“I still can't change. Or maybe I can only really look at the sky when I'm with Ye Xiaoyu.”
A realistic coming-of-age story, not a sugary romance. It has the bitterness of everyday life, but also the pure warmth between two young people. Hardship isn't artificially whitewashed, and kindness isn't a magic cure-all. Lin Yan still bears the weight of his family, and Ye Xiaoyu is still under pressure from his mother, but they have each other.
“Stay under a tree long enough, and your clothes will take on the color of moss. Your heart will turn into its fruit.”
