Unspoken Love Under the Old Moon

share time: 2025-12-20 06:00:41

Lin Wan returns to her high school to heal from a project failure and meets Chen Mo—her old classmate who once collected moonlight in a glass jar with her—running a used book stall at night. Chen Mo opens his cherished *Starry Sky* album, revealing a yellowed note: "Sept 15, 2013. The moon tastes like the orange candy you gave me. I wanted to say I like you, but you were going to Shanghai—I was afraid to be a burden." Lin Wan pulls out her phone and shows a decade-old draft: "Chen Mo, the moon is hiding in the clouds tonight. I wanted to tell you I also like watching ants with you by the flower bed, but you fixed the girl next class's pen—I'm afraid I'm多余 (unnecessary)." Just then, the moon emerges from the clouds, exactly as it was ten years ago. Chen Mo, with red ears, says: "I fixed that pen to practice—I wanted to fix your leaky Hero pen." Lin Wan laughs through tears: "I'm starting a job in Shanghai tomorrow—actually, because you said you wanted to see the moon over the Huangpu River back then." Under the same moonlight, they finally say the "I like you" they've hidden for ten years—turns out the moon never left; they just hid their words in its light.
