Searching for You, Year After Year

The summer after the college entrance exam, Chen Sui Sui kept a secret.

She stepped into his world, and in their late-night chats, they showed each other their truest selves.

He said he wanted to see her. She panicked.

Only later did she learn that a lie must be repaid with countless silences.

He gave all his tenderness to a name, while she could only stand in the crowd, pretending not to recognize the heartbeat.

The day the secret was torn open, he finally realized:

Some feelings are etched into instinct from the very beginning. No matter how many names you give them, you can't hide them.
