A half ginkgo leaf is tucked into the pages of a yellowing diary. It comes from the summer they were sixteen, when fate played a gentle joke.
After a mishap caused by a series of misunderstandings, the taciturn Song Kuangchun and the privileged Wei Kaiyu meet in a high school classroom.
Just fourteen days as desk mates lead to ten years of secret love.
Song Kuangchun always builds a wall between herself and the world with her textbooks, hiding the flutter in her heart in the margins of her youth.
She thinks of herself as moss that cannot bear the light, while Wei Kaiyu is a sun shining high above, brilliant yet impossibly far away.
Wei Kaiyu watches his desk mate, hiding at the bottom of a box his sketchbook filled with secret drawings of her profile. He can't understand the distance in Song Kuangchun's eyes, and can only hurriedly look away whenever she happens to glance up.
At seventeen, an acceptance letter from an overseas school crushes the boy's feelings into a flurry of snow as they part.
-
At a class reunion seven years later, a yellowed diary opens, and two letters that were never sent finally meet. It turns out that in all those years apart, they had both lain awake beneath the same moon, nursing the same secret feelings. Their decade-long secret love finally blossoms at the end of time, late but dazzling.
I love you more than all the years that come and go.
One day, we will meet again.
