Fifteen years ago, he was a carefree truant hanging around the pool, while she was a transfer student hiding from place to place with her mother. During a chaotic group brawl caused by a misunderstanding, Zhou Xiaoqi caught one unforgettable glimpse of You Yongci. From then on, he staked his entire youth on two words: protecting her. They hid from the rain together, skipped class, and lit sparklers by the sea, yet when they most needed to hold on tight, they let go. Later, he repeated a year to get into college for her, gave up competitions for her, and tuned his whole life to her frequency. But time and again, she turned away, leaving him with nothing but “I’m sorry.” Years later, when a wedding invitation once again placed their names side by side, Zhou Xiaoqi finally understood: her wedding was also his coming-of-age ceremony. The affection he never confessed, the misunderstandings he never had time to explain, and the promises crushed by reality all became the gentlest fireworks in his eyes as she walked down the aisle toward someone else. Told in the male lead’s first-person voice, the novel looks back and forth between their school days and adult lives, turning “missing your chance” into a rainstorm that lasts fifteen years, with you as the only umbrella. By the end, you’ll understand: growing up means rewriting “we” as “you” and “me,” then offering your blessings through tears.
