Sweet and thoughtful love story
That year, the girl was sixteen and a first-year high school student. The boy was in the same class as her. On the first day of school, the boy was instantly captivated by the girl’s beauty, and his gaze lingered on her, unable to look away.
The boy was an excellent student and served as the class monitor. He often used the excuse of “caring for classmates” to approach the girl, repeatedly asking about her studies and life. He regularly gave her study materials and sometimes discreetly placed a pack of dried plums or a piece of chocolate in her desk. Occasionally, he’d even hand her a note, subtly expressing his innocent feelings.
The girl was smart; she understood the boy’s intentions but pretended not to notice. Whenever she accidentally met the boy’s passionate, admiring gaze, she would do her best to return a natural smile to conceal the turmoil in her heart, then bury herself deeply in her books. The girl knew well that her studies were the most important thing for her at that time.
Three years later, both the boy and the girl faced the first major turning point in their lives—the college entrance exam. The boy scored exceptionally well, exceeding the key university cutoff by over twenty points, yet he chose to attend an ordinary university. Everyone was puzzled by the boy’s decision, but the girl understood because she had only been accepted to that ordinary university.
The university had a relatively relaxed academic atmosphere, with a strong sense of romance. Love thrived in this fertile ground, forming a series of beautiful landscapes. Under this influence, the boy finally mustered the courage to openly pursue the girl. But no one expected that this pursuit would last for another three years.
During those three years, every weekend, the boy would invite her to dinner or a movie. Whenever a store released new women’s clothing, the boy would carefully select one or two pieces and deliver them to her dormitory. On the girl’s birthday or any significant holiday, the boy would prepare a special gift along with a bouquet of red roses to win her heart. Gradually, the boy became famous on campus as the “devoted prince.”
However, the girl consistently smiled and refused him. Ignoring the boy’s good looks and privileged background, the fact that he had consistently expressed his love for the same person from the first year of high school to the third year of college, for six years, was remarkable. His love was not driven by worldly gain; it was pure and romantic. It was not superficial but sincere and unpretentious. This was not a momentary impulse but a love that had withstood the test of time. What a beautiful and steadfast affection this was!
No one knew what the girl was waiting for, perhaps not even the girl herself.
One day, the girl fell ill and was hospitalized. The boy arrived with a large basket of fresh fruit, which moved the girl deeply. She knew that the boy had always treated her well. In his eyes, she was like a princess, while he was the little dwarf who revolved around her, ready to fulfill all her wishes. The princess seemed to be waiting for a sweet kiss that could “awaken” her!
“I’m a bit thirsty. Could you pour me a glass of water?” the girl asked. There was a thermos at the foot of the bed, filled with freshly boiled water by the nurse. The boy took a cup, slowly filled it with steaming water, and realized that cooling it down would take some time, as it was the height of summer. Not wanting to keep the girl waiting, he found another empty cup and began pouring the water back and forth between the two cups, his movements slow and graceful, full of patience. He did this for about ten minutes, then gently blew on the water’s surface and finally took a small sip himself. Only then did he smile with satisfaction, as the water had reached the perfect temperature.
At that moment, the girl’s heart was deeply moved, softening like melting chocolate, leaving her with no strength to resist. She was convinced that a man this thoughtful was someone she could entrust with her life.
In real life, it is often the seemingly insignificant details that leave the deepest impressions on our hearts, but it takes a wise heart to truly feel them. Like a classic love movie, while the twists and turns of the plot and the passionate scenes are essential, what truly touches the audience is often just a poignant look or a tender line of dialogue.
