That summer, just as she thought she was about to begin a peaceful, uneventful college life, she saw once again the familiar yet distant face that had captivated her throughout high school...
Zhang Yining had just started college when she met Chen Yijiang, a new recruit who was her military training instructor.
At first sight, Zhang Yining thought he was the person she had known before.
The heart that had been as still as water since the college entrance exams ended began to pound again. During their brief time together at military training, she got to know Chen Yijiang better. A chance encounter left its mark on the very beginning of her college life.
For the next four years, she often found herself thinking of Chen Yijiang. At first, she thought those feelings came from her past relationship. She had believed that no one could compare to the one she had loved before. But as the days passed, the sudden turmoil in her heart refused to settle.
After graduation, her longing to see that face again only grew stronger. Once she entered the working world, Zhang Yining kept waiting for her chance. And when the day finally came, she saw him again. This time, she was determined to understand her own heart. Had memories of someone else gilded Chen Yijiang with a glow that wasn’t truly his, or had he always been that beam of light that pierced her gray youth and happened to fall upon her? She still didn’t know...
