In middle school, she watched him approach against the light, her heartbeat skipping again and again.
That day, Ji Yuesheng walked toward her step by step. His long, fair fingers gently clasped her arm, and his eyes held a sincerity so subtle it was almost impossible to notice. "They want to take pictures of my hands. I don't want them to. I only want you to take pictures of them."
By high school, she had stopped hoping that he, who had left without a word, would ever appear again.
But that day, his crisp white shirt swayed lightly in the breeze. Ji Yuesheng stopped and gave her a faint smile. "Long time no see."
Later, at a class reunion, Meng Chi met his gaze, and a faint ache stirred in her heart.
Goodbyes always come eventually. As for regrets... perhaps they are best left to memory. This time, she spoke first. "Long time no see."
They would each set off toward a better life of their own.
