You Promised Spring

Fu Chong thought that the story between him and Sheng Li would be like all cliché campus novels, starting from "enemies on a narrow road" during the military training of the first year of high school, to college, work, and marriage, and finish naturally throughout his life. Sheng Li also thought that the boy who awkwardly handed him a band-aid at the door of the infirmary would be the only person he wanted to hold on to in his life. They escaped from the rooftop for evening self-study together, shared the same pair of headphones together, and ran wildly with their school uniforms draped over each other's heads on rainy days. They agreed to go to the same university, rent a house with a balcony in the same city, and raise a cat named Nian Gao. But the eternity promised at the age of seventeen could not survive the summer of eighteen. On the third day of the countdown to the college entrance examination, Sheng Li, wearing Fu Chong's school uniform, was left in that dusk forever by a truck that ran a red light at an intersection five hundred meters away from the examination center. Fu Chong often thought about it later: If he hadn't lent his school uniform to Sheng Li that day, if he hadn't been delayed for five minutes because of a math problem, if they had taken another route—— But there is no if. Seven years after Sheng Li left, Fu Chong became a high school physics teacher. Every time he talked about "conservation of momentum", he would think of the word love that he didn't have time to finish. It turns out that the most unconservable thing in the world is the love in people's hearts. Concept: Every encounter in youth is like a countdown to fireworks. We think that the time ahead is long, but we don't know that some people have spent all their luck in this life just by meeting them. I would like to dedicate this article to all the teenagers who have no time to say goodbye, and to the love that will stay in summer forever.
