The first time she saw Xu Yingxun was on a sunny afternoon.
She was sitting on the steps of a covered walkway, waiting for her brother to pick her up after school, crying over a disastrous practice exam.
He crouched in front of her and offered her a tissue.
His eyes were gentle and calm. With a casual smile, he stole her heart. "Little sis, why are you crying here all alone?"
Back then, she never connected him with her brother's friends. But later, she saw many different sides of him.
She saw him carrying his violin to a competition, his features clear in the gentle light.
She also saw him holding a trophy, brimming with youthful pride.
But what she remembered best was their last meeting.
She found Xu Yingxun dead drunk at a bar and wanted to take him home.
His soulful eyes made it seem as if every feeling he showed was sincere, yet his smile was cold.
He said self-destructive things, but insisted on making them sound like a warning. "Little sis, stop wasting your time on me. I'm just a rotten person. I don't have a heart."
But the day finally came when her long-held feelings found their answer. Xu Yingxun asked her why she had to be so stubborn.
Her answer was that she had made a promise to the boy he used to be.
The boy I love will always be bright, sunny, and shining.
I believe the first time we met was on a sunny day.
