[Short story, adapted from personal experience, any similarity is purely coincidental]
Xu Jiu will always remember the day when Mo Wang promised her that joke.
"Mo Wang, if we don't have anyone we like on graduation day, let's just be together, right?"
"Yeah."
The wind in late spring was a little hot, and Xu Jiu's heart also became warm.
She began to look forward to her graduation day.
But what she waited for in the end was only a dreamlike short summer and a withered tulip.
Don't hope that your life, which is like stagnant water, will start to change the day you fall into Xu Jiu's arms.
From then on, Xu Jiu broke into her life like a seed and took root in her heart.
She was burned by her passion, cowardly longing, and shrinking from pursuing.
Until the rose in her heart bloomed too strongly, and the sharp thorns cut through her careful covering.
Angry criticism, hysterical complaints, tears of shame...
She finally retreated, uprooted the rose, and fled from the summer dream.
When we meet again after many years, we are still the same as each other, as if nothing has changed.
Xu Jiu said: "Mo Wang, long time no see, do you still remember me?"
Mo Wang said: "Remember."
She always remembered and never forgot.
Intention: May each other be well and have a bright future.
