A story of mutual crushes and reuniting after a long separation, mainly set on campus. It's a sweet romance.
Su Xun falls in love with a boy, only to discover that the boy likes her too.<...
As spring drew to a close, waves of heat rippled through the campus, signaling the imminent arrival of early summer.
The air conditioning in the library hadn't been turned on yet, and the space felt stuffy, mixed with the sound of pages turning.
Su Xun and Pei Ke chose a healthy and positive way of dating: they would meet at the library every Saturday morning to study, so they could both study and spend time together.
Of course, this is just Su Xun's public statement. The truth is that she made a boastful promise and had no choice but to carry it out.
When Su Xun heard that Qian Zhongshu had once declared that he would "sweep through the Tsinghua Library" when he was studying at Tsinghua University, she was deeply impressed and decided to spend more time in the library. Although she did not have the ambition to sweep through all the books, she wanted to immerse herself in the sea of books as much as possible.
I mentioned this to Pei Ke at the time, and he replied very bluntly, "This is boring, and you probably won't be able to finish reading it."
This ignited Su Xun's desire for a challenge, and he was determined to take some concrete action.
However, Pei Ke was eventually pulled over as well to soak up the scholarly atmosphere.
At noon, the two came out of the museum.
The sun was shining brightly outside, and the small fountain in front of it was spraying water in bursts, sending out white jets that shimmered in the sunlight.
"It's the weekend today." Su Xun suddenly smiled and looked at Pei Ke, who was walking seriously.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Pei Ke was a little absent-minded, her mind preoccupied with the email she had just received, her gaze fixed blankly on the floor beneath her feet.
Hearing Su Xun talking to him, he quickly suppressed his chaotic thoughts and looked at the little man next to him who looked very interested.
"Let's go see a movie. Tang Shi said his idol is acting in a movie for the first time, and he told me I have to go support him."
A few days ago, Tang Shi went crazy promoting Yi Zeguang's new movie on her WeChat Moments, almost to the point of sending them all to the cinema. It's quite rare for Tang Shi to stick to one celebrity and not switch allegiances.
She glanced at the synopsis and the cast and crew, and thought it looked pretty good. She figured it would be a good idea to go check it out, since it had been a long time since she'd actually watched a movie in a theater.
"Aren't you going to sweep through the library?" Pei Ke smiled, a hint of teasing flashing in his eyes.
"Of course I want to, but for now, let's watch a movie!" Su Xun felt a little awkward when she said this. Last time, she said that she was provoked by Pei Ke and impulsively said that she wanted to read all the books in the library.
Then, when she saw the total number of books in the library's collection on the school library's website, she felt like biting her tongue off. More than three million books! How long would it take her to see them all?
My initial plan was to happily immerse myself in the sea of books, without pursuing quantity. However, I fell into Pei Ke's trap and actually made the arrogant statement that I would "sweep through the books."
When did Pei Ke become so cunning? Where is her obedient boyfriend?
Su Xun glared angrily at Pei Ke's upturned lips. "Anyway, I'm going to book the tickets now."
He then took out his phone.
The two ate at a restaurant downstairs from the movie theater before heading in right on time.
The room was already about 70-80% full, almost entirely with young girls, chattering excitedly about Yi Zeguang. Their voices were filled with barely concealed excitement, and their expressions were thrilled.
Yi Zeguang has indeed developed quite well in recent years. He has gradually moved from being a singing and dancing idol to the film and television industry, and now he has made a movie, which is a big production.
Su Xun, holding a can of cola in one hand and pulling Pei Ke along with the other, groped their way to their seats in the darkness.
As soon as I sat down, the advertisement on the big screen ended and the main program began.
Pei Ke shoved the popcorn he was holding into Su Xun's arms. "Here you go."
He doesn't like eating these things.
This is a spy film, in which Yi Zeguang plays the third male lead, who is also the biggest villain, but a truly tragic character. Wearing a neat green military uniform, he looks much more robust and upright.
As soon as his character appeared, a collective gasp was heard from those around him.
Tang Shi's casting choices this time are quite good. They are excellent in both appearance and acting skills. The main actors are all award-winning actors, and I don't feel intimidated when acting with them. They also have their own unique touches.
Su Xun was drawn to this villain almost at first sight. His emotions fluctuated with the villain's experiences. He couldn't help but worry about him when he was in danger, and he got goosebumps when the villain sneered. Finally, when the villain died, his emotions exploded and his eyes reddened.
Pei Ke glanced at the popcorn and cola in Su Xun's hand that hadn't been touched much, and couldn't help but wonder, was that guy in the military uniform really that good-looking?
Look closely, her eyes are too narrow, she doesn't look like a good person at all; she's so fair-skinned, like a little girl, she probably doesn't like to exercise much.
There are problems everywhere.
When the movie ended, many people in the theater broke down in tears, mostly lamenting the fate of the villain played by Yi Zeguang.
Pei Ke took out a tissue from his pocket and smeared it on Su Xun's face. He wanted to pinch her cheek, but then stopped and withdrew his hand.
"Wipe it yourself."
Suddenly, she realized that her tone had been a bit harsh, so she gently wiped away the tears on her face with her hands again.
What is he doing? It's just a movie, what's there to be angry about?
A wave of annoyance washed over me.
It was warm outside, and Su Xun didn't want to waste such a nice day, so she suggested riding her bike back to school.
It's only a half-hour bike ride back to school from here, so Pei Ke had no objections.
The two scanned two shared bicycles on the roadside and slowly rode towards the school.
The cherry blossoms along the way had already fallen, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of pale pink and white petals, like a thick carpet. Occasionally, a gentle breeze would blow by, swirling up a small piece and scattering it to your ankles.
It's itchy.
Su Xun loves spring, especially this late spring that is close to summer.
There were few pedestrians on this stretch of road, and she pedaled happily, leaving Pei Ke far behind.
She suddenly turned around: "Pei Ke, hurry up!" Her tone was full of smugness.
Pei Ke chuckled, then suddenly pushed off with his calves, increasing his speed. The black wheels rolled over the petals, leaving a wet trail.
They got out of the car, which was only a few hundred meters from the school, and walked side by side, pushing the car back with their hands on the handlebars.
Su Xun had been laughing all the way, but this time he finally calmed down.
Silence fell between the two, and time slowly passed between the wheels of the car.
"I have something to say," Pei Ke suddenly said, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.
"Um, what?"
"I want to apply for the exchange program at Keio University. This morning, the department sent out a notice and gave me a spot."
His voice was somewhat low, and there was an imperceptible unease hidden in his eyes, but Su Xun still caught it.
"You've been agonizing over this all day?"
Starting this morning, Su Xun noticed that Pei Ke was often lost in thought, and several times he seemed about to say something but then stopped.
"I dare not tell you." His tone was somewhat muffled, concealing a hint of caution.
Are you afraid I won't agree to you going?
"No, I just..."
