夏日浪漫指南

I suppose all my luck in life was used up on the day of the college entrance exam—solving the final calculus problem correctly and, by chance, sitting in the same exam room as you. Sunlight slipped through a gap in the curtain, casting a clear line that crossed your back and fell onto my arm.

The two hours of the math exam were intense, but my mind went blank for thirty seconds because of it. Sadly, you never knew.

Luckily, you never knew.

At the high school anniversary celebration, Xia Wei felt a sudden urge to wear her old high school uniform. She struggled to pull the jacket out from under her bed, only to find it was now more than a size too big.

It was then that she vaguely remembered—

Nine summers ago, after the college entrance exams, while taking graduation photos, she had taken advantage of the chaos and secretly switched her uniform.

Stories of secret crushes often end without resolution, but for Xia Wei, the story couldn’t end without a proper ending.

Swapping uniforms at graduation was the most romantic conclusion she could think of.

The blue-and-white uniform jackets all looked the same; Gu Yuzheng wouldn’t notice what she had done.

She took the jacket and ran.

She didn’t notice the gaze that had been watching her from within the crowd all along.
