The rural-born protagonists fall in love as innocent middle schoolers, part ways under the pressures of high school, find new loves in the freedom of university, then fade into silence in the real world. Once they leave campus and enter society, life's burdens wear away their youthful passion. The shy love that blossomed in the countryside eventually falls quiet, leaving only the wildflowers carpeting the hillside and the stone where they pledged their love, preserving the springtime of their youth that can never return.
