Features: Even when her friend scolds her for being crazy, she still can't help but be obsessed with staring at the hallway every day. High school life is too miserable—only exams, exams, and more exams. Only exams, exams, and more exams. If it weren't for the people outside the window adding color to her youth, she would have withered away. "Maybe I'm falling in love?" her friend said. Ahhhhh, how does she know? Just watching the light through the window could make her heart flutter like this.
Content of the book: When the dismissal bell rings, the crowd gathers at the classroom door, then heads down the stairs. The basement next to the classroom is the student canteen, and it's always flooded with students after class. Xin Hong's classroom is in the last building at the school. The classroom has a higher foundation, so even though it's on the first floor, you still have to climb a few small steps to reach the hallway. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, as the student canteen is right in the basement, so students have to do a bit more exercise just to buy things.
She noticed him a few weeks ago. Xin Hong, leaning her chin on her hands by the window, watched the people walking by outside, sighing softly. She couldn't even take a little nap during dismissal time. A loud shout came from far away. A group of boys were rolling up their sleeves, wiping sweat, holding a ball, walking arrogantly while chatting and laughing loudly. The boy with the ball was still playing with it, tossing it up, spinning it on his fingertips, letting it fall, catching it, and then tossing it up again on his fingertips.
