The rainy season in Tongcheng always brings with it the humidity that cannot be resolved, and the smell of moldy old walls floats in the air. Shen Nianyu's youth was trapped in this small county town - her parents took her younger brother to take root in a distant place. She walked on the way to school in the rain, and wrote "Go to Haicheng" in her booklet with wrong questions. She was as good as a silent weed, but she quietly stood out in a deserted place.
It wasn't until his sophomore year in high school that Xu Zhiyi moved into the alley. This young man from a big city, with lingering gloom and the pain of his parents' death hidden in his eyes, would gently rub her hair and say "don't be afraid" when she was teased by a boy; he would sit with her under the old locust tree in the evening during the rainy season and talk about Disneyland in Haicheng and the scenery she had only seen in textbooks.
The humid summer will pass, and the moldy regrets will be blown away by the wind. Two people walking alone on rainy days will catch each other's light under the old locust trees in Tongcheng.
Purpose: I hope we can all become better versions of ourselves
