On New Year's Eve, when thousands of houses were brightly lit, only the dark window lattice remained in his old residence. Zhou Xiao disappeared for eight years and there was no news at all. Chen Heng returned to Yingchuan with a heart-wrenching longing, but was unexpectedly assigned to be the editor of Lin Zhou, a mysterious and popular writer.
The reunion comes in the most unexpected way: there is a code word that only they understand in the manuscript of the up-and-coming writer Lin Zhou. The sunken mung beans in the mung bean smoothie, the school uniform jacket on the head on a rainy night, and even the angle at which the fireflies are placed are all accurately reproduced with details buried by time. Chen Heng stood in front of "Lin Zhou", but what he saw was Zhou Xiao's slender shadow, flickering in and out of eight years of fog.
He thought it was the prelude to a reunion, but he saw another man calling him "Axiao" familiarly, with the same firefly silver chain dangling on his wrist. Zhou Xiao's dodge was like the heavy rain that year, soaking the unspoken words. Those scabbed wounds, the rewritten names, and the half biscuit shared in the boiler room eventually became a river between the two of them.
When Chen Heng knocked on the door again, with the mist of the hot spring and the courage to reunite, he knew that to find Zhou Xiao, he not only had to go through eight years of blankness, but also face the shadows that light dared not touch. And this time, is the light in Zhou Xiao's eyes still shining for him?
Intention: Those cares hidden in the cracks of life have long entangled the roots of two people. One day, the wind will blow away the fog and let them come together again.
