It wasn’t until that summer after the college entrance exams that I realized Wen Yingzhen didn’t actually dislike me. She had been waiting for me to take a step forward, just like tackling the final, hardest problem on a math exam-even if my palms were shaking. But I had turned my feelings into scribbled notes and swallowed my grievances into silence. In the end, even the words “I like you too” came far too late.
