Zhang Yulin had seen a photo of Li Sangning on his friend's younger brother's phone. The wallpaper had been given a youthful makeover.
The girl wore a green military training uniform. Like the wind, she had fair skin and bright eyes. She tilted her head slightly and smiled joyfully at the camera.
Later, when he visited an elder's home, Zhang Yulin sat idly in the garden.
It was June, cloudy, with a gentle breeze.
Li Sangning held a book and sat nonchalantly in the crooked tree, blowing leaves down onto him.
Zhang Yulin gazed at the girl in the tree, the wind dazzling his eyes.
The breeze tossed Li Sangning's hair. Her clear voice, tinged with frustration, drifted to his ears along with the wind. "Could you stop listening to Dad's talk about building character and give me an easy job? Otherwise, I'll mess everything up."
Back then, Li Sangning was a princess in an ivory tower, the least useful and most carefree younger sister in the family.
"Grandma said I was born to enjoy life." As she struggled with an unfamiliar job, Li Sangning grumbled in frustration, "Why am I even here?"
Zhang Yulin knew it too: she had been born to enjoy life.
So later, when no one was left to shelter her from the storm, she lost all her pain.
Like the wind, Zhang Yulin accompanied her throughout her life, silently and unseen.
Most importantly, we should be kind first, honest next, and then...
Never forget each other, ever again.
