This story has nothing to do with sweet romance.
He Huaizhi, you'll still go to Sun Yat-sen University, right?
At sixteen, Sang Li's life was left to rot amid her father's gambling and her mother's silent tears.
At sixteen, He Huaizhi's home was packed up in woven sacks stuffed with cash, and his whole family moved into the high-rise across the way.
Only Sang Li remained beside the mulberry tree, stubbornly waiting for a reunion that had long since slipped onto a parallel path.
Two years later, when He Huaizhi appeared at the mouth of the alley again, he was one of the top students in No. 3 High School's elite experimental class, wearing white sneakers, with countless girls trailing behind him.
That same year, Sang Li worked with all her might to get into the second elite class at No. 3 High School, just so she could see him again.
But why was his smile no longer hers alone?
But why didn't even he believe her anymore?
Perhaps she had never been his to begin with, and perhaps he had never believed her...
The dream that couldn't be hidden beneath the mulberry tree eventually became a glimmer of starlight in someone else's dream. Sang Li, He Huaizhi, and Bai Ke were all trapped in the scripts of their own lives...
Nineteen years of companionship, nineteen years of missed chances. At nineteen, He Huaizhi's life no longer had Sang Li in it...
