The fan in the back row of the classroom whirred, making the midsummer heat even more sticky. In the second year of junior high school, Yu Ling saw Shuyu for the first time in the chirping of cicadas.
She was sitting by the window, reading a book with her eyes lowered. The sunlight fell on her hair, creating a light golden color. At that time, Yu Ling had a calm temperament, like a full glass bottle, with waves surging inside but never wavering on the outside; while Shuyu was lively and bright, like a half-filled bottle of water, with a slight shake, the whole room was filled with energy. Others say that they are too different and cannot go together, but young people's heartbeats never make sense.
Small notes passed in class, shadows walking side by side on the way to school, a desk lamp shared during evening self-study, and candies quietly handed out in the corner of the playground. Throughout junior high school and high school, they blended their youthful love into the trivial nature of getting along day and night. The end of his senior year of high school came unexpectedly. There was no quarrel or farewell. Shu Yu quietly went through the transfer procedures and has not been heard from since.
Yu Ling searched for him for a long time, asked his classmates and teachers, and searched through all the ways to contact him, but in the end he came up with nothing. Those years ended abruptly like a cut-off river, leaving him alone guarding the empty seat, pressing his full love into the deepest part of his heart. The days passed year by year, and nine years passed by in a blink of an eye. The boy in the past grew into a calm adult. He thought that the ignorant and deep-rooted love had long been forgotten.
A corner coffee shop in a corner of the city is bustling with people and noisy traffic. The moment she pushed the door open, Yu Ling's eyes suddenly froze.
It's Shuyu.
After nine years of not seeing her, her features and eyes were still familiar, but her face was so pale that it was almost transparent, her figure was much thinner, and she was no longer as lively and enthusiastic as before. The moment their eyes met, the past surged forward, and all those shelved thoughts, regrets, and worries broke through their shackles. The reunion after a broken mirror was supposed to be a joyful reunion after a long absence, but Yu Ling soon realized something was wrong.
He slowly learned all the truth. Over the years, she has been seeking medical treatment alone, and has been plagued by stubborn illnesses. Her body has been consumed by the pain, and there is very little time left for her.
Heartache is like a fine needle, piercing into the bones and blood. He did not choose to turn around and leave. The nine-year gap could not erase his love. Now all he has left is to be with her day and night, guarding this hard-won reunion. During the days they spent together, he took good care of her, watched the sunrise and sunset with her, walked the road they had not been able to walk when they were young, and made up for her little by little the lack of companionship in the past. Love has gone through the test of time and life and death, but instead of dissipating, it has become even tighter.
People in the world always say that fate is determined by destiny, and people gather and disperse according to fate, but it can be said that Ling doesn't believe it. Love should never be let go easily, it should be entangled until the end of time.
For countless quiet nights, he stared at the person beside him, looking into her gentle eyes, with mixed feelings in his heart.
The eyes are also the fulcrum, holding up my entire skeleton, and I long to sleep in her ocean-like eyes.
He leaned forward gently and whispered in her ear, his tone firm, hiding deep affection and obsession spanning nine years.
Dear Shuyu, our fate is not yet over.
Love should be entangled forever, and even if the road ahead is short, he will hold her hand until the last moment.
Intention: Love should be entangled forever and ever
