Sixteen-year-old Xu Huanxi bumped into class monitor Zhou Yu'an on the first day she transferred to another school. Her homework was scattered on the floor and her heart beat wildly.
He was the top student in his grade, with a neat shirt and cold eyebrows, but he put lemon candies on her desk when no one was around; she was a transfer student with a bright smile, bad at math, and blushed easily, but she quietly stuffed him with a sports drink and a "congratulations" note after the basketball game.
They tutored in the library every week, "ran into each other" in the corridor, and passed notes of encouragement backstage at art performances - no one said anything about their feelings, they just secretly liked and were secretly happy.
In his senior year of high school, Zhou Yuan suddenly transferred schools and left a letter in a book in the library, agreeing to meet after graduation. But by mistake, Xu Huanxi failed to see the letter, and the two of them missed it.
Eight years later, Xu Huanxi, editor of a children's publishing house, met Zhou Yu'an, an architectural designer who had just returned to China, at a bookstore promotion event. Time has smoothed away the cowardice of youth. When the lemon candy token appears again, and when the late letter is finally opened, will they still have the courage to say the words that have been hidden in their hearts for eight years?
"Since I was sixteen, you have been in every future of mine."
