Shen Liruo and Gu Qidong are just neighbors separated by a wall.
The young man is cold-tempered and taciturn, and is used to hiding all his discomforts. He never mentioned the frequent severe headaches to anyone. He always looks calm, self-possessed and impeccable in front of others.
Only Shen Liruo, who lived next door, secretly glimpsed the embarrassment beneath his disguise.
On nights when school was over in heavy rain, she followed him from a distance, watching him walk home with all his strength; in the dead of night, she heard his suppressed breathing through the wall.
She didn't dare to express concern directly, so she could only take advantage of the darkness of night to quietly put down ginger tea and warm patches at the door of his house, and secretly placed a candy on the corner of the desk.
All her worries were hidden in the dark, and she didn't even dare to say a word of love.
When she finally recognized the belated heartbeat in her heart, a cruel diagnosis suddenly came to her.
The headaches that tormented him repeatedly were a serious illness that could not be cured, and the time left for them was already running out.
The two people clearly miss each other, but they can only try to control their feelings.
There was no time to love each other, no time to rush to the future, and death lay between them, a gap that could not be crossed.
All the tenderness in the world could not keep him.
Later, the river was long and the autumn wind was strong. She held his ashes and walked to a distance they could never reach.
Concept: A young man struggles to move forward under the pressure of illness and senior year of high school. The two people feel sorry for each other and protect each other despite the short distance. Even if fate is full of shortcomings, we still fight against suffering with gentleness and accept the imperfections of life.
