About This Novel

In the summer when he was sixteen, the plum rain soaked the green bricks of the old alley and softened Lin Xiaoman's childhood. When the demolition bulldozers rolled over the moss-covered walls, she clutched a sketchbook full of old locust trees and watched the sunflowers on her grandfather's grave being crushed into the mud - those were the last roots of her and her grandmother in this world. Chen Nianshen's appearance was like a sudden thunderstorm. He is the son of a developer and a symbol of "ruining everything", but he always smokes silently in the corner of the studio, watching her paint the ruins with the paint she picked up. He led her to escape the gangsters, stood as a silent shadow in front of her grandmother's hospital bed, and even secretly planted a thin locust sapling on the ruins of the demolition site. Pain is the entangled root: she hates his last name, but she is greedy for the red bean bread he handed her; he is afraid that she will see the wound, but he can't help but play sad tunes for her in the studio late at night. When grandma's wicker chair was empty, when the secrets in the iron box came to light, and when the newly planted locust saplings sprouted green buds on the ruins, they finally understood: some losses are destined to be irrecoverable, but the moss will spread over the old window sill, like all the unspoken tenderness, quietly covering the scabbed past. This is a story about demolition and retention, hate and forgiveness. In the humid rainy season in the south, two teenagers who were nailed to the same ruins by fate used each other's scars to warm themselves. In the collapsed past, they slowly grew the courage to move towards the future.
