   People unwilling to forget, the sudden "resurrection" of the dead, and the unspoken love of the living. The truth at the end elevates the entire story; exceptionally skillful writing (as expected of He Xue).

   Curator note

   The text is permeated with the themes of "obsession" and "rain," and the emotion expressed by the "rain" at the end is truly genuine. (Excellent comment)

   It's a sequel to, or rather, the ending of, "Those Things About Not Replying to Your Girlfriend's Messages for Three Days." No angst, just pure sweetness, so read with confidence.
