Lin Wanxing had a crush on his classmate Jiang Ci for three years in high school, but he never confessed. After graduation, she went to Beijing to work hard. Seven years later, she returned to the small town because her father was ill. When she asked about Jiang Ci's current situation in her best friend Chen Mo's tavern, she was told that Jiang Ci had died in a car accident three years ago.
The news shattered her. All the memories that she thought had been sealed came back - the first meeting in the first year of high school, the letters carved on the tree, the deliberate detour just to see him one more time, the letter she wrote dozens of times but never handed over. She completely collapsed that night. In her dream, the seventeen-year-old Jiang Ci smiled at her and said, "Long time no see."
The story takes a turn when she finally goes to Jiang Ci's house to say her final farewell. Jiang Ci's mother recognized her and took out an iron box - inside was Jiang Ci's diary, a letter that had never been sent, and a class photo with a star drawn on the side of her face.
She finally knew that he had been secretly in love with her for many years.
It's a pity that he stayed at twenty-four forever, and she didn't understand until she was twenty-seven that they had loved each other, but they were separated by life and death, and no one had time to say it.
