At the end of her eighteenth year, Daiyan met a boy who dazzled her nineteenth year. Jinxu's arrival inspired Daiyan to keep moving forward and striving upward. A year later, she finally completed her journey of self-redemption and met the person she had always wanted to become.
Will I see him in the latter half of the year? No, the timing isn't right.
Will I see him next year, then? I don't know. I'm afraid my lottery ticket will expire, and someone else will win that prize...
Do you still like him, then? ...
You've always known the answer. I never said who he was, so whoever you pictured is the one you like.
I like him so much. After leaving behind the confusion of youthful innocence, he was the first person I truly loved. He was a lottery ticket I bought. I feared it would never win, yet also feared it had already won and I only realized too late that it had expired.
I want to write a book to record our story, to capture the most vivid page of my nineteenth year. I dedicate this book to the boy who dazzled my youth and to that time of self-redemption.
