It turns out that the fate of snow is to melt, and my fate is to watch you disappear. When the snow melts, even the last thoughts will flow away with it. You are no longer here, and you didn't even leave your back for me.

Wen Shu wrote "Zhou Jingsi" in his yellowed notebook, but hid his trembling fingertips as he lazily leaned on the back of the chair. Until that rainy day, the young man clasped the handle of her umbrella with his knuckled hands: "Classmate Wen, your secret love diary -" she saw his earrings flashing in the rain, "When are you going to let me make up for the ending?" 🍃 It turns out that someone had carved her thoughts into the annual rings, and the ginkgo leaf bookmarks hid secrets that lasted through the years. The young man who was always flamboyant on the court would squat with her in the library until late at night sorting out old books. He would wrap a body-warming scarf around her cold-red fingertips. He would press the New Year's bell against her forehead and say, "Wen Shu, I have been chasing stars for seven years." ✨The most youthful throbbing finally turned into the grandest reunion. When the boy's palm covered her notebook filled with love, Wen Shu finally understood - those late study sessions peeking at the side of the face, pretending to meet by chance at the corner of the stairs, it was never a one-man show. "Secret love is the unresolved moonlight, and Zhou Jingsi stepped on the stars and gave Wen Shu the rising sun that will never end."

    This passage seems to come from a scene in a story or play. The woman spoke calmly and firmly, directly pointing out that Goat Head's behavior may have constituted illegal detention, and warned him that what he said would be used as adverse evidence. Her attitude shows her understanding of the law and her protection of her own rights and interests. It can be speculated from this passage that the goat head may be someone with power or control, and the woman is trying to fight his actions through legal means. This kind of dialogue usually appears in suspense, crime, or courtroom works, and is used to advance the plot or show character.
