A new clerk started working at the convenience store Chen Wanjiang often visited.
Big eyes, a pointed chin, a tiny face, and dimples that always appeared at the corners of her mouth.
She smiled and said, "Welcome."
Like a sunflower thriving in the sunlight.
On a rainy day, a man named Chen Wanjiang entered Shi Ying's life.
He was travel-worn, yet refined and polite.
Like the river near her home, the Wanjiang, he drew Shi Ying in and made her want to leap right in.
Later, beneath the only wish in the little notebook Shi Ying called "Countdown,"
faint pencil writing appeared.
Shi Ying, become the wind.
The wind that stirs the Wanjiang into ripples.
