The novel uses Chen Yuzi's first-person perspective, telling the story of her youth growing up with Lin Chuyi, who has a rough life experience and has been bullied at school all year round.
When they first met, Chen Yuzi could not bear to see Zhang Ruolanxi, Zhou Wen and others ridiculing and ostracizing Lin Chuyi, so he took the initiative to protect her, opened windows, tied her hair, repaired her coat, and silently gave her books and food, becoming Lin Chuyi's only support. The two got acquainted with Lou Lan and Li Younian because of their writing, but they encountered rumors, bounties, malicious teasing, and malicious pushing. Loulan passed away due to the rumors, and Lin Chuyi also suffered a leg injury due to bullying and suffered from severe depression.
Amid rumors, the two were estranged several times and even broke off their relationship. Cheng Han's paranoia and entanglement, as well as the domestic violence and control of Lin Chuyi's sister's family, constantly tore their relationship apart. Chen Yuzi never gave up, accompanying her through illness and troughs. She gave up her ambition to go to a prestigious school and went to the same school with her, and went to Shanghai, the beach, and Disney together, exchanging tender thoughts under the cherry blossoms and ginkgo rain.
The twists and turns occurred again after adulthood. Lin Chuyi was deceived by brother Cheng Han, and the two temporarily lost contact. A handwritten letter solved all misunderstandings. In the end, the two let go of their past pain and agreed to pursue their dreams and always support each other. The book uses cherry blossoms, ginkgo biloba, evening breeze, and sea of stars as images to describe the pure two-way bond between teenagers and the everlasting and redemptive friendship amidst bullying and the trauma of the original family.
Purpose: 1. Confront campus bullying and the trauma of the original family, highlighting the redemptive power of gentle companionship; 2.
