Chapter 40 The Stolen Timeline
Then I saw him often.

He often wanders around the campus, except for the office, Xie Yuqing can also meet him in every corner of the school.

He also seems to like to come home late, and he can often be seen lying on the bench on Ginkgo Avenue and listening to music.

Occasionally, Xie Yuqing would be curious about what it felt like, so she would unload her schoolbag, shake off the fallen leaves and lie down on it while there was no one around.

Sometimes she also listens to songs, the slow-paced folk songs and the melodious and falling ginkgo, reaching out and grabbing, it seems to hold the whole season.

And Xie Yuqing also noticed that whenever she passed by, the boy lying on the bench would sit up, go to the shared bicycle area next to the shade of the tree, unlock a bicycle, and then slowly push it forward.

Sometimes she also wonders, does the other party regard her as some kind of "alarm clock" that should go home?But he always wears a headset, keeps his eyes straight, has a casual expression, and has a lonely look all over his body, which makes people dare not come close to make a joke——

"Hey, are you waiting for me?"

As if forming a secret and weird tacit understanding, she walked on one side of the sidewalk, and he pushed his bicycle on the other side through the railing.

The road is noisy, pedestrians and vehicles coming and going, the wind whizzing by, the light of street lamps pressing on their shadows, and occasionally meeting.

It usually takes 10 minutes to walk to the Ginkgo Avenue, and it seems to be there in an instant.

So after she got on the bus, she would deliberately choose to sit in the row next to the road, and then quietly waved to the back of the man who was riding a bicycle away, thinking that she would see him again tomorrow, and her mood would be inexplicably cheerful.

Occasionally, Xie Yuqing walked slowly on purpose, and the boy on the other side of the railing suddenly kicked off his pedals, bent down to tie his shoelaces, and when he straightened up, she had already followed him.

Another coincidence.

By the time Xie Yuqing realized that she couldn't hold back her attention to him, she was already looking forward to school every day.

Even during the summer vacation of the second year of high school, she still couldn't help thinking about him.

I think about his untrue rumors, and also think about the colorful ginkgo avenue.

It wasn't until the beginning of the third year of high school that he suddenly learned that he had changed schools, and the summer sky seemed to turn gray.

She thought it was a tacit friendship that ended without a problem, but on the day of graduation, Yue Ke caught up with her out of breath, and solemnly confessed to her that there were so many intersections between him and her from his perspective that she was in a daze—that bottle of oolong tea , the rag handed to him, the low-browed smile when they met on campus... and her waving goodbye after getting on the bus, all seemed to indicate that they liked each other.

But Xie Yuqing knew that what he said was all a misunderstanding.

Those things were done by her, but not her intention.

If he hadn't mentioned it, she would never have remembered that there were so many intersections between them.

Her heart was half cold.

For Yu Qing, those tacit understandings she thought of were just people and things she didn't care about.

Secret love is indeed a one-man show.

Her joys and sorrows are all narrations in her imagination after all.

But fortunately, no one knew that she had such a dark and tender feeling.

That day, Xie Yuqing came home in a daze, and started sorting out the textbooks of the past three years, when a song suddenly sounded in the earphones - "People in the Perimeter of Light"

Novels you've been secretly reading lately
that's the one i read

our hobbies are somehow equal
enough for me to snicker for a while

……

the person hiding in the corner of my eye
become the most special part of my heart

The wind blowing by the window and your eyes
make my summer complete

As she listened, her mind suddenly cleared up briefly, "What's the matter...Adolescence, it's normal to be stupid."

Then she held the phone, clicked the single loop, and listened to the song over and over again, tears falling down again and again.
