"I won't let you go."
I shook off his hand. "You can leave; I don't need you anymore."
I turned away, not wanting to look into his eyes.
"Guo Huai, there will be many girls who will like you in the future. You will live a very ordinary life..."
"Guo Fang, don't you want to see the fireworks?"
I clenched my fists and walked forward step by step, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably.
"I want to see them, but the fireworks we watch aren't like this..."
"Guo Fang, look quickly."
I instinctively turned back, and a cluster of fireworks burst in the sky.
"Fireworks..."
"Guo Fang, our dreams have come true. Our fate will break free from its shackles."
I stared at him blankly as he reached out his hand to me.
"Guo Fang, come with me."
"Guo Huai..."
I looked at him; there was a sparkle in his eyes.
I slowly extended my hand and placed it in his palm.
Guo Huai, this time it's your turn to lead me forward.
The fireworks bloomed in the sky before falling down.
I turned away and quietly wiped my tears dry.
Guo Huai held my hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
"Guo Fang, do you remember this place?"
Zhao Xiangchun hesitated for a moment before speaking up.
"Huh?"
I turned my head, feeling a bit confused.
"This is the place I always wanted to come to when I was a child."
Zhao Xiangchun looked at me with a faint smile of bitterness.
"My mom always wanted me to get into Tsinghua University, but I preferred playing games, which led to many arguments with my dad."
"Yeah."
"When I was sixteen, my dad smashed my game console..."
"I was so heartbroken that I just sat here feeling gloomy."
"And then?"
"Then, a girl who looked like a monkey sat down next to me and told me to move over so she could cry. She wanted to post an advertisement."
"Huh?"
I felt a bit embarrassed; this plot seemed somewhat familiar.
"I wanted to curse her out, but then my stomach growled, and I remembered I hadn't eaten all day."
"That's really unfortunate."
"She probably thought the same thing. She tossed me a cold, hard bun and then pulled out a game console, asking if I wanted to play."
"And then you played together?"
"Yeah."
Zhao Xiangchun nodded, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"That was the first time I played games with a girl, and also the first time I sat with a girl watching fireworks."
I looked at Zhao Xiangchun, feeling a bit sentimental.
It turns out that everyone has one significant moment in their life.
Zhao Xiangchun lowered his head and began to tell his story.
"That light has been hidden deep in my heart until today when I learned she found her happiness."
"I thought we would never cross paths again until..."
"Until what?"
I looked at him curiously.
"Until..."
Zhao Xiangchun gazed at me, his eyes filled with conflict.
I waited quietly, sensing a guess forming in my mind.
"Until I heard she was abandoned, and I wanted to do something for her."
"What do you want to do?"
I laughed and patted his shoulder.
"Hey, you’re not thinking of getting revenge for her, are you? That's not your style."
"No."
Zhao Xiangchun shook his head, a hint of melancholy flashing across his face.
"I just think that such a good girl shouldn't be treated like this."
"What are you planning to do about it?"
I tilted my head, looking at him.
"I..."
Zhao Xiangchun opened his mouth, ready to say something when I pointed behind him and shouted, "Look, it's God K!"
"Where?"
Zhao Xiangchun jumped up suddenly, looking around frantically.
"Dong Guofang, how dare you trick me? You're asking for trouble!"
Zhao Xiangchun realized what I was doing and glared at me in frustration.
I smiled and said nothing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Zhao Xiangchun frowned, looking displeased.
"I'm laughing at how foolish you are."
I stood up and gave him a playful knock on the head.
"At your young age, trying to act all profound—I've seen more love than you've had meals."
"Really?"
Zhao Xiangchun rubbed his head, mumbling.
"Then lend me some money?"
"Lend? What do you mean 'lend'? You're being so rude."
I gave him another playful knock on the head.
