During the height of summer in his second year of high school, Li Linsi gave all his tenderness to Qin He alone. Milk, a parasol, patient understanding: the young man's affection filled the girl's entire youth.
A misunderstanding in the stairwell during their final year of high school made stubborn Qin He refuse to hear a single explanation. She decisively ended things, and with a heart full of hatred, cut all ties with him.
Then disaster struck, and Qin He lost both her parents overnight, enduring the coldest winter of her life all alone. By chance, she learned the full truth about what had happened back then and realized she'd hated the wrong person, personally pushing away the only boy in the world who had ever cherished her.
For the next year, she crossed the distance to pursue him alone, setting aside all her pride to humbly atone, only to be met time and again with deliberate coldness and distance.
Everyone else said she wouldn't leave him alone, but only Li Linsi knew that he had never stopped loving her for a moment. The words "I hate you" had become a scar carved into his heart. He loved her deeply, but feared being abandoned again, and could only hide his feelings behind a facade.
In despair, Qin He walked toward the river. Just as she reached the brink, Li Linsi came running, tearing away four years of carefully maintained pretense. His long-overdue confession and embrace eased all their pain and heartache.
All the regrets of the past were finally put behind them. After surviving death and misunderstanding, the two broken souls healed one another. The evening breeze knew the depth of their love, and from then on they stayed by each other's sides for the rest of their lives.
Theme: A youthful misunderstanding led to regret, but love and guilt helped them pull each other through despair. Wounds will heal, and sincere, mutual devotion can redeem a broken life.
