Later, Gu Huai often thought of that question:
If he hadn't gone to the rooftop that day, wouldn't what happened later happen?
But the moonlight is so good, who would be willing to avoid it.
---
The first time Shen Mu talked to Gu Huai was to borrow an umbrella.
On a rainy day, she was trapped at the door of the teaching building. He passed by, handed her the umbrella, and ran into the rain.
She didn't have time to say thank you.
Later, she always wondered if it would have been different if she had said thank you that day.
But at the age of seventeen, who knew this.
---
They are in the next class.
Her name is Shen Mu, which means sinking into the dusk.
His name is Gu Huai, a man looking at the river.
She asked: Do you know what our names together are?
He doesn't know.
She didn't say anything either.
——Those who look at the river cannot see the person sinking into the dusk.
---
Later Gu Huai left.
Didn't tell her, didn't say goodbye, didn't leave a word.
Shen Mu waited on the rooftop all night.
The moon is round and missing, and it is missing and round again.
He didn't come.
---
Many years later, Shen Mu lived in another city.
Occasionally when I look up and see the moon, I still think of that rooftop.
I think of what he said: The river will keep flowing, and dusk will come every day.
The river is still flowing, she thought.
She's still there.
It's just the person who said that twilight will come every day, but he doesn't know that she is no longer in the twilight.
---
Gu Huai was also looking at the moon in another city.
Sometimes he wonders if he would have been so sad if he had said goodbye.
Later he understood——
Some people are like moonlight.
Illuminate you.
But you can't catch it.
Intention: Later I learned that - not being able to be with the person you like is the norm in the world. But those who have been illuminated by the moon will never forget that tenderness in their lives. ---The moon will not move away, it will always be there. But the man looking at the moon is gone. But it doesn't matter. It's enough to illuminate it.
