About This Novel

Yu Jiamu's youth was wrapped in a wisp of osmanthus fragrance - the moment Lu Yuan, a young man on the court, raised his head, the wind chasing the light stopped for the first time. She peeked at his back in the corridor, and he hid her name in his draft book. The two-way throbbing passed through each other repeatedly due to a combination of circumstances. As an adult, she prepared for a wedding with a new fate, but he became ill from overwork. As the flights crossed the clouds, he watched her wedding live broadcast in a foreign ward, tremblingly deleting the unsent "I like you" and writing his blessings into scrawled handwriting on the edge of the medical record; when she was trying on a dress in a bridal shop, she suddenly discovered that those years of waiting had long been quietly let go in time, and the ring on her ring finger was not a farewell to the past, but an embrace of a free life. On the wedding day, he held the faded school badge and fell asleep before dawn, and her bouquet fell on the empty chair he had reserved. Years later, a friend handed her a yellowed medical record, with "Yu Jiamu" stained with traces of potion all over the page, and she finally understood: his relief was turning around silently when he saw her happy, and her relief was putting away the scent of osmanthus on her school uniform and walking towards a new life with his unspoken "May you be free and happy". Jet lag makes love late for a lifetime, but it allows two souls to learn to let go through missing each other - just like the old cicadas shed at the end of summer, the new autumn wind is carrying longings and flying to their respective vast worlds.
