The seventeen-year-old wind blew through the camphor trees in No. 1 Middle School, and also blew away the old scars that Lin Wanqiu had hidden for ten years.
When Shen Zhixing reappeared at her desk as a transfer student, the past that had been deliberately buried could no longer be hidden - the red rope at the alleyway of his childhood, the admission notice torn to pieces on a rainy night, the silent confrontation in front of his mother's hospital bed, and the light in his eyes that never went out.
She is a perfect academic who is trapped by poverty and depression. She is used to arming herself with indifference, but she is defeated by the pill box and notes he handed her. He is a talented young man who is bound by his family and past. He builds a wall of his heart with laziness and alienation, but he only lowers all guard against her.
From solving problems side by side in the physics competition to tit-for-tat in the student union election; from guarding the teaching building on a rainy night to rewriting their volunteers before the college entrance examination, they stumble in each other's world, which is both salvation and bond.
When anonymous reports shattered their peace, and when family pressure choked their throats, they finally understood: the so-called reunion is never about going back to the past, but about walking together with scars all over their bodies toward a future with each other.
This is a story about youth, redemption and two-way running. It is also a long journey of two lonely souls illuminating each other in the dark night.
