Autumn in Xinghua High School always comes unexpectedly.
Transfer student Lin Yian is like a transplanted plant, with the chill of the native soil, silently taking root in the corner of the classroom. He thought he would live in the shadows forever, until he met Shen Yiqing - that young man who was as dazzling as the scorching sun, who barged into his world with undisguised enthusiasm.
The wind on the rooftop, the paint in the studio, and the empty corridor after evening self-study became footnotes to their secrets. Shen Yiqing said that she would take him out of the quagmire, but Lin Yian saw a light in his eyes that she did not dare to hope for. But the shackles of family, worldly prejudices, and carefully woven misunderstandings were like an invisible net, suffocating the two of them.
"I seem to like you."
"You are no different from them."
"I never liked you."
"I hate you."
What was said and what was left unsaid eventually became knives stabbing each other.
Reunited many years later, the cold light of the exhibition illuminated the time and scars between the two. When the truth is revealed, all the stubbornness and sacrifice are in vain. It turns out that some light, once extinguished, can no longer warm us in the long cold winter to come.
"Wish you freedom."
"You too."
They were each other's salvation, but in the end they became an old light in each other's life that could no longer light up.
