Late Fireworks on Snowy Night

In the summer when she was eighteen years old, Xia Miao met a junior in the library. He only asked a physics question casually, but she remembered those beautiful eyes with a smile. At that time, there was still half a month before the college entrance examination. She smiled and said, "I'll treat you to milk tea next time." No one knew that fate was already counting down. After the college entrance examination, Xia Miao ran out of the examination room with a smile, only to be greeted by late bad news - her grandma had passed away half a month ago, and her parents had hidden it until now in order to allow her to take the exam with peace of mind. That summer, the person who loved her the most and loved her the most since childhood left. When she entered Sioux City University in September, she unexpectedly met him again. Lu Yu, a junior in the Department of Finance, opens a small cafe outside campus. He still had a gentle smile and said, "Hello, elementary school girl." They repaired light bulbs together, watched the fireworks on New Year's Eve, and sat on the sofa in the rainy night at an ambiguous distance. During the winter vacation, Lu Yu asked her to watch the fireworks. She waited until the early morning on a snowy night, but the fireworks never lit up. Lu Yu used a white lie to say that there was something urgent that day and his phone was turned off and he didn't have time to tell her. Until one day, she couldn't find him anymore. On the hospital bed, Lu Yu closed his eyes. Ji Linchuan said that the terminal brain cancer started on the day of the winter vacation. Xia Miao cried for the first time when he was unconscious. Before the May Day holiday, he opened his eyes and said, "Come and see the sea with me." At dusk on the beach, Xia Miao poured out all the love she had not had time to express. She talked about the future, about graduation, and about many, many years later. Lu Yu listened quietly, with a smile on his lips, and then he gently leaned his head on her shoulder, and the sound of the waves gently covered everything. At the funeral, Ji Linchuan handed her a letter. The letter read: "I didn't break the promise that day. I wanted to tell you that I like you. It's just that Ayu has to take the first step. In the next life, you must find me sooner." Xia Miao clutched the letter and looked up, the heavy snow from that winter was falling again in the sky. She said softly: "Ayu, you must find me early in the next life." Intention: Thank you for coming, and I don't regret you leaving, because love is never "too late".
