Huiwen lives in the south and Rongmu lives in the north. The two buildings are seven meters apart and the windows face each other. When Hui Wen woke her husband up in the morning, he could see Rong Mu's desk through the window, where he always sat and wrote.
One day he placed a pot of hibiscus flowers on the table. The flowers bloomed in the morning and fell in the evening. Hui Wen leaned against the window and watched the flowers fall. Rongmu looked out the window. The window opposite was covered with a gauze curtain, and a woman's shadow was reflected on it. Later, both of them discovered that their relationship was just an untouchable shadow, at most a short-lived flower.
