In a small town trapped by the wind, Ji Pingping's boyhood was filled with three shadows.
Shen Miracle is the young man who always smells like medicine. His congenital illness makes him like a flower that blooms early. He grows up quietly in the care of his grandma, but he knows how to read the words and emotions of others better than anyone else and can always catch the unspoken emotions of others. He, Ji Pingping, Mo Anle, and Zhou Qi'an were squeezed into a narrow time, and they were each other's safest place to stay.
Mo Anle is a child who is favored by Moonlight, and because of this, the world casts a strange look on him. He always shrank behind the crowd until Zhou Qi'an appeared. Zhou Qi'an is a top student in the eyes of others, but he is willing to be Mo Anle's shield, blocking all curiosity and malice for him. When Mo Anle was fourteen years old, Zhou Qi'an saw him not hiding for the first time. His heartbeat at that moment was like the faint firelight on a winter night, which lit up all the street lights in the town.
Ji Pingping watched them, watched Shen Miracle become weaker and weaker from the pain, watched Mo Anle being protected by Zhou Qi'an, and watched them find an outlet for freedom in the gaps in the town. But winter came very early, and an unexpected fire caused the two lights that were close together to never light up again. Zhou Qi'an gave up asking for help and only walked the last part of the way with his boy.
Later, the smell of Shen Miracle's medicine also dissipated, and Ji Pingping became the only one left behind. The wind in the town was still blowing, but no one was with him anymore, looking at the road in the distance. With the shadows of the three people and the spring that failed to arrive, he lived as their only and heaviest "freedom".
In their best years, they could not wait to rush towards a free future, leaving only the regret of staying in the small town forever.
Intention: run firmly towards your own future
