Synopsis
Su Yan peacefully divorced Shen Yu, who had been busy with her career and neglected emotional companionship. After the divorce, she unexpectedly became pregnant with a child. Due to her pride, she did not want to tie her ex-husband down with the child, so she decided to raise the child on her own. In midsummer, she went to the small town for a vacation to relax. It happened that her cousin had finished the college entrance examination, so she brought her high school classmate Lu Yu to get together. The two met in an extracurricular art class when they were young. Su Yan, who was working as a teaching assistant at that time, was focused on further studies, but he did not realize that the young Lu Yu had a hidden and ignorant crush. After Su Yan gave up class in the senior year of high school, the two did not leave their contact information, and they were separated for more than ten years. After the reunion, Lu Yu's worries that had accumulated for many years turned into passionate love and he took the initiative to pursue her. Su Yan, who was burdened with scars from the past and pregnancy, was full of worries and frequently avoided the situation. During the most difficult years of her pregnancy, Lu Yu never left her. For four years, she accompanied her during prenatal checkups and took care of her eldest son's daily life. The two fell in love and gave birth to their youngest daughter. On the day after picking up his eldest son from school, Shen Yu, who had disappeared for four years, unexpectedly appeared. After seeing the child's appearance, he felt regretful and started chasing his wife to make amends with resources and companionship, forming a gentle and restrained adult emotional game.

The long path of sycamore trees in late autumn, mother and son walked forward slowly, Lu Yu looked at his wife and daughter tenderly, Shen Yu looked at her smile and turned to look at the autumn leaves on the tree, feeling regret for the rest of his life.
