Hu Yu, a genius painter who was falsely accused.
In June, the bellflowers bloom.
"Do you know what bellflowers mean?"
Hu Yu lay on the grass outside Tong University Library, a foxtail grass stem in her mouth. Her eyes were half closed, and she looked utterly carefree.
"Eternal love," Dong Wenjie said firmly.
Hu Yu shook her head, her laughter clear and bright.
"No, it's 'no regrets.'"
At that moment, the scent of bellflowers overwhelmed Dong Wenjie's senses.

She likes bellflowers. I like her.

I was dazed. So this is what it feels like to fall in love with someone, to be sad and happy at the same time.

Hu Yu, you said bellflowers sleep forever, but love never does. I still don't believe you.
From Dong's diary
The year Dong Wenjie moved to Nanjiao Village,
he was 32,
and he kept watch over everything Hu Yu had left behind,
year after year in Nanjiao Village.
