Also known as When I Met You, I Only Liked You
I'm sure there's a girl like this: she grew up being mocked and bullied, always afraid to fight back.
Though she did nothing wrong, everyone around her treated her as if she'd wronged the whole world. Her inferiority complex made her feel like she didn't belong.
No matter how insignificant she felt, she still had hopes and dreams, and someone she loved deeply. Love made her strong.
I also believe there is a love that can transcend life and death. Who hasn't once met a young man like that? How lucky I was to find him.
Each of us has someone unattainable in our heart. He is a dream, a light bestowed by the world, a sweet gift from the passing years. Whenever you think of him, everything becomes beautiful.
When he smiles, the whole world lights up.
When you love someone, even looking into their eyes feels like gazing at a sky full of stars.
And he, along with the faint specks of light lingering in the air, is a gift the passing years have given us.

Have you ever liked someone who felt so far away?
"He is the brightest speck of light in the passing years, insignificant yet blazing like a flame. You follow his starlight all the way, unafraid even if your destination seems impossibly far away."
If he's so far away, why do you keep liking him all the same?
"Because he shines."
So, A Zheng,
if I could, I would want to spend the rest of my life doing just one thing:
loving you with all my strength.
_
A Zheng, you are the brightest presence in this world.
You are the stars filling the cold night above a lonely island,
the quiet sound of water after the waves have swept past,
you are my island,
and the warm sun that slips through the gaps between my fingers and finds its way to my eyes when I open my hand.
I love this world, and I love how you change from one moment to the next.
If we meet again, I'll reach out without hesitation, just as you once told me, and introduce myself: "Hello, my name is Gu Yusheng. Gu as in 'more than enough every year,' and Sheng as in 'life goes on forever.'"
Theme: Live toward the sun.
