Seventeen-year-old Jiang Nian met transfer student Zhou Ye during the wet rainy season, and from then on his eyes became those of a cowardly stowaway.
She remembered the coffee stain-like mole on his wrist, the mud spots dancing on his sneakers, and the scent of pine wood mixed with the warmth of the rain when he turned around, but she never dared to look at each other for more than three seconds. The title page of the physics notebook is full of his sketches, the ginkgo tree hole behind the laboratory building is locked to pick up the pen and water bottle he left behind, and the melted mints in the pocket of the school uniform are the only gifts she dares to accept.
When Zhou Ye's eyes began to linger on her, the truth was shattered with a concert ticket sandwiched in the note - he had already agreed to go with the bright and flamboyant Lin Xiaotang. Jiang Nian tore up the ticket in the heavy rain, but she didn't know that it was the confession opportunity prepared by Zhou Ye for her. The letter stuffed into the locker on the eve of the college entrance examination finally dried on the back of the ginkgo leaf together with the tears of girlhood.
Ten years later, the married Jiang Nian returned to school and found a time capsule buried deep in a tree hole. The writing on the yellowed note was stained by the rain, revealing a grand dislocation throughout youth: she thought she was a lone star chasing the moon, but she didn't know that as early as in his galaxy, she was the eternal coordinate of all celestial bodies.
