In his sophomore year of high school, Lin Wei transferred to a new school, like a timid mimosa, wrapping himself in a shell of alienation. Until I met Jiang Yi - the young man who smiled like the sun and sparkled on the basketball court.
He would put warm milk in her drawer, patiently help her with math, give her an umbrella on rainy days, and run in the rain himself. Lin Wei thought that she could finally catch her own sunshine this time, but she didn't realize that there was a tiredness that she couldn't understand in the young man's eyes.
Later, she realized that every smile Jiang Yi made was in a race against the countdown of his life; every harsh word he said to push her away on purpose was the sincerity of "I don't want to drag you down".
When the transfer notice was handed to her hand again, and when the hospital's critical illness notice replaced the young man's smiling face, Lin Wei realized: some goodbyes, once spoken, last a lifetime.
Jiang Yi, your sunshine is so warm, why don't you wait for me to finish the summer?
