Have you ever loved someone? He seemed to glow from within, like an angel who saved you, yet he pushed you toward the abyss like a demon. It was so bittersweet, so absurd that it almost seemed funny. When we were together, I didn't even have the courage to hold on tight. He was like a kite, flying farther and farther away, impossible to catch.
Later, he said, "Ni Nian, just as you wished."
After that, I couldn't eat or sleep. I thought about you every day until I felt like I was going mad. "Fu Zhi, in these days that were beautiful enough to dazzle time itself, I wanted so badly for you to stay for just one second. I loved you too humbly, and liking you was too exhausting. Let's leave it here, before it goes any further."
Theme: A youthful crush leaves a deep, lasting mark. You don't even dare to say you like them.
