隐藏的爱，无法隐藏
When Sang Hongyang was just thirteen years old, she discovered a deep and captivating affection for Duan Jiaxu. Duan, who was seven years her senior, possessed an appearance that was cold and lazy, speaking carelessly. Yet, whenever he passed by her home, he would steal into her brother's room and play games for hours on end. Despite her initial discomfort and confusion, the sight of him lifting his eyelids indifferently and smiling at her as if he were a villain stirred something inside her.
The First Meeting
Sang Hongyang's first encounter with Duan Jiaxu was a surprise to both of them. At that time, Duan, known as "Ge Ge" (an older brother), seemed to have a cold and lazy demeanor. He had beautiful "peach eyes" that made some girls envious. He would casually call Sang Hongyang a "kid," which caused her to blush anytime he caught her bringing fruits into the room.
Childish Crush
Despite the 7-year age gap, Sang Hongyang began to develop a crush on Duan Jiaxu. It wasn't until she was an adult that she realized how she initially felt. After her graduation, Duan Jiaxu went home to work hard. They lost touch, but when Sang Hongyang attended university in the city where he was admitted, they began to contact each other again.
Friendship Shifts
Through everyday interactions, Sang Hongyang noticed the burdens on Duan Jiaxu. With her company, Duan Jiaxu also began to let go, and he started a new relationship. Though their friendship evolved, Sang Hongyang continued to harbor feelings for Duan Jiaxu. She would often bring him fruits, hoping to see the same sparkle in his eyes that she had once seen.
The Revelation
One day, when Sang Hongyang was near to becoming 18 and Duan Jiaxu was around 25 (approximately), they finally understood each other's perspectives. Duan Jiaxu revealed to Sang Hongyang that the source of his troubles lay not in her, but in himself. With her help and companionship, Duan Jiaxu learned to let go and find comfort in their relationship.
End of Secret Love
After that revelation, the secret love that had been buried in Sang Hongyang's heart for so long finally sprouted and slowly spread into Duan Jiaxu's heart as well. The age gap that once seemed insurmountable now became a thing of the past, irrelevant. Instead, they spent their time enjoying each other's company and growing stronger together.
