That early autumn, when the wind chime rang, Shen Xingci remembered Lin Wanqing for three years.
She left in a hurry, without even saying goodbye.
When school started in his first year of high school, she returned with that wind chime.
She said she would probably only be able to stay for a year or two this time.
He didn't ask when she would leave. He simply started counting down in his heart.
-
A year or two would be enough time for him to get to know her again, and enough time for her to say what she wanted before she left once more.
This time, he didn't want to be left with regrets.
Theme: Centered on the mutual crushes and unfinished business between two teenagers, the wind chime serves as a vessel for their feelings as the story explores waiting, reunion, and finding their way to each other. It conveys the gentle message of cherishing the present and being brave enough to speak up, using the delicate details of everyday life to heal the lingering regrets of youth.
