In his freshman year of high school, Ji Shuyang made the most rebellious decision in his life - transferring from liberal arts to science class without telling his parents. He met the bright-eyed young man Zhuang He in the stairwell. They once met for competitions, met for the college entrance examination, and shared the sweetness of orange-flavored fruit candies in the summer night wind.
However, during her senior year of high school, her seat was always empty. Zhuang He thought she just transferred schools, buried all his thoughts in the sea of questions, and determined to find her to confess after the college entrance examination.
He didn't know that depression had taken away seventeen-year-old Ji Shuyang that winter.
When he came to her home in the midsummer after the college entrance examination, holding the admission letter, he only saw a box of her belongings.
"She's gone... Died last winter."
The cicadas chirped deafeningly, and the love letter hidden in the boy's pocket had not yet been sent. The summer wind blew through the empty benches, never bringing back the girl who would squint her eyes when eating sweets.
Purpose: Even if the story has regrets, those moments of spending the summer together, fighting for dreams, and having one person's heart beat faster have been frozen in time forever, and they are the most precious gift of youth.
