The next day, he learned that the girl had transferred schools and left. That night, he had a bizarre dream in which he returned to the day he went to school.

He agreed without hesitation, and the time he spent with the girl at the temple fair made him feel happy.

Her parents came again, and before he could even react, the girl was taken away again.

But the next moment, he found himself back in daytime, and he still agreed without hesitation.

When her parents came to take her away, he mustered up his courage, grabbed the girl's hand, and ran away.

There were so many people at the temple fair that the girl's parents were stuck in the crowd.

He and she were walking on the beach, and the girl was squatting on a rock by the sea.

He just sat there next to the girl, watching her quietly.

As time passed, clusters of fireworks bloomed in the sky, their brilliant light illuminating their faces.

He turned his head, about to smile and say something to the girl.

But then he suddenly realized that the girl was gone.

Then, he woke up.

He remembered this dream vividly. Later, after graduating from university, he had the opportunity to study abroad, but he gave it up.

After hearing the story, Guangyou and Xiao Ai had almost finished eating their takoyaki.

A glint flashed in Ai's eyes, and her peripheral vision involuntarily fell on Kyou, who was talking to a young man beside her.

After saying that, the young man took out a cigarette, lit it, and put it in his mouth, looking melancholy.

The wisps of smoke rose slowly into the air, mingling with the heat from the takoyaki.

Through the thin smoke, Guangyou could see traces of tears on the young man's slightly raised face.
