So Young 2: Never Gone

 　　Your promises, your traces, the memories of you, and the fact that you're still here—

　　I still remember you. Back then, you were a cheerful, handsome boy, the most handsome boy in everyone's eyes. Although you left later, your heart never left. I still remember your promise to me; you said I was everything to your youth, and no matter what happened, you would still be waiting for me in the same place. What you said to me will stay with me until I find you in that same place. At that moment, I will never be separated from you again. For you: "Is there someone in your heart who left, but life goes on? The traces he left are gradually erased by the mundane days. Those distant and bright years of youth have slowly withered in the yellowed and faded memories. As time flows by, will that person still be waiting for you in the same place?" —From "So Young: You're Still Here"

I lost my youth here.

  　　My name is Xiaomeng. 　　Whether it's night or day, I love to have wild, unrealistic dreams. 　　I often stand under the purple chinaberry tree in my yard, laden with jujubes, looking up at the strangely shaped branches and stars overhead. The rooftops are covered in fuzzy, dark green pine flowers, and at night, the pale moon rises gracefully from between their shyly closed petals, like an oval wisp of white smoke. 　　My imagination is unusually sharp. Seeing a pond makes me think of singing frogs, pink water lilies, damp water plants, indifferent fireflies, cicadas with muddy shells, and the old, crooked willow tree on the bank of my childhood home, growing sadly and awkwardly. I long to straighten it, but I'm too weak to do it. 　　When I was five, I sat high on the branches of the old willow, wildly fantasizing about leaving everything on earth and living in the deepest part of the pond.

The Lycoris radiata of that year

     (I) Why can't we be together forever?     Looking at the pot of spider lilies covered in green leaves on the balcony,     Mu Xiao murmured softly, "It'll be a long time before they bloom." The striking green leaves almost burned her eyes.     This spider lily was a gift from a strange boy dressed in green. He always appeared unexpectedly; sometimes he would disappear in the blink of an eye, but other times he would appear behind her in the next second.     "Hi! Manzhu!" Mu Xiao, lost in thought while gazing at the spider lily, was startled again by the boy downstairs.     "Manzhu, what a coincidence, to see you like this." The boy's voice was clear and sunny.     A coincidence? He clearly came specifically to see Mu Xiao!     Mu Xiao blushed: "I've told you so many times, my name is Mu Xiao!"     The boy looked up at Mu Xiao and smiled, revealing his white teeth: "But I like to call you M...

5. Male best friend

  　　"So you were second place!" Lin Yuqin exclaimed. "Yeah, that's right, I was the second place winner who got a nosebleed back then," Shen Yeran said with a smile. Lin Yuqin blushed at the mention of this. [Oh! You're the second place winner who embarrassed me! Ah! My embarrassing history!] "You have the nerve to say that!" "Hahahaha..." And so, a pair of figures chased each other across the playground, Yin Zhitao watching with gritted teeth. [Hmph! Lin Yuqin, you just wait! Don't say I didn't warn you!] 　　(Lin Yuqin's recollection) 　　"The finals are about to begin! All contestants, please prepare!" Finally, it was time. I was constantly on edge until I was ready for a perfect dunk. Okay! Now! I used all my strength and jumped with all my might. The result... I was exposed... Just then, an arrogant boy came to steal the ball, and... I sat on his chin and neck... Then he got a nosebleed... I almost collapsed... From...
