He remembered there was always a voice calling to him by his ear.
When he wanted to hear it again, no matter what he did, he couldn't.
A song she once sang came to mind. It was almost too fitting.
You still live in my memories, refusing to leave.

"Lu Haoyan, your name really does suit you."
The boy paid no attention to the girl's words.
Still talking to herself, the girl continued, "Just like the road I take to pursue you, it's so, so long, as if it has no end. Just like your name: Lu Haoyan, a road so long."
For a moment, the girl looked lost in thought. Something stirred deep inside the boy. He couldn't say what he felt, only that it was unpleasant.
Then he heard her call to him again. "Hey, Lu Haoyan, how about I call you 'Long Road' from now on?"
The girl was used to his silence by now, and kept calling him "Long Road, Long Road."
The setting sun at dusk stretched their shadows out long.
After walking a few steps, the girl started skipping again, her ponytail swinging from side to side.
But the boy walking beside her was like a gentle breeze and bright moonlight.
They seemed to belong to two different worlds.

I once tried to enter your world, but it seemed that the moment I took my first step, you pushed me away. You were the one who didn't want me.
Theme: I was brave.
