the next class joked: "Xie Qiuhe is not waiting for Su Yibai, he is obviously waiting for Su Yichu, right?" But Su Yichu listened and regarded it as a familiar relationship. Every time he saw Xie Qiuhe, he raised his face and shouted "Xie Qiuhe", not seeing the tenderness and helplessness flashing through his eyes when the other party responded. This concern hidden under the identity of "brother's friend" followed them into college. Until that day, Su Yibai patted him on the shoulder and said, "Xie Qiuhe seems to be dating. I've met that girl, she's a good match." Su Yichu suddenly raised his head and saw Xie Qiuhe not far away, helping a girl to carry a painting tube, with a smile on his face that he had never seen before. My heart felt like it was tightly grasped by something. He began to hide, using the excuse of being in class to avoid the three-person dinner party. However, Xie Qiuhe seemed to have noticed something, and took a detour to appear at the bottom of his dormitory. His tone had a bitter meaning that he could not understand: "Avoid me?" This turmoil caused by "pretending to like someone else" dragged two people who were accustomed to being separated from each other into a chaotic situation. Xie Qiuhe looked at his red eyes and realized that this bet was too painful - he just wanted to force Su Yichu to see his true feelings, but he almost broke down both of them. From the corner of the high school teaching building, to the tree-lined avenue of the university, to the elevator room of the office building, this secret love that spanned the entire youth finally lost its disguise in time. The whole world has long seen through their thoughts. It turns out that all he needs to be braver and more awake is that he can hold each other's hands earlier. Intention: Time breeds secret love, and you will eventually know it when you are old
