After the National College Entrance Examination,I confessed my love to my deskmate whom I had been secretly in love with for two years,but was brutally rejected.
Who would have thought that a year later,we both got admitted to the same university.
When he learned that I was about to get into a relationship,he ran for half an hour,out of breath,across the entire campus,just to confess his love to me in advance and tell me that he liked me.

At the beginning of the second semester of freshman year,Ethan,a freshman majoring in Electronic Information,dominated the top ten hot posts on the campus forum with a photo of him shooting a basketball.
In the photo,the young man had short hair and was wearing a white T-shirt.His eyebrows and eyes were sharp,and the way he looked at people coldly made many forum users exclaim,"This is my long-lost boyfriend!"
After my roommate,Lily,shared this photo with me,she clung to me and asked me to give her Ethan's contact information.
The reason was simple.Ethan was my high school classmate and also my deskmate during the senior year of high school.We used to have a good relationship.
Why did I say"used to"?
Because the year of being deskmates with Ethan during senior year of high school gave me a certain kind of confidence,making me think that Ethan also liked me.When I received the signal of love from someone for the first time,I decided to take the initiative.In the end,I only saw the love letter I wrote to Ethan torn to pieces and thrown into the trash can.

The feelings of a young girl,after all,were just that-the feelings of a young girl.
Since then,I unilaterally cut off contact with Ethan.Even though we were now in the same university,I had no intention of recognizing him at all.
After all,I didn't have the habit of sticking my face out to be slapped.
I refused Lily.To put an end to her thoughts,I also told her that Ethan already had a girlfriend.

After being rejected by me,Lily didn't give up.I don't know from whom she got Ethan's contact information and added him as a friend that night.
All night long,I was distracted by Lily's laughter and kept guessing in my heart how far they had progressed?
When I went to bed in the middle of the night,I slapped myself in the quilt and forced myself to stop thinking about anything related to Ethan.
Who would have thought that when I came back from studying in the library on Saturday,Lily came to me to share the little secret about Ethan she had discovered.
At that time,Lily specifically checked if the other two roommates in the dormitory were there,and then lowered her voice and said,"I happened to meet Ethan sitting next to me in the library this morning.I saw that he had a Spider-Man figurine that he cherished so much!"
"A Spider-Man figurine?"I asked in confusion,"I've never seen him have such a thing before."
Lily said,"He didn't have it before,but he has it now!"
"I'm telling you,Ethan treasures this thing so much!A girl he knew came over and wanted to touch it today,but he directly refused!And he seemed to be so afraid that the girl would touch the figurine when he wasn't paying attention that he put the figurine into his schoolbag right in front of her."
"Let me tell you,"Lily clicked her tongue,"The way I saw him looking at that figurine today was so gentle.He didn't have that cold look at all that I saw before."
"I suspect,"she drawled,"that the figurine was given to him by the person he likes."
Was it given to him by the person he liked?
Perhaps.
Ethan didn't have a girlfriend,but he definitely had someone he liked in his heart.
After all,when I was rejected by Ethan after the National College Entrance Examination,I once heard him talking to his friend about the"she"he liked...
Not wanting to continue this topic,I changed the subject and asked Lily,"Didn't you add him as a friend before?How far have you two developed?"
Lily shook her head and denied it:"No progress.He directly rejected me.I was chatting with Alex yesterday."
"Alex?"
"He's Ethan's roommate.It was him who gave me Ethan's contact information."
My attempt to change the topic was unsuccessful.When Lily mentioned Ethan's contact information,the topic turned back to Ethan again.
"You said before that Ethan had a girlfriend,but when I asked Alex last night while we were chatting,he said that Ethan has been single for 19 years.Not to mention having a girlfriend,he hasn't even held a girl's hand."
I shrugged:"I don't know.But I heard from my classmates before that Ethan has someone he likes in his heart.I thought he had caught up with that person."
Lily stroked her chin and pretended to be Sherlock Holmes,saying,"Watson,how about we look for clues about the person Ethan likes?"
I originally wanted to refuse,but thinking of Ethan who had been so dedicated to explaining questions to me,who was so afraid that I couldn't improve my comprehensive science scores and stayed up all night for a week just to customize exclusive wrong-question notebooks for me,I just couldn't give up.
I really wanted to see who on earth could make Ethan take notice and keep in his heart?
