Childhood Plums Like Stars: from Yanyuan to Dance Hall

In September of the freshman year, under the sycamore tree at the main entrance of Beiwu, Zhou Yanzhou saw the lavender skirt through the crowd. The girl's smiling eyes curved into crescent moons, and there was a broken light in her eyes. She was exactly the same as when she first saw her in kindergarten when she was six years old. The two families are family friends and childhood sweethearts. When she was 12 years old, she went to Shanghai to study in the Dance Middle School. She was away from home for seven years and only had a few words at the New Year's dinner. He put the purple leaf vein bookmark she gave him into the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" and took it from the junior high school desk to the desk of the Chinese Department of Peking University, where he kept it for seven years. We met again in the autumn wind of Haidian, three kilometers away. He approached her on the pretext of studying for higher grades, and she went to the appointment on the pretext of studying for her English. The floor-to-ceiling mirror in the practice room, the sunset in the library, the starry sky at the concert, the young man's thoughts are quietly heating up in the trivial daily life. No one knew that the million-word novel under his waistcoat was filled with unspoken secrets; no one knew that the protagonist of "Crescent Eyes" she had followed was always her own. There are no bloody misunderstandings, no vicious supporting characters, just a two-way journey spanning twenty years. He is the talented Chinese scholar in Yanyuan who writes thousands of words, and she is the goddess of choreography and directing in the dance hall who has a bright eye. From the first glimpse of each other in childhood, to each other's achievements in pursuing dreams side by side, from school uniforms to wedding dresses, from childhood sweethearts to each other year after year. They walked the distance of three kilometers for twelve years. It turns out that the brightest star is always around you.
