Hidden in the centuries-old fragrance under the locust trees in Bianjing is the life of a pair of lovers across time and space.
When Si Xifan transferred to Jingjiu High School, she ran into Chen Heting's smiling eyes in front of the red list of liberal arts and science classes - he was a naughty boy with perfect scores in physics, and she was a close friend who quietly watched his three relationships. The two schools were across the street from each other when they were in college. He borrowed her thin-framed sunglasses at sports events, but hid them in her souvenir album after graduation. In the Beijing subway, he traveled an hour's drive with a candied haws in his arms to see her. It wasn't until a car accident that he finally said in front of the hospital bed: "Si Xifan, I'm afraid of losing you."
It's just that marriage is no match for money, rice, oil and salt. In the crosstalk studio the day after the divorce, before Jia Xuming's "Once Upon a Time Slow" was finished singing, a shake caused them to fall into a ruined temple in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty. With no money and no shelter, Chen Heting huddled in a haystack to escape reality, but Si Xifan pawned her grandma's silver hairpin and set up a stall selling "pancake fruit" - this modern delicacy actually caused people in Bianjing to queue up.
