When Lin Xiao'an was seventeen, he confessed to Ye Zhaoxi and dreamed aloud with her of a wonderful future for the two of them.
When he was twenty-seven, Lin Xiao'an felt he'd lived long enough and died by suicide after suffering from severe depression.
That same year, twenty-seven-year-old Ye Zhaoxi returned to that summer when she was seventeen after a car accident.
She saw that delicate, somewhat depressed boy next door again, and remembered how everyone had shunned him after rumors spread that he was "pretending to have depression."
That included her, the girl he'd quietly loved, the very girl he kept thinking of fighting his way out to see whenever his depression flared up.
Only when his severe depression took hold did she suddenly realize that his life had seemed dark and bitter from beginning to end.
Perhaps his love for her had been the only little bit of warmth Lin Xiao'an ever had.
But she, still immature back then, had kept her distance and snuffed out the last of his warmth.
So this time, she wants to add a little sweetness to the life of a boy who has known nothing but hardship.
