Encounter on Sakura Avenue

At Xinghua University in September, the wind on Cherry Blossom Avenue still carries the residual warmth of late summer. Lin Wan, majoring in Chinese language and literature, was standing on an unfamiliar campus dragging her suitcase. The moment the suitcase wheels got stuck in the steps, she met Gu Yan, who was wearing an orange volunteer vest—the boy from the computer department who would later accompany her through her four years of youth.
