In the second semester of their sophomore year, Xu Zixiu confesses to Gu Ru, and the two begin dating in secret. They think they’ll be able to attend college in the same city after the university entrance exams, but Xu Zixiu’s father’s company goes bankrupt, and he disappears without a trace. Five years later, she has been working for a year since graduation, while he returns from Cambridge with a master’s degree.
