A Short High School Love Story: Unwavering Love
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, he was deeply captivated by her beauty and couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The boy was an excellent student and served as the class monitor. He always used the excuse of “caring for classmates” to approach the girl, tirelessly inquiring about her studies and daily life. He regularly gave her study materials and often slipped a packet of dried plums or a piece of chocolate into her desk. Sometimes, he simply handed her a note, subtly expressing his pure feelings.
The girl was smart and understood the boy’s intentions but pretended not to. Whenever she met the boy’s passionate gaze by chance, she would return a natural smile to hide the waves of emotion stirring in her heart, then bury her head deep into her books.
The girl knew clearly that at this time, her studies were the most important thing to her.
Three years later, both the boy and the girl faced their first significant life milestone—the college entrance exam. As a result, the boy, with a score twenty points above the key university cutoff, enrolled in an ordinary university.
Everyone was puzzled by the boy’s choice, but only the girl understood because she had only been accepted to that ordinary university.
The relaxed study atmosphere and romantic tone were the hallmarks of university life. Love thrived in this fertile soil, creating vibrant scenes.
Influenced by this environment, the boy finally mustered the courage to openly pursue the girl. However, no one expected this pursuit to last another three years.
For three years, every weekend, the boy would invite her to dinner or a movie. Whenever a store released new women’s clothing, he would carefully select one or two pieces and deliver them to her dormitory. On her birthday or significant holidays, he would meticulously prepare a grand gift along with a bouquet of red roses to win her heart.
Thus, the boy gradually became famous on campus as the “devoted prince.”
But the girl always politely declined the boy. Putting aside his outstanding appearance and privileged family background, just the sheer duration—from the first year of high school to the third year of university—his unwavering declaration of love for six years without any worldly motives, filled with pure romance and sincere honesty, not a momentary impulse but a pursuit tempered by time. How beautiful and steadfast such love was!
No one knew what more the girl wanted; perhaps even she didn’t understand which nerve was out of place.
One day, the girl fell ill and was hospitalized. The boy came to visit, carrying a large basket of fresh fruit, which deeply touched the girl.
The girl knew in her heart that the boy was indeed very good to her. In front of him, she was like a high and mighty princess, and the boy was the little dwarf around her, always ready to fulfill the princess’s every wish. It seemed the princess was waiting for a sweet kiss to “awaken” her!
“I’m a bit thirsty, could you get me a glass of water?” the girl said.
At the foot of the bed was a thermos filled with freshly boiled water. The boy picked up a cup and slowly filled it with steaming water. It was midsummer, and cooling a cup of hot water would take some time. Worried that the girl might be anxious, he found another empty cup and used two cups to repeatedly pour the water back and forth. His movements were slow and graceful, displaying great patience.
He did this for ten or more rounds, then carefully blew on the water’s surface, and finally took a small sip to test it. Only then did he reveal a satisfied smile, as the water temperature was just right.
At that moment, the girl’s heart was profoundly moved, melting like chocolate about to dissolve, with no strength left to hold it up. She was convinced that such a meticulous man was worth entrusting her life to.
In real life, it is often the seemingly insignificant details that bring a profound impact on the soul, requiring a wise heart to feel them. Like a classic love movie, though intricate plots and passionate scenes are indispensable, what truly moves the audience is just a tender look or a heartfelt line.
