Gu west, a top student, has only one credo in life: get into a good university and leave this small southern town. Until she met Ji Feng, the ace of the school swimming team, a boy who lived every day as if it was his last. He would pull her to watch the sunset during self-study classes, put a candy in her hand, and swim in the swimming pool with a freedom she had never seen before.
She has her secret: she discovered the pill bottle in his pocket. He has a secret: his heart is counting down. They approached each other and pushed each other away. Finally, one evening when the sun was setting, she asked: "How serious is your illness?"
"There may not be a future," he said.
"Then there will be no future," she said.
He made a promise: "After the college entrance examination is over, I will teach you how to swim." She regarded this sentence as the shape of the future. But fate did not give them that summer. On June 7, the first day of the college entrance examination, he sent her into the examination room and said with a smile: "After the examination, I will still be waiting for you here." Then he collapsed on the way back.
She rushed out of the examination room after taking the last subject, and what she was waiting for was a letter.
"Gu west, live for me. See the world for me."
Later, she went to the university they agreed on and studied marine biology. She learned to swim, freestyle, his kind. Every June 7th, she goes to the beach and swims in the water. She closed her eyes in the water and couldn't hear her heartbeat, only the sound of water.
Many years later, she grew old. Sitting on the beach, holding the old pair of swimming goggles he gave me. She said: "Ji Feng, I will live my whole life for you."
The waves came up, she closed her eyes and heard a voice——
"Gu west, let me teach you how to swim."
After the college entrance examination is over, I will teach you how to swim.
The college entrance examination is over long ago.
But summer is finally here.
Intention: "I love you, so I want to teach you how to still love this world without me."
