The moment she was pushed into the cold pool of the school toilet, Xu Zhi gave up her struggle. Living is an endless journey.
She dragged her soaked body towards the riverside, wanting only to sink into eternal silence. Before jumping forward, a clear voice pulled her back:
"Are you also here to watch Sunset's last performance?"
Zhou Wanti, a girl also wearing school uniform, sitting on the embankment. She suffers from a rare terminal illness and has only a few days left to live. She said: "The river water is too cold and very dirty." She shook the empty medicine box in her hand.
They are both degenerate people. Xu Zhiye's desperate scars found the only listener; Zhou Wanti's declining life found the final guardian. They cuddled together in the river breeze and sunset, sharing dreams about distant kapok and glass libraries.
"Enter there, Zhiye. Go and see for me." - This is the last tenderness Zhou Wanti left to the world, and it is also the heavy shackles on Xu Zhiye's neck.
After Zhou Wanti left, Xu Zhi also cut off everything and turned into a lonely soul burning only for an admission notice. She squeezed out every ounce of strength she could, and finally held the pass to the other side of her dream tightly in her hands.
However, when the hubbub settled, the promise was complete.
Without Zhou Wanti, the other shore is as blooming as flowers but as barren as a desert.
The power that supported her to the end instantly turned into a beacon pointing to the abyss.
She took the notice soaked in blood and tears back to the riverside where she first met.
This time, she finally indulged.
