Postmark waiting for a letter from a strange boy

" Why don't heterosexuals need to 'come out'? Why do I need to?!! " Simon's mind was flooded with the phrase and the matching picture of heterosexual coming out, which ironically seemed true very funny.

Just because the act of coming out is for the minority , it reminds you: you are a minority! So it made Simon and Blue feel that coming out would change them, which led to the story.


Blue's post was the beginning, and the whole school was in a frenzy for a while, and they began to guess "who is that gay?" for fun and entertainment. It is this kind of intentional or unintentional exclusivity that makes Simon and Blue only dare to hide behind the screen, but it is also this kind of exclusivity that makes Simon and Blue, two boys who have been suppressed for too long, get together. .

Just look at Simon's first email after he has sent an email. The alert sound of his mobile phone is like a bell on a Christmas tree to him. He eagerly turns on his mobile phone, but finds that there is no new email, but this does not dampen his expectations. After all, he has been suppressed for too long. For four years, these few hours, no, minutes, are nothing. But this email turned his heart into a postmark, and that was the only meaning in life of a postmark until a reply was received, which was to slap it hard, but softly, on that future letter.

They confided their thoughts to each other behind the screen, got to know each other through words, and understood each other through their skins, their shrunken bodies gradually stretched, they inspired each other.


This part is my favorite, the tension, the palpitations, the hope, how rare it is.
