Xia Ye's car repair shop is hidden in the shadow of the sycamore tree, and the smell of wrenches and engine oil is the main theme here, until Lin Zhixu, a junior student, bursts in with a squeaky second-hand bicycle.
At first it was just the girl's inexplicable approach: an excuse to borrow tools, a deliberate detour to visit, and a little thought hidden in the milk tea dessert. Lin Zhixu thought it was admiration for the "powerful sister", until he saw Xia Ye arguing with his ex-girlfriend, and he was shocked to realize that his red ears and accelerated heartbeat in the sentence "You obviously like girls" were actually the heartbeat of liking.
From tentative confessions to holding hands under the warm yellow light of the car repair shop, their love grows quietly among the oil and books. But the graduation season is ringing, and Lin Zhixu will go to a foreign country.
A few years later, Lin Zhixu dragged his suitcase back to a familiar city. The wrenches from the car repair shop were still neatly arranged on the wall. Xia Ye lowered his head to wipe the parts from the side, which overlapped with the sultry afternoon in his memory.
"Long time no see."
"Well, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Once some heartbeats start, they never think about stopping; some people are waiting to cross mountains and seas, just to hold your hand again.
Intention: perseverance
