After the college entrance exams ended, students leaving the test site were interviewed and asked how they felt in that moment.
A handsome boy with eyes like stars and moonlight looked into the camera and said calmly, “I only hope to realize my dreams.”
A moment later, he added in a low voice, “And meet the rainbow in my heart.”
The camera cut to a girl with dimples and a smile as bright as a blooming flower. A rainbow hair clip pinned in her hair caught the light in tiny, glittering sparks.
She stuck out her tongue playfully. “Oh no, I think I might not get into Q University! If I end up having to repeat the year, Pei Zhiyu, you have to wait for me!”
Pei Zhiyu was the person I liked.
But I was not that beautiful girl.
When that interview aired, I was hiding at home, sobbing my heart out because I had bombed the college entrance exams.
It looked like my life and my first love were both about to be completely over.
