Where You Are, the Stars Bloom

In the autumn when he was sixteen, Jiang Yu met Zhou Du. She remembered that the white shirt was dazzlingly white in the sun, and he remembered that he said, "It just helps me remember today." She remembered that from then on, her eyes had a fixed focus - the back of his head, the twirl of his hair, and the slight shrug of his shoulder blades when he wrote. What she didn't know was that every time she looked out the window in a daze, he would secretly look at her through the reflection of the glass by turning his head. This is a two-way secret love. They share an eraser, a pair of headphones, and watch the stars together on the rooftop. He said he wanted to build a very tall building by the sea in the future, and she said yes, I will cut the ribbon for you. There was only a word between them, but neither of them dared to say it first. Later he went to Beijing to study and she stayed in the province. He said wait until I come back to take you to see the sea, and she said yes I will wait for you. They think the days are long, but they don't know that some people's time has already begun to count down. In the winter of her freshman year, she disappeared. Ten years later, he built a building on the seaside and named it "Yudu". Someone asked him why he never got married. He smiled and said that he had never met the right one. Only he knew that next to the yellowed peace charm in his wallet, there was a letter he had read countless times. The last sentence of the letter read: Zhou Du, you need to be well. Don't wait for me. He spent his whole life answering this sentence.
