The Dead Tree Meets the Moon

It's probably a story about bking regretting his youthful arrogance for the rest of his life. "Chen Yuan, you have your pride, and so do I." In 1988, a boy transferred to the junior high school in the small town. Some people say that Chen Yuan came to the countryside to avoid trouble due to family troubles; others say that he had a promiscuous relationship with men and women in his previous school, and that he came to their small mountain village from the city when he couldn't stay any longer. Although the second rumor is outrageous, it seems very reasonable when combined with Chen Yuan's sin-inducing face. Cheng Yuan didn't care at all about this. Her family was poor. Only if she was good enough could she convince her parents to let her continue studying. Apart from studying, she did farm work every day, and she really had no interest in caring about anything else. It wasn't until the first monthly exam at the beginning of the school year that Cheng Yuan's first place was taken away. The first place on the red list is extremely eye-catching, it is Chen Yuan. … Chen Yuan didn't know why, Cheng Yuan always seemed to dislike him, but his eyes couldn't help but fall on her. He came from a brightly lit metropolis, so he looked at this barren mountain village with arrogance. Only Cheng Yuan, that thin girl wearing washed white clothes, walked like a proud and lonely swan with her straight back among the crowd. He saw in her eyes the same pride as his own, but he would not say he liked a girl from a mountain village. Chen Yuan has always thought so. In that era, people expressed their love in a cautious and cryptic way. Even in anonymous love letters, people did not dare to say I love you or I like you. … Cheng Yuan received an anonymous love letter one day. She took it back with her heart pounding, but she never dared to open it. She hid by the firewood pile at the back of the house and threw the love letter into the brazier with trembling hands. Later, Cheng Yuan guessed the owner of the love letter, but still had no idea what the letter was about. Reading guide: 1.
