Seventeen-year-old Shen Ye was like a gust of wind, knocking over trash cans, reckless and with nowhere to belong.
Until he met Lin Yu.
The boy stood in the wind, holding his homework, his gaze as calm as a deep pool.
The lights in the library, the chill of an iced soda, a piece of candy quietly pushed his way: these became the most secret language between them.
He thought this was an ordinary story of salvation, never knowing that fate had already begun its countdown.
The snow on Christmas Eve fell, then melted. When the surgical lights went out, youth stopped in that winter, too.
Lin Yu was gone, leaving behind only a text message and a question Shen Ye would spend the rest of his life trying to answer.
Of all the countless difficult questions in this world, you were the one he could never solve.
And in the end, he never got to take you to see that snowfall.
Theme: Even when fate is cruel, love can still cross the boundary between life and death, shape who we are, and make the act of living itself the most heartfelt remembrance and the most solemn promise.
