In the late summer of her senior year, Tian Manke transfers to Lu Zhi High School to finish her final year. There she meets Lin Yi, the chatty little neighbor she knew as a child. To Tian Manke, Lin Yi has always been someone who can talk to anyone. He was like that as a boy, and he’s still like that now. In her eyes, he’s sunny and cheerful, like a flower basking in the spring sunshine, untouched by storms and always shining brightly. Tian Manke left Mucheng in fifth grade, and now, in the late summer of her senior year, the two are seeing each other for the first time in seven years. Their faces have grown hazy in each other’s memories, but neither has forgotten the other’s name. On Tian Manke’s first day at her new school, as she introduces herself and says the three characters of her name, Tian Manke, Lin Yi is rushing to class after arriving late. The moment he hears her name, he stops short. For Lin Yi, it’s as if the air itself stands still for a second...
“When fate isn’t finished with you, the story isn’t over yet.”
