On the day when the college entrance examination ended, Wen Can saw Chen Yu in the sea of people.
The young man was wearing a school uniform, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his tall and clear back, but he seemed a bit lonely for some reason. He was alone in a sea of people.
"Chen Yu." She shouted his name loudly.
Chen Yu turned around and looked at her.
Wen Can ran through the sea of people and ran in front of him. Her blood was boiling after running. The boy's straightforward eyes made her at a loss.
She had obviously mustered up the courage to say those words to him, but at the end it turned into: "We... Will see each other again, right?"
Chen Yu looked at her, and after a moment he curled his lips and said, "Definitely."
Wen Can regarded this as an agreement. She waved to him as she ran: "Then it's settled!"
Chen Yu looked at the girl's agile and cheerful back, her smile blurred in the sunset.
In the noisy environment, he heard himself whispering: "I will definitely... I won't see you again."
-
On the day he left Beijing, Chen Yu sent a seven-second voice message to Wen Can.
"Wen Can, you have to be happy every day."
She would never know that there was an eighth second in his heart.
——I will always like you.
-
Then one day, a siren that had been restarted three times was announced to be permanently sealed.
That same day, Wen Can suddenly received a voice message from someone he had not contacted for a long time.
Only one second.
"I didn't break my promise."
