Content warnings:
1. First-person narration. I agonized for a long time over whether to change it to third person, but in the end I wanted to follow my heart. I hope you enjoy it.
2. Unrequited love, and a tragic ending. I don't like tragic endings, but this book is special.
3. Neither lead is perfect. This is a realistic story.
4. The story is very short and very sad...
I never imagined that a sunny young man would leave such a vivid mark on my youth.
Li Zicheng, we met in midsummer, so let it end in midsummer too.
A boy had made his home in An Zhixia's heart. He was sunny, dazzling, confident, and optimistic.
But he was always hot and cold with her.
Later, he started dating someone. She thought she'd moved on.
Later still, he broke up, and this time she really did move on.
But in the end, she never asked the question she'd kept bottled up for five years: "Li Zicheng, did you ever like me?"
Even when sincere feelings go unreturned, they were once burning bright. Who knew that fireworks plunging into the sea could once have lit up the heavens in all their splendor?
