Wu Ning's eighteenth year is quiet and dull, like the cicadas' summer chorus: noisy, yet so familiar that no one pays it much attention.
But she loves someone.
His name is Chi Chengqing. He is the son of the family that adopted her, and she calls him her older brother.
The young man is bright and composed, disciplined and courteous, praised by everyone. She is worlds apart from him.
Her secret crush on him is something no one can know.
Until that night.
Wu Ning comes home to find Chi Chengqing in her room, holding the forbidden diary.
Her face turns pale. She stands there, barely able to breathe.
Chi Chengqing closes the diary and asks in an even voice, “You like me?”
Wu Ning clenches her hands and shakes her head. “No, I... I don't like you.”
.
Chi Chengqing harbors a secret desire.
The first day he met Wu Ning, he was like a madman, coveting her from the shadows.
Years later, they meet again.
Chi Chengqing asks Wu Ning, “Would you be willing to come back?”
Wu Ning smiles. “Would you want me to?”
