    So heartbreaking! I cried so hard I couldn't breathe halfway through, and after finishing it, I lost 10 pounds!!! The summer of her seventeenth year was filled with the incessant chirping of cicadas, the intense sunlight seeming to melt the world. Xiang Yu, clutching her books, hurried through the corridor, only to unexpectedly bump into someone at the corner. "Careful." A clear voice rang out above her. She looked up in a panic, meeting a pair of smiling eyes—Song Huaishi had one hand on her shoulder, the other catching her notebook as it nearly fell. Sunlight streamed in from behind him, bathing him in a gentle glow. "Running so fast?" He lowered his head slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips. "What if you fell again?" Xiang Yu's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, she suddenly felt that this was what a seventeenth-year-old summer should be like—a breeze, the chirping of cicadas, a scorching hot playground. And…Song Huaishi. Many years later, Xiang Yu stood on the empty rooftop, gazing up at the dark night sky. She could almost hear the fireworks from when she was seventeen, and she could almost see Song Huaishi standing beside her, smiling and asking, "Was it bright enough? Want to set off another one?" But in reality, only the cold wind howled past. She slowly crouched down, hugging herself tightly. "Ah Huai..." She murmured softly, as if afraid to disturb the boy in her memories, "I think I... Still broke my promise." In the distance, the last firework rose into the sky, exploded, and silently vanished into the night. Just like that summer, just like that boy. —In the end, she couldn't hold on.
