Confession for the Hundredth Time

On the opening day of the university, Zhang Ziyang, a freshman in the Chinese Department, knocked over the orientation booth with his suitcase because he was staring at a girl. The girl who made his brain shut down was named Xian Huanhuan, a solitary and aloof academic who even stood motionless during military training. From then on, Zhang Ziyang began his journey of confessing 100 times: shouting "I like you" in public during military training, but the instructor took it as a sign, using a loudspeaker in the cafeteria to confess, but the machine was broken and he could only howl, standing for an hour with a broken umbrella in his arms on a rainy day, holding a cup of hot milk tea in his arms, 99 candles on the rooftop were blown out by the wind until only one was left, and he protected the last one with wax oil and blistered it. Seven silly and warm little things run through the whole story: he stayed up all night to learn data recovery and removed two extra screws on the keyboard, he carried her to the infirmary and sprained his foot, he learned to ride an electric scooter and fell three times while pushing a cart for two kilometers to send her to the train station, and Bi She was sent back to stay with her for three nights and tell 103 bad jokes. Xian Huanhuan went from "this person is sick" to "doesn't seem that annoying", from "why hasn't he come yet" to completely fallen. She thought that the high wall she built was impenetrable, but this silly boy used the stupidest way to tear it down brick by brick. The only serious confession she made at the graduation ceremony was, "Think again." He said that the 100th time should be saved for the most important moment. After graduation, she thought he had given up, until she received a handwritten "Diary of 100 Confessions" - she laughed and cried. On the road where we first met, he held up the twisted paper roses that he had folded 100 times before he succeeded and said: "I'm not smart, I can't be romantic, and everything I do is stupid. But I am serious about every stupid thing I do."
