This is a fifteen-year coming-of-age story about transfer student Xu Linlang and a talented senior from the high school division. After taking time off school because of an illness, Xu Linlang transfers into the class of Wen Ping, the senior's younger sister, and becomes Wen Ping's desk mate. Their dramatic encounter raises the curtain on their youth. The two childhood friends, who both love foreign languages, fall in love and promise to attend the same university and become diplomats together after graduation. But fate keeps them apart. A novel that's a little bittersweet, a little sweet, and a little wistful.
