Introduction to "The Sycamore Leaves Fall Slowly"
The sycamore leaves in September fall very slowly, so slowly that I thought that summer would never end.
In high school, Chu Huinan and Chu Yuning were the "dead enemies" of the class - they were at the same desk but didn't talk to each other, and they lived under the same roof but pretended to be unfamiliar with each other in school. No one knew that there would be an extra piece of handmade bread in her drawer every day. No one knew that when she ran 800 meters, she would quietly accompany her on the inner track to complete the entire race. Those unspeakable feelings are hidden in countless late nights saying "good night" to each other across a wall.
At the end of her senior year, she disappeared. Everyone is talking about a car accident, and everyone is saying "it's a pity". Only Chu Huinan didn't believe it.
Two years later she found her in a bakery in another city. She changed her name to Chu Xinghui - lucky Xinghui, Hui is Chu Huinan's Hui. She said, This is the name I chose for myself because I wanted to be lucky, and... You were the first person who made me feel like I had a family.
They start over. Starting from the small room upstairs in the bakery, starting from the heart-shaped bread every morning and the phrase "Where you are, is my direction." The summer wind was very hot, and the cicadas screamed heartbreakingly. They kissed secretly in the bathroom, fed each other with fruit wine at the class reunion, and in the corner where no one noticed, they returned words that they had not said for three years in high school.
This is a story about "walking slowly". It is not in a hurry, it believes that all separations are for a better reunion, and all the unspeakable love will find a home before the sycamore leaves fall.
