Coal Ball Spirit Jiang Gong vs. Dumpling Spirit Zhou Zhong
On August 15, 2082, renowned chemist Professor Zhou Zhong passed away from illness at his home in Yunzhou.
When Jing University issued its obituary, the students filled the courtyard with grief-stricken sobs.
Professor Zhou was modest and gentle, rigorous in his scholarship, devoted to seeking truth and practicality, and generous in supporting younger scholars. He devoted his entire life to chemical education and research.
He never married, yet often wore a plain silver band on his ring finger.
He never played basketball, but after experiments or classes, he would always sit alone on the court, lost in thought.
He never posted updates, but shortly before his death, he made one post on his social media account. It read: "At 81, I have come to see you at 19. May the Dumpling Spirit and Coal Ball Spirit live to be a hundred together." The accompanying photos showed a pot of lush hydroponic ginger and a pot of white lily of the valley with wilted flowers.
If love is destined to be just a little unlucky, then first, let us wish for a deep and lasting bond between Jiang and Gong.
A gentle reminder: This story is understated, has a tragic ending, leans toward realism, and focuses on everyday life! There are no major twists or so-called salvation, just two ordinary boys pursuing the feelings in their hearts!
Well... always believe that things will get better. Everything will be okay!
