Amid the cicadas’ song in their first year of high school, Ling Miao and Yue Xi become the only antidote to each other’s stressful lives.
Their everyday moments, borrowing half an eraser and going over a problem together, quietly grow into feelings neither dares to confess.
Then, just before the weekend they had agreed to go camping for the first time, everything changes without warning.
Yue Xi’s mother discovers her daughter’s secret feelings. An unexpected transfer brings their story to a sudden, silent halt: Yue Xi’s phone is taken away, their chance to say goodbye is taken away, and even a simple farewell becomes too much to hope for.
Every message Ling Miao sends sinks into the void.
The last one arrives a month later. It says only: “Yue Xi, I don’t want you anymore.”
For two whole years, they hear nothing from each other.
Until they unexpectedly meet again on a college campus.
Will they pursue the truth behind that unanswered goodbye and finish their story, or let their regrets remain forever? This time, fate gives them a second chance to choose.
Ling Miao, do you really not want me anymore?
It's really beautiful, thank you to the author.
