Winter's Appointment to the Summer Solstice (Part Two)

 　　White clouds drifted in the sky, playfully scattering them with every gust of wind.

　　Just as the man slowly approached Xia Zhi, someone suddenly shouted, "You, aren't you that, that big star Dong Yue?" Both the man and Xia Zhi looked towards the girl who had shouted. For a split second, Xia Zhi carefully examined the man in front of her. Was he a star? she wondered to herself. Before
　　Xia Zhi could react, the girl excitedly shouted, "It really is! You're Dong Yue, my idol!"
　　The man seemed used to it, glancing indifferently at the girl before turning to look at Xia Zhi.
　　A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, her black hair swaying slightly, revealing a kind of beauty.
　　With the girl's shout, many people were immediately drawn over, and the man instantly became the center of attention.
　　Several enthusiastic fans even held pens, asking the man to sign their arms, while others took out their phones and kept snapping photos of him.
　　Without a word, Xia Zhi rushed into the crowd, grabbed the man's hand, and ran.
　　Her long hair fluttered, her skirt swaying gently like waves on the sea.
　　The man's hand was held tightly; he truly couldn't understand why this strange girl was pulling him along.
　　Behind her, he seemed to smell the faint fragrance of crape myrtle blossoms emanating from her, a small petal drifting down from her head.
　　They ran for an unknown amount of time, or even where they were, until Xia Zhi stopped, seemingly exhausted, panting heavily. She looked back, and after confirming that the people weren't chasing them, she released her grip on the man's hand.
　　"Those people shouldn't be catching up," Xia Zhi smiled at the man.
　　"Why did you pull me along?" the man returned her cold gaze.
　　"To help you!" Xia Zhi replied without hesitation. "Those people are so annoying, like paparazzi, only satisfying their own selfish desires, then asking so many questions..." Xia Zhi complained as she spoke, like a spoiled child.
　　The man looked at Xia Zhi for a long time before finally uttering a few words: "Xia Zhi?"
　　"Hmm?" Xia Zhi was taken aback at first. "Huh? How do you know my name?"
　　The man was speechless for a moment, then said, "Didn't you tell me yourself?"
　　Xia Zhi blinked. "Oh, I think so..."
　　A faint sweetness filled the air, a sweetness without any reason.

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...
