Our Clumsy Heartbeat

Zhuangzhuang Can't Speak

8K0

There are countless passes hidden in the city wind, and the encounter between Xu Wei and Zhou Zhou is the least conspicuous one among them. The early morning bell urged Xu Wei to rush across the playground in a hurry. When the hem of her wide sweater swept across the turf, she didn't notice that the meal card with the small round face and deer eyes was quietly sliding down. When Zhou Zhou, who had just finished a game of football, bent down to pick it up, he saw the back of a figure disappearing hurriedly around the corner of the teaching building, his clothes dangling like a bird in a panic. One is a normal college student who wraps herself in a shell of timidity. Classroom speeches still make her fingertips tremble, but she secretly has the energy to break through the constraints in her heart; the other is a college student who has escaped from a noisy family. She has no plans for the future and only wants to be farther away from the past. They all live in this city with their own wrinkles, as ordinary as the sycamore leaves that can be seen everywhere. But the moment the meal card was handed back, their eyes briefly met, and the gears of fate began to turn slightly. Starting that fall, their trajectories slowly overlapped. Sitting next to each other in the library, meeting by chance while queuing in the cafeteria, holding an umbrella together on rainy days... Year after year, Xu Wei tried to reveal a little more of the light hidden behind her eyelashes, and Zhou Zhou gradually shed his cold and hard shell, revealing the soft youthful spirit inside. Ten years, twenty years, the city is changing, and so are they. Those twists and turns, evasions, and confusions were slowly smoothed out in the long companionship. It turns out that two imperfect people can live a warm life together - just like the sunshine by the playground back then. It was not dazzling, but it just illuminated each other's path.
