[Bad Ending] [School Life] [Secret Crush]
We met in summer. Ever since, every time the branches bud and blossom, it has heralded another meeting between us.
Xie Yan always thought her life would follow the path she'd planned, all the way to the end. But Song Yuchun's arrival broke her out of that rigid cage.
Song Yuchun unexpectedly scored high enough to get into the top class, and by a twist of fate, ended up sitting beside the person she liked.
But luck doesn't last forever, just as a ship at sea needs a few storms before it can sail far.
Song Yuchun thought her secret crush was just a one-sided love: a reunion at the corner shop, a book accidentally dropped, meeting in an exam room, and an extra note.
Only after years had passed did she realize, looking back, how obvious it all was.
Later, Xie Yan was 26 and Song Yuchun was 23. Xie Yan turned 30, while Song Yuchun was still 23.
Someone who loved beauty so much really had managed to stay forever young.
Looking back now, I realize there were clues all along.
The inexplicable falls, the water glass she couldn't hold steady.
She lay there quietly, mouth unable to close, eyes unable to shut, watching the boy she'd loved for so long. Slowly, gradually, she drifted into a very, very long dream.
Why did I have to be the one with ALS? Why did it have to be me?
On the first Start of Spring after Song Yuchun's death, Xie Yan finally met her spring.
"What's the first thing you say when you meet again after so long?"
"My love, please hold me again."
Theme: Fate brings us together, and it also tears us apart.

"Xie Yan was sitting there, watching..." This is a big bug for the author~ 😳
