It’s a Promise

On the first day of seventh grade, Fei Yihui and Li Yan were assigned to the same class.

One glance was all it took for the boy to fall in love at first sight.

There was no long, secret crush, no watching her from afar.

Three months later, he openly confessed his feelings to her.

Li Yan was focused on her studies and didn't accept right away. They started out as friends and gradually grew closer.

The boy was gentle, the girl quiet, and time drifted by between desks and books.

They promised to work hard together and get into the same high school.

What began as a simple word of encouragement became the firmest goal they shared.

Later, Li Yan began to fall for him too, and smiled as she said:

"If we get into the same high school, we'll be together."

They thought that if they worked hard, they could keep their promise: "It's a deal."

But fate struck without warning. Li Yan was diagnosed with leukemia and never got to keep their promise to meet again at the high school entrance exams.

The boy lost his light, and eventually followed her.

From meeting as classmates to confessing their love, and then being separated by death.

A school romance that began in the summer of seventh grade and remained forever frozen in summer.

Their story is short and painful, the most heartbreaking tragedy in the whole series.

The future they promised each other never came.
