Sometimes,
though the sky is still at dusk,
rain suddenly begins to fall,
without the slightest warning...
Four years can feel long or short to us... Long enough that we can't predict who we'll meet,
yet short enough for a summer to slip away without a sound... leaving only the slowly cooling autumn wind to gently brush against those memories.
"Where do you want to go when you grow up, little one?" Su Shunqin asked out of the blue, lying on the grass and watching Mu Xiao gaze absentmindedly at the sunset.
"I don't know..." Mu Xiao had never thought about it. He spent every day glued to Su Shunqin. He could go anywhere, really, as long as he could be with him...
"Actually, I don't know either." Su Shunqin smiled. "But... wherever you go, I'll go too."
Mu Xiao froze for a moment. Su Shunqin had said the very thing he'd wanted to say, and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and rubbed his nose.
After a long while, Mu Xiao turned to look at Su Shunqin lying beside him. Su Shunqin was smiling at him too.
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Just then, a huge bank of clouds had turned red, slowly driven home by the wind.
The red sunset streamed past the library and across Mu Xiao's face, as if gilding it, leaving it faintly warm... Beneath the sunset, Mu Xiao's face was fixed in Su Shunqin's memory.
Red evening light scattered across Su Shunqin's face. Whenever he smiled, his eyes curved into crescents...
It was a moment they would never forget...
Theme: Life is short. When you meet someone you like, go after them boldly. Above all, don't leave yourself with regrets.
Cheers Shen Yue!!!
