Years later, Fan Ruo received a wedding invitation. He knew Feng Xin would be there.
That summer, she smelled of lilacs and chrysanthemums. They fell in love during the long break after the college entrance exams, thinking there would be many more summers once school began. It wasn't until a banquet ended and she left that he realized he knew almost nothing about her life.
Later, they each endured farewells, the struggle to make a living, and the illnesses of loved ones. They also fell in love with other people. At last, the questions they hadn't dared to ask back then found their answers.
But understanding why someone left doesn't mean you can take them back into your arms.
The old photos Zhang Qianqian sent, the letter Li Lin left in a suitcase, and explanations that came years too late all reminded Fan Ruo that he had lost people, and that others had once held him dear.
The wind swept across the bridge. The story began that summer, then drifted into the lives each of them went on to lead.
