Utopian Small-Town Fiction / Healing and Redemption
Outdoor Photographer × Blue Sky Rescue Team Captain
Four years ago, after taking the college entrance exam, Nai Ying came to Huaxi Town to escape the summer heat.
One day, her mother brought home a blind boy who had lost his memory from a persistent high fever. He had forgotten his name and had nowhere to go.
Nai Ying named him Zhou Yi, and he moved into the guest room at her house.
The boy was quiet and withdrawn, but to Nai Ying, he was a new playmate to tease for fun. A few words from her were all it took to make his face turn scarlet.
Beneath the green wooden windowsill, he would also press his lips to hers, leaving her unable to speak as her heart pounded wildly.
Behind her mother's back, they began a secret and thrilling game of romance.
Two months later, the boy went out one day and never came back.
Just as university was about to start, Nai Ying and her mother left the town. That carefree, happy time faded away, growing hazy with the years.

While photographing wildlife on a mountain one day, a sudden downpour triggered a landslide. Her team was trapped, so they called emergency services.
After a day and a night of searching, rescuers finally found Nai Ying, buried beneath the collapsed earth.
As strong arms lifted her, Nai Ying struggled to open her eyes and saw a face that was both familiar and strange.
In the thirty-second hour of struggling on the border between life and death,
her Zhou Yi came to save her.
His eyes had been healed.
But he didn't recognize her anymore.
*May I become your eyes.
