Before he was seventeen, Lu Chen's world was gray.
No friends, no entertainment, just a dusty wall and endless questions when I come home from school. He thought life was like this - quiet, straight, without accidents.
Until Shen Yue moved next door to him.
She jumped off the tricycle, tripping over her left foot and her right foot, and laughed to herself first. She leaned on the door of his house and shouted, "My name is Shen Yue!", She placed a small blackboard on the window sill and wrote "It's a good day today!", She took him to the library, to eat at a roadside stall, to go to the rooftop to enjoy the air - everything she did, he followed her.
Later, someone asked Lu Chen why he treated Shen Yue differently.
He thought for a long time and said, "Because I was never young before she came."
Later, he left. Didn't have time to say goodbye properly.
We met again many years later. Shen Yue was a cultural and tourism planner, and Lu Chen was the chief architect of the old city renovation. She is still the same Shen Yue who walks with wind and smiles that lights up the whole street. And he was wearing a suit and ties, but he still spoke so little - but as soon as she opened her mouth, all his "no"s turned into "yes"s.
Shen Yue said: "Lu Chen, we will never be younger than yesterday."
He looked down at her and smiled.
"But I'm more sure than yesterday, it's you I want."
——There is no regret even if you are short of money. It is rare that the couple is a teenager.
