Ember Boy

In the first grade of high school, the frail and gentle Wen Xubai became classmates with Bingshan top student Jiang Lin. The young man is gentle and thin, and he always takes medicine from his body, which is so thin that it makes people feel distressed. Jiang Lin has a cold and solitary temperament, and lives alone, but he is particularly fond of Wen Xubai. Accompanying each other day and night for a whole year, the two secretly had a two-way secret love, carefully cherishing the green and hot love in their hearts, hiding their tenderness and heartbeat in their chats between classes, the evening breeze on their way home, and their companionship day and night. After entering the second year of high school, the academic pressure increased dramatically. The two of them made a tacit understanding to put aside their selfishness and prepare for further studies together. They are comrades who work side by side and are each other's only comfort. They secretly agreed that after the tense high school years, they would be honest and devoted to each other's tenderness. Full of expectations hidden deep in their hearts, supporting the two of them through the boring and arduous daily preparation for exams. But during the summer vacation of his second year of high school, Wen Xubai's long-term illness suddenly worsened, and he knew clearly that he didn't have much time left. Deep love has become his weakness, and he does not want to drag down Jiang Lin, who is full of promise, and does not want him to waste his studies and be trapped for the rest of his life. After struggling a lot, he chose the cruelest solution. Entering the senior year of high school, everyone is rushing for the final sprint. Wen Xubai, who was once gentle and close, suddenly became cold and heartless. He deliberately alienated and coldly avoided all interactions, cut off all tenderness, and looked coldly at Jiang Lin who was full of doubts, abruptly severing the bond between the two for two years. Jiang Lin endured a whole year of suffering and grievance. She gritted her teeth and prepared for the exam with confusion and sadness, and lived up to her expectations and successfully entered the ideal university she had longed for. Until the college entrance examination came to an end, what he was waiting for was not reconciliation, but the sad news of Wen Xubai's death from illness and a tearful suicide note. It turns out that the indifference and alienation for a whole year was never boredom, but the forbearance of a terminal illness, the tender perfection that tried its best to protect his bright future. After several years of studying, Jiang Lin gave up the flowers in the outside world and returned to his alma mater to teach. Year after year, the world is new, the podium and desks remain the same, but that gentle young man is no longer there. That silent love and painful farewell turned into the embers of longing that would never go out for the rest of his life, and became a feeling that he could not let go of for the rest of his life. Purpose: True love is to fulfill the other person, to carry the expectations of the deceased, and to go on the road ahead in life.
