A Letter on the Cool Breeze

[Mutual secret crush + Healing each other + School life + Coming of age]

Gentle, resilient girl vs. rebellious, unruly boy

Yun Li first met Jiang Wufeng in a bleak, menacing alley. He was cornering a girl and threatening her.

She hurried past, but still tossed out a warning: “The police are coming.”

She lied. The girl’s words carried on the wind through the alley and landed squarely in his ears.

The next day, Jiang Wufeng recognized her outside the arcade.

He hooked a finger around her backpack strap and pulled her toward him, then bent down until they were eye to eye.

He stared straight at her and asked, “Did you call the police yesterday?”

The wind blew, ruffling the loose strands of her hair. Yun Li lied again, shaking her head. “It wasn’t me.”

Jiang Wufeng glanced at her, his face expressionless. He let go of her and said, “Little liar.”

A few days later, they met again in the same alley, but this time, both of them were hurt.

His injuries were on the outside, plain to see.

Hers were on the inside, hard to notice.

And so their story began.

In a season that was far from beautiful, a fragile girl and a lonely boy became each other’s most precious memory.

Jiang Wufeng stayed forever in that memory. He would always belong to that summer.

Yun Li remembered that when she was with him, even the wind was gentle.

“The wind is free, and so are the clouds.”

[Maybe when the clouds cry, the wind can dry their tears / But who can comfort the wind when it sighs?]
