Those who were close to each other played pranks and made funny faces, filling the atmosphere with laughter and noise. Even Oscar Evans was pulled into the fra for a photo.
Once the photos were taken, they were all uploaded to the class group chat.
In no ti, the group chat notifications exceeded "99 ".
"Let’s et again soti!"
After taking photos, everyone waved goodbye to each other.
After high school, we’d all go our separate ways. Perhaps we’d never have the chance to gather like this again.
By early July, college admission results began to appear in the class group. The class monitor even thoughtfully compiled a list of which cities everyone was heading to.
Hannah also received a phone call from Tessa Thompson.
On the call, Tessa told her she had been admitted to her first-choice university. She ntioned that it took her a long ti to decide when filling out her college applications, but in the end, she chose H University in Seaside City.
H University is also one of the nation’s prestigious schools, and many students from our high school end up going there.
So people take the opportunity during college to explore the larger world, but Tessa’s thoughts were simpler.
She just genuinely loved Seaside City—its comfort, its slow pace, its beautiful scenery, and its old streets that carried childhood mories.
As for "reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles," she had already experienced that during her school vacations.
"Hannah, do you know where I am right now? I’m by the sea. The ocean is so stunning, so vast. When the tide goes out, the beach is covered with all kinds of seashells. No excuses next ti—you must co with !"
After finishing her sentence, Tessa’s delighted cheers ca through the phone. She said she was running wildly along the beach, chasing the waves.
She was reluctant to hang up the call and insisted that Hannah listen to the sound of the waves as well.
...
By late August, Hannah purchased a plane ticket to fly to the Capital City.
Arnold Simmons was going with her.
Just as he had said before, he’d been admitted to A University, heading there with her.
Before she left, Tessa arranged to et with Hannah one more ti.
Since Tessa was staying local for college, she didn’t need to worry about the trouble of travel. There was a bus right outside her ho that went directly to H University—very convenient.
The two of them agreed to et in front of the city center library.
It was a weekend, but the new senior year of high school had already started their term.
Inside the library, they could still see students wearing our high school’s uniforms, busy working on their assignnts.
Just like they once had been.
Initially, Tessa had said they’d go shopping to pick out so clothes, but she changed her mind at the last minute and pulled Hannah into the library. "It’s lunchti right now, so the mall will definitely be crowded. Let’s go there later."
The library was very quiet, with only the occasional soft rustle of pages turning.
Hannah went up to the second floor and once again spotted that particular book on the shelf.
She reached out and took it down. Before she could open it, Tessa leaned in curiously. "The title of this book is so unusual."
"I Love You Until the End of My Days," Hannah softly read aloud, a faint smile tugging at her lips. "It really is quite unique."
Tessa took the book from her hands. "Is it a romantic love story? But this title feels like a tragedy. Don’t tell it has a sad ending?"
She flipped through it absentmindedly. The entire book was in a foreign language, which made her head hurt. It brought back mories of those intense days cramming for reading comprehension exams.
Hannah still rembered the story inside the book. "It’s not a tragedy. The ending is wonderful."
In the story, the female protagonist was the male protagonist’s salvation—the light that guided him out of the abyss of despair. She was like a sky full of stars falling into his arms, and from then on, she beca his entire world. He vowed to spend his entire life loving her and protecting her.
