Features: Pure love, tragic ending, allowing you to release your emotions in the author's novel. The book tells of endless things, every story has countless variations, and every variation can extend infinitely into broader spaces. This book is meant as a gift for childhood, and youth as well—it slips away in an instant, dies away, becomes fireworks flickering in the past, and becomes forever in the hearts of others. The author originally planned to write a heartfelt afterword to talk about the various experiences of writing novels over these three years, the author's confusion, the author's dangers, and the beauty the author wanted to bring to you. But the author sat in front of the computer for a whole month, repeatedly rewriting, only to get stuck at the very beginning. The author doesn't know if it's because the author's life has begun to change or if the author's ramblings have finally reached their end. Perhaps, the author no longer needs those self-reassuring words. Over these three years, the author has lived in three different cities, met different people, and sung different songs in different places. The author always leaves without saying goodbye, the author is someone who has never appeared. When you realize the author's existence, the author might already be gone. The only trace the author can leave in others' lives is a story the author once told—a story that made you cry, laugh, and stand motionless, eyes wide open. The author finds this interesting, so the author will tell you a story. The author is a storyteller, the author can change the plot midway to change the ending, or start from the end and recall bit by bit. This is an endless thing, every story has countless variations, and every variation can extend infinitely into broader spaces. The author and the author's friends think this is like their lives—you don't know how to dress your face tomorrow, and you don't know which yesterday will change your today. But the girl the author once liked also said that all stories have only one ending. There is also a story of this girl in this book, on a certain page, she is a fantasy. The author made this fantasy collapse at the end of the story because, in reality, this girl never appeared again after a single word, she never appeared, and she didn't even know the author often thought of her.
