On Wutong Avenue in the Provincial Experimental Middle School, top student Lin Shuyue and poor student Fu Yanzhi met unexpectedly. One is a sensitive boy who was raised alone by his grandmother, and the other is a rebellious rich second generation who bears the expectations of his family. The two lonely hearts quietly get closer under the pressure of the senior year of high school. Fu Yanzhi's gentle protection allowed Lin Shuyue to step out of the haze of her parents' divorce; and Lin Shuyue's pure warmth also illuminated Fu Yanzhi's world bound by family responsibilities.
However, the Fu family was on the verge of bankruptcy. The marriage with Jiang Wan, a family friend, became the only life-saving straw. In order to protect Lin Shuyue, Fu Yanzhi chose silence and alienation. The sudden betrayal and the shock of her grandmother's death from a serious illness caused the already sensitive Lin Shuyue to suffer from severe depression. He struggled in despair, while Fu Yanzhi suffered from the dilemma between family and love.
When the college entrance examination bell rang and news of the marriage spread throughout the campus, Lin Shuyue's world completely collapsed. With endless regret and pain, he chose to leave forever. After Fu Yanzhi paid off his debts and broke off the engagement, he learned of Lin Shuyue's death, and he spent the rest of his life in endless regret and longing. The sycamore leaves have fallen, the old friend has passed away, and the young and broken love finally left only a heavy sigh.
