[Campus Romance] [A Power Couple] [Sweet and Bittersweet Twists] [BE]
Cicadas sang in the height of summer, and blazing sunlight fell across their faces. Their story began before summer had run its course.
Those words were the impulse that set the girl in motion, and the beginning of her affection.
Their passionate romance began in the depths of winter. Even at the start, it seemed as though the boy had loved her for ten thousand years.
Beep… beep… beep…
“Yu Lizhi, Happy New Year.”
“Yu Lizhi, I love you. I’ve always loved you.”
“Yu Lizhi, I love you. I want you to know.”
The boy hid every dark part of himself, showing her only his sunny side.
Even in the end, the girl never knew that the boy who had loved her for so many years was gravely ill…
They all missed that boy. Only Yu Lizhi could still picture him reaching out to her beneath the play of light and shadow.
He said, “If you want to hold my hand, you can anytime.”
He said, “It’s not too late. There’s still time for everything.”
He said, “Don’t rush. Take it slow. No one can steal what’s yours.”
At the very end, he said, “Yu Lizhi, I’ve always loved you.”
Yu Lizhi shed a tear. It was a tear of regret, for failing to notice even a hint of what was happening to him. Perhaps he had hidden it too well, or perhaps he had loved her too much.
