Eighteen-year-old Dou Keke grew up in Switzerland. One summer, she travels to Germany with her friends and meets Ji Yangyang, studying abroad alone, at Munich's Olympic Park. Twenty-year-old Ji Yangyang graduated from high school two years ago and is studying in Germany by himself. His days are quiet and lonely, like the waters of the Isar: calm on the surface, empty underneath.
Dou Keke falls in love with him at first sight and begins an openhearted, passionate pursuit. In an unfamiliar city, she "runs into" him again and again, filling his empty summer with her cheerful chatter and soft-accented Mandarin. At first, Ji Yangyang thinks it's all coincidence, Chinese strangers looking out for one another. But their reunion on the bridge, the stream in the English Garden, the warm yellow lights of the old restaurant: she is like a sudden beam of light, making him look forward to every tomorrow.
She asks him, "Will you miss me?"
He says, "Yes."
One is a girl who grew up at the foot of the Alps, passionate and openhearted, shining into his life as indiscriminately as the summer sun. The other is a boy bearing his loneliness alone in a foreign land. He doesn't say much, but each time she turns away, he quietly follows in her footsteps.
This is a story about a summer encounter. But the moment some people appear, they are enough to light up an entire season.
The author is so good, I'm urging for more updates!
It's a very delicate book. I haven't finished reading it yet, I'm currently reading chapter 35. It seems like there's a high probability that problems will arise between them. I really hope not TT Hahaha, I take back what I said, no problem, still sweet and happy.
It's really great. The author's writing is very detailed, and the emotions are portrayed so vividly that we readers feel as if we are in their world.
