The humidity of the rainy season always lingers in memories, just like the rain-soaked sycamore leaf specimen under the steps of the Municipal Library - when Jiang Nan bent down to pick it up, his fingertips first bumped into another pair of well-jointed hands.
His name is Zhouyi, the Zhouyi of "Book of Changes".
There is a bronze sycamore leaf keychain hanging on her schoolbag, and the gap is exactly the same as the one on her specimen. She said that she lived in a sycamore when she was a child, and she remembers the old sycamore tree in No. 4 Courtyard that required two people to hug each other. When she read "Jiangnan Grass and Trees", her fingertips would tremble slightly when she pointed out the word "Ayi" annotated by children.
The promise he lost when he moved when he was ten years old is like a thread-bound book softened by rain, and his evasive eyes can be seen between the lines. But when two sycamore leaves with the same notch were picked up at the same time in the botanical garden, Jiang Nan suddenly saw clearly——
It turns out that some forgetfulness is fake, and some reunions are long-awaited.
He said "I don't remember", but the sycamore leaf he gave her was carved into eternity on the keychain.
Purpose: To convey the delicate emotions of cherishing the past and looking forward to fate through memories and reunions.
