When Ji Yun was fifteen, she met a man.
She still remembered that day: rain poured down as the man painted in the cemetery.
As if possessed, she walked over and held an umbrella over him.
He said his name was Xie Zhinan.
The young girl's heart raced uncontrollably.
Later, she saw him with her own eyes, using a blade to cut himself until he was covered in blood.
He stared at her, his gaze deep and fierce.
Terrified, the young girl stumbled backward and fled in a panic.
She wouldn't see him again for the next five years.
Later still, Ji Yun ran into him again.
He was her university professor.
"Ji Yun...?" Xie Zhinan read from the class list.
"Here!" She came back to herself.
"Long time no see." He curled his lips into a faint smile.
The quiet flutter of her youthful heart was kindled once more.
What she hadn't expected was that Xie Zhinan would die in the winter of his thirty-first year.

3. A story about two ordinary people.
++ An ascetic, emotionally distant university art professor and a cool, gifted comic artist.
