[On hiatus. I'll post when it's finished]
A youthful crush began in the bleakest days of winter and ended in the bleakest days of winter.
Beneath the distant, unreachable streetlight, the girl had reddened eyes. "Liang Jingzhou, look. This snow is just like you. I can't hold on to it... yet even for a single moment, it makes my heart flutter."
The moment the streetlight burst, the whole town sank into noisy chaos. She suddenly understood: a secret crush was a joke, like a stray cat afraid of everyone it saw, like fine rain quietly falling without easing the earth's drought at all.
"Liang Jingzhou, my youth is over."
"I just don't like you anymore."
This journey through a dream was also her entire youth, or perhaps a secret crush she could never bring herself to confess.
Now, the dream was over.
The chapter of her unrequited love had to be brought to its proper close.
Her youth had passed, and her secret love had ended in regret.
They met again in a hospital corridor. The firefighter's uniform on the stretcher was stained with all sorts of colors.
He casually asked her, "Have we met somewhere before?"
Xu Yi froze for two seconds, then curled her lips into a smile and slowly said three words: "We've never met."
Later, Liang Zhoujing often said they had met too late.
He was right. Far, far too late.
