When Shi Mian was 20 years old, he met a girl named Miya.
"Hello, I'm Miya, and like you, I'm a photography major."
A simple self-introduction, yet on an otherwise ordinary day, the girl's voice entered Shi Mian's heart.
Her smile is sweet and beautiful, but her voice sounds mature and sophisticated.
It has an unexpected contrast.
This was the impression Shi Mian had when she first met Mi Ya.
Shi Mian and Mi Ya, both freshmen, were assigned to the same class; both were photography majors.
"Hello, my name is Shi Mian."
The two girls, both with exquisite features, were both amazed when they saw each other.
Miya, who looks almost like a porcelain doll, has a pert nose, delicate skin that is fair with a rosy glow, and long, shiny black hair. She exudes sophistication from head to toe.
The black leather jacket and knee-high boots made her look both beautiful and cool.
Add to that the unconventional princess cut, and in Shi Mian's eyes, it also has a dark lolita vibe.
If there's one thing about Miya that surprised Shi Mian, it's her slightly gentle, mature voice.
Therefore, in Shi Mian's eyes, Miya can be both cute and mature.
"Hello Mianmian, it's great to be your roommate!"
Miya looked at Shi Mian with a smile, her soft and alluring voice escaping her lips.
Even though her smile was so sweet, her words carried a seductive quality that Shi Mian couldn't quite understand.
Perhaps people who like each other look somewhat alike?
The thing that Shi Mian and Mi Ya have in common is that they are good-looking.
With her striking baby face and deep dimples, Shi Mian perfectly embodies the word "sweet girl" without needing to make any sweet expressions.
But beneath their equally captivating faces lie completely different personalities.
Miya is flamboyant, while Shi Mian is reserved; one can't hide anything, while the other wants to hide everything completely.
These two people share the same interests and aesthetic tastes; as time goes by, their relationship grows stronger as they live together every day.
Hao Daoshi believes that they are not the so-called best friends that everyone talks about; rather, they are soulmates and lovers who met too late.
We sat together in class, ate together after class, went out to explore together when we didn't have classes, and worked part-time together during winter and summer vacations...
Throughout the remaining autumn and winter of their twenties, Shi Mian and Mi Ya could be seen walking side by side.
If you were to ask Shi Mian when she first fell for Mi Ya, what would it be?
She would definitely answer without hesitation.
It was during my freshman year of college.
Shi Mian, who comes from a single-parent family, fell in love with a girl who was surrounded by love and affection in the autumn of her twentieth year.
People who live in darkness probably yearn to be closer to the light.
In front of outsiders, Miya is aloof and indifferent; but perhaps it's just Shi Mian's imagination, in front of her, Miya is like light, warm and enthusiastic.
The word "warmth".
It always makes people who are afraid of the cold unable to resist getting close.
Shi Mian, who kept her unspeakable feelings well hidden, never easily revealed her unusual emotions to Mi Ya.
In this clandestine relationship, she was the one who fell in love first.
She used to simply believe that she hadn't met her soulmate yet, so she had no interest in any of the boys who pursued her.
Until the year I met Miya.
She discovered that she wasn't that kind of person after all.
The moment Miya reached out and grasped her hand, a strange feeling inside Shi Mian told her that perhaps she really had no interest in men.
From initial doubt to final confirmation, from the moment she truly understood her own feelings, Shi Mian, who used to do anything without caring about the consequences, began to have her own weakness.
But how could someone who is cherished by so many people accept such an absurd relationship that is not accepted by the world?
Unlike Shi Mian, who was mired in debt, Mi Ya, who was regarded as the apple of her parents' eye, was pampered by them since childhood, surrounded by countless favors and adulation.
The humiliation brought about by her family of origin darkened Shi Mian's entire heart. She carefully and stumbled along, guarding the ambiguous and inexplicable feelings she had for Mi Ya.
She is the light that everyone yearns for, so how could I bear to drag her into a dark world filled with curses?
People who have things on their minds are always sullen, and this sullenness continued until the second semester of their sophomore year.
"Mianmian, do you have someone you like?"
When Miya asked this question so casually, Shi Mian, who was usually calm, felt a sudden tightness in her chest.
"Do you have someone you like, Mianmian?"
Panic replaced her usual calm. Shi Mian looked at the pair of eyes staring intently at her and slowly opened her mouth.
"Yes. I have someone I like."
A jumble of thoughts flooded her mind, and Shi Mian couldn't figure out what Mi Ya was thinking when she asked that question.
How did she realize that she had someone she liked?
Did she find out her secret? If so, what choice would she make?
Will she leave me? Will she break off all ties with me?
"Have you liked that person for a long time? When did it start?" Miya stared intently at Shi Mian and pressed for an answer.
Shi Mian could never lie to Mi Ya; she would always give a response if Mi Ya asked.
"Yes. I've liked him since freshman year. Xiaoya, do you know something?"
Shi Mian's tone was somewhat nervous, because she couldn't see a trace of surprise on Mi Ya's face.
Everything seemed to be exactly as Miya had anticipated.
"No wonder, no wonder. No wonder you've been so unhappy. Is it because that person doesn't like you?" Miya's expression was somewhat strange after getting the answer, and there was a hint of loneliness in her words that was almost imperceptible.
"I have no idea."
"You're right. How could she have those kinds of feelings for me?"
When Shi Mian said those words, Mi Ya could clearly see the disappointment in his eyes.
How could Miya like her?
Everything was caused by her impure thoughts, and she has to bear all the unbearable consequences herself.
How could she possibly expect Miya to like her?
Moreover, this was originally an impossible thing.
Miya, oh.
It's impossible for me to have those kinds of feelings for someone of the same sex.
...
What was the lucky thing that happened to Shi Mian when he was twenty?
"The luckiest thing?"
"I lost a lot before I turned twenty."
"But after I turned twenty, I met the most precious person in my life."
"At such a wonderful age, I am grateful to myself for working so hard to get into university."
"Then, I encountered a light that belonged only to me."
