This Is My Answer
The entire cemetery was covered in thick snow, the rolling grave mounds transformed into white snow mounds, rising and falling in uneven layers. The names engraved on the tombstones were half-hidden by the snow, and the surrounding vegetation had long withered and blackened. Snow clung to the branches, shaking loose with every gust of wind.

Jiang Shiyu had imagined countless scenarios of meeting him, but never once a cemetery. When he saw the words and the photograph blurred by snow water, he was suddenly stunned.
"Yao Rui was a friend I grew up with. Our families lived close by, and we were never apart from kindergarten through high school. She was good at her studies, kind, and beautiful. Back then, I was introverted, and my parents were busy with work. She was the one who kept me company through those lonely times. I thought we would be together forever."
