Hearing the Autumn Light

★ Mutual healing, reunion after years apart, healing, sweet romance ★ The story of two people who have both hit rock bottom, meeting in the darkness and searching their way toward the future and their dreams. Qiao You first heard "Autumn Light" in a restaurant one afternoon. Its warm, beautiful melody reminded her of the ginkgo grove that autumn, and of the man who had handed her a mint. A mask and sunglasses hid the man's face, so she couldn't make out his expression. But she remembered the taste of that mint for a long time. The next time she heard that familiar melody was on a quiet summer night. In the air, fragrant with roses, the piano music and her neighbor's husky, magnetic voice drifted across the night sky and through the courtyard between their buildings, reaching straight into her fluttering heart. Later, without a word, the man shouldered his camera gear and accompanied her into a high-altitude nature reserve. After they rescued a white-lipped deer in an accident, the man stood beside her, quietly watching the deer they had saved disappear into the distance. The wind on the plateau was fierce, roaring past the herd and sweeping over the snowy peaks. The man looked at her. His handsome, serene face was framed by deep eyes reflecting the snowy mountains, the shape of the light, and her figure. Suddenly, he lowered his head and leaned in to kiss her. Much later, tiny grains of snow tapped against the glass window in the night. She opened the window. The man stood beside the black piano in the courtyard. Amid the white snowflakes falling from the sky, faint glimmers of light brightened the man's clear eyes, smiling at her. Everything was quiet. It seemed the only sound was the faint patter of snowflakes landing on the piano. That faint sound drowned out her heartbeat and the chilly wind of the snowy night. She heard herself say: "Um, could I request a song?" Heroine: Wildlife photographer Hero: Music producer ★ This novel has been revised, so it's a little different from some other versions.

One was too quiet, while the other was too restless to sit still... Until many years later, when they sat side by side on a rooftop terrace, gazing at the starry sky. Yu Jia brought up her peculiar theory. Gu Baishu turned to look at her. After a long pause, he said, "I used to think so too." Curious, Yu Jia pressed him: "And now?" Gu Baishu smiled, leaned in, and kissed Yu Jia on the lips. "Now I'm especially grateful for your restless streak. It's what let me meet you again." ★ Reunited after years apart, with mutual secret crushes. Theme: If you have a dream, go chase it~
