Three years after our breakup, you came back to China, and I'm just giving up. Why are you cryi

A gentle breeze caresses the face, and dazzling fireworks bloom in the distance. Everyone welcomes the New Year on New Year's Day. The joyful laughter and chatter of countless homes pierce through the endless darkness, drifting into every corner.

Lu Hao pushed Su Yu along the dimly lit riverbank without streetlights, with only the not-so-bright moonlight quietly watching them.

Looking at the dark clouds in the distance, Zhou Mengmeng whispered, "It looks like it's going to rain."

"But the weather forecast didn't say it would rain today." Ning Shu blinked in confusion, her little face full of bewilderment.

Seeing her bewildered expression, Lin Ran couldn't help but smile and teased her gently, "When it rains, you'll receive a text message on your phone saying a downpour is coming."

These words made Xiao Xiyue, Fang Ruoyun, and Zhou Mengmeng burst into laughter.

Only Ning Shu blinked her clean, bright doe eyes, looking at everyone with a bewildered and innocent expression.

Lu Hao, standing to the side, seemed oblivious to the laughter and chatter around him.

Lu Hao seemed not to hear, and silently pushed Su Yu.

Seeing that Lu Hao didn't react, Zhou Mengmeng blinked her bright eyes, a sly glint in them.

With her small hands behind her back, she walked briskly around to Lu Hao's side, her small body swaying gently to the rhythm of the evening breeze, and her clear and melodious singing voice slowly began to rise:

"A tiny cloud is slowly coming by; please rest your feet and stop for a moment..."

The sweet, childlike melody gently spread out, settling on the quiet riverbank.

Lu Hao paused, looking at Zhou Mengmeng who was jumping and singing in front of him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his heavy heart felt as if it had been hit by something, causing ripples.

Fang Ruoyun, who was standing to the side, understood Zhou Mengmeng's intention. She smiled gently and quickly walked to Zhou Mengmeng's side.

With her back to Lu Hao, her gentle voice slowly spread out, clear yet soothing:

"I came from the mountains, bringing orchids, which I planted in my little garden, hoping they would bloom early..."

Immediately afterward, Ning Shu reacted, taking small steps to Zhou Mengmeng's side. Facing Lu Hao, she smiled sweetly and soothingly, her clear and cheerful voice carried on the breeze:

"Please take my song back to your home, please leave your smile behind..."

Lin Ran swayed as she walked past Lu Hao and stood beside Fang Ruoyun.

She turned around, her gentle eyes looking at Lu Hao and Su Yu sleeping in the wheelchair, her voice soft and tender:

"The dark sky hangs low, accompanied by bright stars; insects fly, insects fly, who are you thinking of...?"

The gentle singing of the four people, like a relay, lingered in the evening breeze along the riverbank.

Lu Hao's lips moved slightly, his heart filled with a myriad of emotions, but his throat felt as if it were blocked, and he could not utter a sound. He could only stare fixedly at the four gentle and bright figures in front of him.

Just then, a lithe and graceful figure twirled and came to Lu Hao.

Xiao Xiyue moved gracefully backward, a bright and gentle smile on her face, her ethereal and melodious voice as clear and melodious as a lark's:

A smile on my face, I hum a country tune, letting my thoughts drift in the evening breeze. All my loneliness and sorrow are carried away by the wind and forgotten on the country lanes...

The songs gradually made Lu Hao's heart start to beat again.

He was about to open his mouth to respond to the five people's tenderness when a voice, extremely weak yet incredibly clear, pierced through the singing and entered his ears:

"Lu...Lu Hao..."

……

"Lu Hao, why did you decide to bring me to the music festival today?"

Like a happy little girl, Su Yu linked arms with Lu Hao and asked with great joy.

Faced with her question, Lu Hao beside her remained silent, but gently took her hand and led her through the crowded and bustling crowd to the front row of the venue.

Su Yu opened her bright eyes wide with surprise and couldn't help but whisper angrily, "Oh ho, you actually bought a first-row ticket? It must have been very expensive. You didn't even know how to save money."

She kept rambling on, with her own little complaints, but Lu Hao beside her remained silent, his gaze fixed on the stage in front of him, unusually quiet.

Su Yu pouted slightly, feeling a little unhappy, but she didn't throw a tantrum. She simply held Lu Hao's arm quietly and rested her head gently on his shoulder.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu felt Lu Hao pull his arm away from hers.

She watched him turn and walk backstage, puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Lu Hao, where are you going?"

She instinctively wanted to take a step to catch up, but her legs seemed to be nailed to the spot, completely unresponsive.

She could only watch helplessly as Lu Hao's figure walked further and further away, finally disappearing into the backstage area.

A wave of panic washed over her, and helplessness and confusion enveloped her.

At that moment, she felt like a kitten abandoned by the whole world, standing alone in the bustling crowd, with boundless loneliness and coldness enveloping her entire world.

Just as she was filled with fear, Lu Hao's gentle and affectionate confession came through the speakers above the stage and into her ears.

That confession, filled with love and regret, illuminated her dark and panicked heart, rekindling her light and hope.

She looked up at Lu Hao on the stage, her heart filled with joy yet also with doubt.

She didn't understand why Lu Hao would say he couldn't see him.

She could see him clearly; he was standing in the center of the stage.

And then there's "Evening Breeze," with its gentle melody and touch of sadness. It's not exactly a beautiful song, but it inexplicably touches people's hearts.

She couldn't control her tears, and no matter how much she wiped them away, they wouldn't stop.

Just as she was feeling frustrated, the melodious singing suddenly stopped.

The next second, a pair of gentle, large hands covered her cheeks, and the thumbs wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Su Yu was about to open her mouth when Lu Hao's figure in front of her gradually became blurry.

Her eyes were filled with panic, and the fear in her heart was about to overwhelm her.

The scene before my eyes collapsed rapidly; the music festival, the surrounding crowd, and Lu Hao in front of me all disappeared.

The surroundings turned into a pure white expanse, boundless, deathly silent and empty.

Su Yu stood blankly in the center of the pure white world, at a loss for what to do.

A few seconds later, the pure white disappeared, and the scene changed again.

The familiar outline of the teaching building gradually came into view. A cool breeze swept through the corridor, carrying the unique youthful atmosphere of the campus.

She looked down and realized that she was standing in the corridor of the teaching building, her little hands gripping the railing.

A boy slowly walked down the corridor.

Just as Su Yu subconsciously opened her mouth to greet someone, a series of songs suddenly rang in her ears.

"A tiny cloud slowly drifts by..."

"I come from the mountains, carrying orchids..."

"A smile on her face, humming a country tune..."

She looked around, but couldn't find the source of the sound.

Just as she was about to give up, she realized that the boy she wanted to greet had already walked away.

Su Yu was startled, as if something incredibly precious was slipping away little by little.

Overwhelmed by panic, she had no time to think and instinctively climbed over the corridor railing.

The next second, he plunged into an endless abyss of darkness.

A feeling of weightlessness swept over my entire body, and the illusion before my eyes shattered completely.

Pure white, school buildings, teenagers, singing—all vanished.

When I opened my eyes again, it was no longer a vast expanse of white, but the pitch-black night, the evening breeze by the river, and the cool moonlight.

And there were five blurry figures standing in front of them.

She opened her mouth instinctively and, in a weak voice, called out the name that had been with her throughout her youth:

"Lu...Lu Hao..."
