About This Novel

This is an urban romance drama. There is an old street in Jiangcheng, and there is a flower shop on the corner called "After the Rain Stops." The store only sells one kind of flower - white gardenia. The owner, Xu Nian, is 30 years old and has opened this store for eight years. Someone asked her why she only sold gardenias, and she smiled and said, "Because someone said that the flower language of gardenias is eternal love." That person's name was Lin Shen, and she left without saying goodbye when she was eighteen years old. Twelve years later, he was thirty-three years old. She waited for the first year and cried for a whole year. After the third year, you start to get used to being alone. After waiting for the fifth year, he opened this gardenia flower shop that he liked. After the seventh year, someone chased her, but she refused. After waiting for nine years, she heard that her father had passed away, so she went to sit by the river all night. After waiting for eleven years, she began to accept that he would not come back. In the twelfth year, she was thirty years old. It was raining lightly that day, and the door of the flower shop was pushed open. A man stood in the doorway, soaked to the skin. He had lost weight, aged, had gray hair on his temples, and there was something in his eyes that she couldn't understand. He stood there, looking at her, his eyes slowly turning red. He said: "I'm back." The flowers in her hand fell to the ground. He said: "It took me fifteen years to pay off the debt. I missed you for twelve years, and I gathered enough courage to come back in three years." He said: "I know I am not worthy of asking, but I still want to ask - are you still waiting for me?" She looked at him, tears falling, but there was a smile on her lips. She said, "No wait." He was stunned. She said, "I'm not waiting for 'you come back.' What I'm waiting for is 'let's go together.'" Outside the window, the rain stopped. Twelve years of waiting, fifteen years of hard work, all ended on this day. It's not that we're waiting, we're leaving together.
