That year, Zhou Yanxin did two reckless things.
First, she fell in love with Chi Fengye in eighth grade.
Second, she filled her diary with her secret love for him.
Aye, do you know?
I hate rainy days most of all.
But the day I met you
was a rainy day.
After that, rainy days weren't so bad anymore.
The wind of unrequited love had been blowing toward Zhou Yanxin from the very beginning. It was doomed to come to nothing, but Zhou Yanxin just had to fall for Chi Fengye. She was destined to lose that battle.
In the last year of her secret crush, Zhou Yanxin wrote in her diary: “Unrequited love is painful, so Aye, I hope your love will always be out in the open. Don't be a coward who keeps their love secret, because you're a daredevil! Aye, I... still love you this year.”
She wrote “I love you” countless times in her diary, but she was a coward. She came close countless times, too, yet never spoke her love aloud.
Zhou Yanxin was in a car accident while saving someone.
His wedding car crossed paths with her funeral procession. Chi Fengye didn't know that the woman who had loved him for nine years lay inside. Here, when a wedding car and a funeral procession meet, the funeral procession has to yield. Zhou Yanxin said, “Aye, this is the last time I'll let you go first. I didn't make it to your wedding, so you shouldn't blame me. I wish you a happy marriage. It's a shame I can't see it. Thank goodness I can't see it. But I'll love you in every lifetime.”
The heavens knew Zhou Yanxin's love, the clouds knew, and the wind knew. Only he did not.
Aye, my ashes were scattered in the sea. If you go to the sea, you'll find me! I forgot, you can't hear me. The sea is too lonely. I'll go there alone.
