I’d planned to go back and see the person I’d remembered for so long, then give up once I’d seen him.
Only at the very end did I realize: we’re both the type to give up, but...
From freshman year of high school until now: ten years.
On the night Ming Yidong caught the aurora in Iceland, she received a message: “Class 10, Class of 2023, Ten-Year Reunion. Ming Yidong is cordially invited. Time: July 10 to September 9, 2030. Location: A guesthouse halfway up a mountain in a national scenic area... Compensation: x00000.”
Ming Yidong’s hand, poised to decline, stopped. As if on cue, a text from her bank arrived. Yes, she was going for the money. It absolutely wasn’t because she wanted to see that boy again, the one who’d done a few ambiguous things that led the girls in her class to ostracize her, then watched as she went abroad without saying a word.
She’d thought it would be an ordinary reunion, but it turned out to be a livestream. The chubby classmate from back then was now a variety show director and a fit hunk. The girl who’d pursued that boy and led the others in ostracizing Ming Yidong was now a rising star. There was also an award-winning actor, an award-winning actress, and a rising star in scientific research.
Ming Yidong, who had spent her life wandering from place to place, felt completely out of place.
During a game of Werewolf, Ming Yidong was forced to kill herself.
He said, “Forget that Ming Yidong is my confirmed good player. Even if she has a Werewolf card today, I’m still firmly on her side.”
Everyone else at the table thought: Has he changed this much? He’s acting like a peacock showing off its feathers. Has he lost the ability to think?
The audience watching the screen: “Great, so this is how you’re playing it? Where’s the Civil Affairs Bureau? Hurry up and get here, these two are going too far! Just send them straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and livestream the wedding night while you’re at it, hehe!”
During karaoke in a private room, he gazed at Ming Yidong in his black shirt and sang the love song she’d heard countless times, his voice low and slightly hoarse.
The fire that had been forcibly smothered only needed a tiny spark to blaze up again, hotter and fiercer than before.
From the male lead’s perspective:
I used to be timid and indecisive, unable to give you a future. Now, in front of the people who knew what happened back then, I’ll express my love to you with everything I have.
