She sat opposite on the sofa, letting her hair down. The slightly wavy chestnut hair softened her features and gentled her temperament. Her warm smile made her look very approachable.
Hua Yuezhi and Wei Jinyan sat on the sofa to one side, quietly watching this side.
"I will continue recording, and no one else will know about the recording except for those present."
"Next, please relax, Lele... Just do as your sister-in-law says, don't be nervous. We're just having a simple chat."
"If you feel unwell at all, just call me. I'll protect you, okay?"
Hua Changle nodded.
Wei Qiao smiled and said, "Okay, let's begin."
Relaxing light music, accompanied by the white noise of a rainy day, wafts through the air.
How old is Lele?
"17... no, I'm 18 now. I just haven't turned 18 yet."
"Then your sister-in-law should give you a gift. What would you like?"
"...There's nothing I want."
"Do you have any wishes? Maybe I can help you fulfill them."
"My wish...I want to get better..."
Wei Qiao's voice seemed to possess a certain magic, and combined with the white noise that stimulated her cerebral cortex, it made her, who hadn't slept enough the night before, quickly close her eyes.
What's wrong with your body?
"I'm sick..."
"Why are you sick?"
Why do we get sick?
She was led to a dimly lit place, where the night wind blurred her surroundings, and she only felt very cold.
"Because I'm injured."
How did you get injured?
She pushed aside the fog with a puzzled look, took two steps forward, and saw what appeared to be two people standing in front of her.
One was a woman who covered the upper half of her face, and the other was a blond man.
"Sister Ye...Third Sister..."
Wei Qiao was taken aback: Who is this?
She steadied herself and continued to ask:
What did they do?
She took two steps forward, wanting to talk to them, but as soon as she took one step, "bang!" a dazzling firework exploded in the sky.
The fireworks, clustered and sparkling, mingled with the stars, stealing her attention.
"Fireworks...they're setting off fireworks."
"Are we setting off fireworks for you?"
"no."
Hua Changle repeated:
"It's her birthday, they're setting off fireworks for her. Not mine."
The three people present were stunned.
More than eight months ago, on the ninth day of the eleventh lunar month, Hua Anning celebrated her eighteenth birthday.
A half-hour fireworks display.
They are all here.
It was around that time—
Hua Changle committed suicide by jumping off a building.

Just guess, guess as much as you want!
I've seen some comments that touched on the core idea. I hope you can guess a little bit, but please don't guess everything at once.
Hint: The introduction states that "life is only once".
