Lin You and Lu Yao used to be neighbors living on the same floor——
She was the little princess that everyone in the compound envied. She wore a bow-knot headband and would plaster competition certificates all over the walls. He was the little tail who always followed her, stuffing secretly saved candies into her schoolbag, and picking up tree branches on the roadside to block her in front of her when she was being chased by a dog.
When he was twelve years old, Lin You's family suddenly moved away without leaving even a farewell. Lu Yao sat at the stairs all night holding the rabbit doll with missing ears that she gave her.
Seven years later, Lu Yao was in the university library and saw a girl sitting in the corner: she was wearing a washed white school uniform jacket, her fingertips were repeatedly rubbing the same word on the page, and she would subconsciously lower her head even when someone passed by.
Until she looked up, Lu Yao saw that the eyes that were once full of starlight were now only a misty gray.
"Lin You,"
His voice trembled,
"I'm Lu Yao, the Lu Yao who lives across from your house."
This is a story about "lost and found", and also a story about a boy who wants to bring back the girl who was blown away by the wind back into the sunshine.
Purpose: Use the bonds of old time to heal the long loneliness that followed.
