Yang, a delivery rider who hustles through the streets and alleys of Guangzhou, thought he had long since stopped caring about love. He kept his head down and rode on, focused only on making a living.
Then an unexpected flower delivery brought him face to face, after two years apart, with Wang Xiaoyou, his first love.
They once shared a cramped walk-up, ate simple meals together, and weathered countless years of poverty, promising to put down roots in Guangzhou side by side. But the gulf between their circumstances, and the fickleness of human relationships, eventually drove them apart with regrets.
Now she lives in a luxurious mansion, safe and carefree year after year, with someone by her side. He still rides his old electric scooter, battling wind, rain, and scorching sun to scrape out a living amid the bustle of the city.
A wall between them, two different lives. The deep love they once shared has become nothing but the past.
He rode across the whole city, delivering countless slices of everyday life, yet in the end he lost the person who had shared his hardships but never got to enjoy the good times with him.
There is no triumphant comeback, no rekindled romance, only the helpless ache adults keep buried in their hearts and the youthful regret they can never let go of for the rest of their lives.
