Maybe he did like me once, Shen Ning often thought.
At least all those years of my youth weren't wasted for nothing: elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and even work. His shadow was everywhere.
After all these years, they knew each other so well they were almost inseparable, like old friends who had known each other for years and suddenly met again.
Old friends.
A chasm Shen Ning could never cross.
Since she couldn't cross it, why not just enjoy what they had?
Years later, separated by a screen, they spoke the promise they'd made long ago: "Meet me at the top."
Yes, they both did it, and they did it very well.
"She's unique, she's incredible."
"You stood in the light, and so did I. I looked up at you, and you looked up at me. In the end, I lowered my head and stopped looking. But even with my head bowed, it was still you."
Goodbye, my old friend.
