At seventeen, Ye Chunxi moved into Qinyuan with her aunt. As she turned into the covered walkway, she stopped for no reason she could explain.
Through the misty spring rain, a young man in white stood among the pavilions by the water, like a graceful landscape painting.
He glanced at her from afar, and her face flushed hot.
Her aunt told her he was the child of Qinyuan's owner, a few months older than her.
Xie Yuqing's handwriting was as clean and lovely as his features, but Ye Chunxi could never quite copy it.
One day, he caught her in the act and asked what she was writing.
Stammering, she said, "I'm trying to copy your handwriting and write your name."
He asked nothing more. He came around behind her, gently took her hand, and guided her in writing her own name.
That was the closest Ye Chunxi ever came to Xie Yuqing throughout her girlhood.

They met again seven years later, after Xie Yuqing was left with disabled legs in a car accident.
By chance, she became his rehabilitation therapist.
Before she could introduce herself, she heard him ask softly, "Ye Chunxi?"
She marveled at his memory.
He looked at her, smiling warmly. "You're just not that easy to forget."
At those words, the feelings Ye Chunxi had harbored as a girl flared back to life.
-
Spring was the season Xie Yuqing hated most.
Until Ye Chunxi came along.
During every painfully damp plum-rain season, her gentle gaze soothed him better than a warm towel.
The ugly scars on his legs, which he was weary of trying to hide, became sturdy new branches in her eyes.
She told him she liked collecting wind chimes. Later, he opened a wind chime workshop for her in her name, and called it "Meeting Spring."
