Seventeen-year-old Chu Miao wanted nothing more than to run away.
At twenty-seven, Chu Miao finally realized he couldn't escape, and didn't need to.
Like a migratory bird, he had to break free of the mountains, but when the leaves fell, he would have to return.
After all, the city of Nanzhong buried his youthful love and betrayal, along with Zou Ma Mountain, the place he had never truly escaped.
Ten years had passed.
Time slipped by quietly, concealing every love and grievance. Only the dampness of the rainy season brought back an old, dull ache and the comfort of someone long gone.
Chu Miao walked through the rain as if he were back in the cold, damp, bitter, monotonous embrace of someone. Soaked through and shivering, he still couldn't bring himself to open his umbrella.
When he saw Chen Yungui again, his steps slowed without him realizing it.
He just didn't want to admit that his dead heart had quietly come back to life.
Bottom POV, bittersweet, broken lovers reunite
