I avoided Shen Yulin's question that night, and for the next few days, we didn't communicate. I continued my routine of going to school and back home, while he remained buried in sleep as soon as class started. Why did he ask that? I could never understand. But I decided not to dwell on it; I needed to focus on my studies. After transferring schools, I had fallen behind in several courses. I began spending my afternoons in the school library, returning home later and later. Fortunately, Uncle informed my father of my schedule in advance, so he understood my situation and only left dinner for me at the usual time without asking too many questions.
One day, just like any other, I went to the library. While I was reading, the power suddenly went out. In an instant, the entire library was plunged into darkness, and all the students were filled with anxiety and confusion. Time seemed to stand still in the dark library. Countless worried eyes searched for a glimmer of light, a hint of hope. However, amidst this darkness, only Shen Yulin brought a faint beam of light that illuminated the path ahead. His figure shone like a star in the night, weaving between the bookshelves to help every student trapped in the dark. He wasn't a hero, but with a warm heart and a flashlight, he became a beacon of hope for everyone. When his gaze fell upon me, an inexplicable warmth surged within me. As Shen Yulin approached and handed me the flashlight with a simple yet warm greeting, "Do you need help?" it seemed to dissolve all anxiety and trouble, bringing comfort and hope.
I took the flashlight and gently turned on the light on the table. At that moment, I saw Shen Yulin's warm eyes, as if the whole world had brightened again. That faint light made me feel warmth. Shen Yulin didn't leave; instead, he stayed by my side, illuminating my books with his flashlight, providing warmth and support. In the darkness, our unspoken connection deepened.
Out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of his profile, and at that moment, countless thoughts flooded my mind. The conversation from a few days ago replayed in my head like a movie; every detail was vividly clear. I knew it was time; I needed to muster the courage to ask what was on my mind. "If it were you, what would you choose?" I asked softly, my voice tinged with unease. Shen Yulin paused his actions; his gaze was deep and gentle as if he could see through every thought in my heart. "Only this one person among countless stars," he replied succinctly yet firmly, revealing a profound strength. I gazed quietly into his eyes; at that moment, time seemed to stop. His words shone like a bright light that illuminated my inner confusion and hesitation. I smiled gently and said, "Yes, I feel the same."
As we exited the library, night had fallen more deeply; stars dotted the sky as I felt the night breeze brush against my cheeks, refreshing my mood. Shen Yulin silently accompanied me; it felt as though our distance had closed a little more on this quiet night. In silence, every streetlight bore witness to our footsteps together. I didn't speak because this silence was a beautiful companionship—a tacit understanding that needed no words. At that moment, I realized that Shen Yulin didn't need grand words; he expressed his care for me through his actions.
Finally, we arrived at my doorstep. I turned around to look at Shen Yulin and said gratefully, "Thank you for today."
Shen Yulin smiled slightly and looked at me gently as he replied softly, "No need to thank me; go inside." His words felt like a warm current flowing through my heart. I opened the door and returned to the warmth of home.
