He Waits for You at the Depths of Time

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.<...

Chapter Four: Budding

"I won't."

"If you don't know how, I can teach you."

Su Xun finally raised her head and turned around, just in time to see the boy's smiling eyes and slightly flushed face, he was extremely handsome.

"Okay, you teach me." Su Xun forced a big smile, revealing a dimple that was barely visible.

Pei Ke picked up the Rubik's Cube again and scrambled all six sides.

“Look, this is a simple 3x3 Rubik’s Cube. We need to solve the bottom face first. You choose a color to be the bottom face.” Pei Ke pointed to the Rubik’s Cube.

Su Xun pointed to red; she really liked red because it was vibrant and passionate.

"Watch me solve it... First, put together a cross on the red side, and then... look, this side is done..." The Rubik's Cube was quickly solved as Pei Ke turned it between his fingers.

"Slow down, I can't remember."

"There are formulas for solving Rubik's Cubes. I'll write them down for you later. If you practice more, you'll definitely be able to do it."

"good."

Perhaps long, long afterward, when Su Xun recalls this scene, a warm feeling will rise in her heart. Because she was unhappy about failing her math test, her deskmate took out a Rubik's Cube to distract herself and try to cheer her up.

At that time, they understood nothing. Perhaps the seeds of friendship sprouted from that moment—maybe the moment the Rubik's Cube hit the table, or the moment she solved it for the first time, or perhaps the moment they first spoke a few years ago. But what is certain is the boy's handsome features and the girl's shy face.

What the future holds, none of us know. The only thing we can do is keep our eyes wide open, capture every moment, and save it. When we are old and gray, we can look back at these memories and perhaps, after experiencing the vicissitudes of life, find the purest joy of our youth.
