Seven years is enough for a young boy to transform into a calm CEO, and it is also enough for the feelings hidden in old books to turn into long-lasting care over time.
Lin Yanzhi, with a dusty body and unspoken regrets, returned to Ivy Lane on the snowy night of Xiaoxiao - this old lane that carried his entire youth, hiding the time he cherished most when he was young, and also hiding the people he lost with his own hands. He thought there were only memories left in the old alley, but when he pushed open the wooden door of the "Ivy Bookstore", he bumped into Shen Zhiyi holding an old book.
One is the returning light chaser, with the determination to make up for his regrets; the other is the left-behind watcher, hiding unspoken deep feelings. The faded watercolor painting, the key chain engraved with maple leaves, the yellowed writing on the title page, the disappeared canteen at the end of the alley... Old objects and memories are intertwined, bringing the two back to the time when they had each other.
Sitting around the hot water on a snowy night, flipping through old photo albums, inadvertent fingertip touches, the distance that is deliberately kept but can't help but get closer... The seven-year gap slowly dissolves in daily life, and those loves that have been buried by time gradually come to the surface.
This is a story about reunion and redemption, as well as a deep love story about "running in both directions". In the fireworks of Ivy Lane, Lin Yanzhi will eventually learn how to hold the hand that he missed, and Shen Zhiyi will also understand that some waiting will eventually happen. Welcome to return. The old alley remains the same, the affection remains unchanged, their story. Starting from this snowy night, we will continue to write a warm new chapter.
