Four years ago, I survived the flood and forgot my vow. Since then, during the rainy seasons each year, I would see the village and the dead people from before the disaster once again. This strange phenomenon entangled me, causing me to lose my life and lose myself. I struggled alone, until I met an acquaintance in the mental hospital. He could see the same alternate world as I could. We were supposed to become teammates in escaping from the supernatural events; however, there was one problem—my impression of this boy was not very good:
[It was raining heavily outside the window of our old school. From the window, it looked like trees and houses were floating in a vast ocean. A girl sitting by the window was nervously fiddling with the corner of her uniform, and she murmured, “Don’t like her anymore, like me instead.”
“Huh?” The boy froze for a moment.
“When I grow up, I’ll be smarter and prettier than Lin Shilan.”
He didn’t respond, as if he hadn’t heard. She sighed and said, “I’m going home.”
Her figure vanished into the howling wind and rain, and the boy suddenly snapped to attention. “Alright then.” His words were uncertain, unsure whether she could hear him.
I should feel moved for this pair of lovers, provided I’m not Lin Shilan.]

[Did you make an oath? Do you believe that the oath will be fulfilled? 】
Once again we’re back here, on the rainy season when I was seventeen years old.
It was raining heavily outside the window of the old school, making it look like trees, houses, and houses were floating in a vast ocean.
In front of the window, a girl’s fingers tightened on her school uniform’s corner and she mumbled.
“Don’t like her, like me.”
“Huh?” The boy was taken aback.
“When I grow up, I will be smarter and more beautiful than Lin Shi Lan.”
“…” He didn’t answer, as if he didn’t hear her.
She sighed and said, “I’m going home.”
When her figure melted in the howling wind and rain, the boy suddenly woke up.
“That’s good.” who knows if she could hear his words.
…
I should also be touched by this pair of lovers.
If only, I wasn’t called Lin Shi Lan.
