That summer when she was nineteen, Chu Ming, whose health was poor, was sent by her family to a mountain resort to recuperate.
She thought the whole vacation would be dull and boring, but then she met a young woman who gathered medicinal herbs.
The girl was healthy and cheerful, with eyes as bright as stars. When she smiled, she looked like a sweet apple.
She was a farmer's daughter from the foot of the mountain, and every other day she brought meat, fish, and fresh produce up to the resort.
One day, the girl didn't show up at the usual time.
Unable to stop herself, Chu Ming went down the mountain, but she had an attack and fainted along the way.
Though Qiao Xiamiao was small and thin, she had boundless strength. She managed to carry the beautiful older woman from the city all the way back to her home, safe and sound.
Chu Ming watched her wipe away her sweat. Smiling with her white teeth on display, the girl asked, "Big Sister, would you like some water? Our well water is really sweet~"
"...Sure."
That summer, Chu Ming wiped the sweat from her fever-hot skin, tasted her soft, red lips, and held the nape of her slender neck. She heard her clear voice turn shy. Watching her lean, firm waist tremble uncontrollably, Chu Ming took pleasure in indulging herself, tasting every forbidden thing.
Until the start of the school year drew near and her family came to take her home.
As Chu Ming rode down the mountain, she saw Qiao Xiamiao sitting on a produce truck.
The truck was piled high with chickens, ducks, fish, meat, and fresh fruits and vegetables.
Only she wore a little straw hat and carefully held a lotus leaf, filled to the brim with red berries.
Chu Ming didn't call out to her.
Their vehicles passed each other briefly on the road, then gradually drew apart.
Like two lines that diverge after meeting at a point.
Chu Ming thought the one and only time she had let herself go in her life was over. She never expected fate to grant her another reunion five years later.
Theme: Love life and fight for what you want.
