You were born before I was born, I was born before you were born

The heat of summer, the deep blue sky, the fine sunlight shone through the green leaves, the wide stone steps, the silence and kindness. The tall trees prop up a quiet and cool playground. A boy and a girl meet. One is arrogant and warm, the other is bold, innocent and lively. Ming Chan and Breeze seem to be talking about their hearts too. He and she, like protecting their most precious treasures, quietly put this inexplicable affection in their hearts.

The first time we met, the girl tossed and turned, and the distant and splendid Tianhe reflected the girl's little thoughts. The second day and the third day, every summer, the girl will go to this mysterious forest.
Teenagers are monsters that disappear as long as they are touched by mortals. Therefore, a small stick is used as a connection, and one person holds one end and walks comfortably. Then we licked the ice cream together, crossed the bridge together through the flowing water, played hide and seek together, and enjoyed the scenery together. He took off the hat that was hung on the branch for her, and blocked other monsters for her. As long as she walked behind him, she felt extremely at ease.

The boy is warm and sad. He belongs to the world of monsters, but has a human heart. A mask covers all his expressions, his face, is it spring or summer? All the monsters were trying to persuade him not to be with humans, or else you would disappear, but he just said thank you. The monsters are ugly and scary, but they love and cherish him very much, just like family, even if they can't give the boy the kind of human emotion. The girl can't see him smiling, frowning, or sad. She can only interpret another same heart with a pure heart in the company of getting along day and night.

The girl's summer vacation is once a year, so the teenager waits every year like this, maintaining a young appearance, never growing up. It is like waiting for a grand ceremony in a monotonous life, waiting for a hug in a deliberately maintained distance, waiting for a surprise in an unspeakable mind.

In this close friendship, the boy and the girl will never be able to get closer. How she liked him at first and wanted to hug him. However, when she fell from the tree, she was really afraid that he would come to catch her. She made a promise that no matter what happened, she would never touch it.

This summer is great. Such happiness is enough. Butterflies fluttered up and down near the handsome face, and the boy who took off the mask was full of satisfaction.
The boy and the girl are waiting for this summer. In the coldest winter, there is the warmest miss. The teenager waited for her in the same place day after day. The boy and the girl really wanted to touch each other and hug each other.

A monster festival completes them. The boy was touched by the lost child and disappeared little by little. After a short period of surprise, the boy happily embraced her. The girl rushed over and hugged the person she wanted to hug the most. The extreme happiness is only a few seconds, and then it falls into the most helpless, powerless and irreversible situation. The happiest moment becomes the saddest moment. The girl embraced a soul she loved but disappeared. In the girl's tears, in the youth's fluorescent light, there is the final confession, the most restrained affection, but there is no helplessness.
