"I suddenly remembered the day I moved with my mother from the south of the city to Shuiwei Lane. Come to think of it, more than five thousand eight hundred days and nights have passed since then. Every moment of them, I've been glad that I met you."
It took Shi Yue more than ten minutes to remember who the name "He Xun" at the end of the letter belonged to.
She first met He Xun at the little clinic her grandfather ran. The boy, just over ten, was pale and frail as he followed behind his mother. His long, narrow eyes were cool and emotionless, and when his chilly gaze turned toward her, it was as if he were looking at some kind of dead thing.
She didn't know what illness He Xun had, but from that day onward, she saw him at the clinic almost every week.
Only now did Shi Yue remember that, after all these years, it seemed they had never exchanged a single word. Someone whose life had barely intersected with hers had written to say he loved her before he died.
-
When Shi Yue wakes up, she has returned to the past. He Xun, a year older than her, has just moved to Shuiwei Lane. The fifth-grade boy is frail and sickly, with a maturity far beyond his years.
She is only ten this year, a full sixteen years away from receiving that letter.
But she never guessed that He Xun was not merely cold and distant.
He was a complete and utter madman.
He is like a monstrous wave whipped up by a gale, ready to tear apart and devour anyone who tries to get close.
#I swear I will defy my nature for madness and love you forever#
