The Tenth Step and My Summer

Lin Zhi's secret base is the rusty fire staircase behind the library that leads to the rooftop. The tenth step was her exclusive seat, because from there, she could just cross the wall and see an unobstructed view of the sky. Here she painted the flowing clouds of the four seasons, the birds returning home, and the blurry figure who always stayed up late in the laboratory building opposite. Until one sultry summer night, in order to capture a rare pink sunset, she rushed up the steps in the rain, but unexpectedly bumped into a person on the tenth level who shouldn't have been there - Jiang Shu. The boy who is always number one in his grade, but is also labeled as "unapproachable". He was soaked all over, and next to him was an astronomical telescope tightly wrapped in a raincoat. When he saw her, his eyes behind the lenses flashed the same surprise and confusion as hers. "You..." He paused, his voice a little blurry in the sound of rain, "You came to see the stars too?" It turned out that "staying up late" in his words was waiting for an observation window when the clouds dispersed; it turned out that one of them used a lens and the other used a paintbrush to record the same sky at the same coordinate point for a year. Their story officially begins on that rainy night and with the words "It turns out to be you."
