Ginkgo Bookmark Promise

Some secret love is a ten-year rainy season. In the autumn of his sophomore year in high school, Zhou Xubai broke into Lin Gardenia's world with a sense of rain and became her new deskmate. He is a boy who is truly sunny, with eyes like amber candy; she is a girl who is warm on the surface but has low self-esteem, hiding all her worries in the anonymous blog "August is Young". They collected autumn ginkgo leaves together and drew each other's profile on the corner of their math draft paper, thinking that their youth was long enough to slowly say all they like. But on the snowy night when the confession was most needed, due to a family accident and an undelivered note, the story took a completely different direction. "If the rain had stopped earlier, if the note had not been blown away by the wind, if we had all been a little braver -" In ten years, she learned to be independent in Shanghai, and he became a cutting-edge architect in his hometown. Those unspoken likes are written into unknown chapters of blogs, painted into the light and shadow of architectural design, and pressed into yellow ginkgo leaves in bookmarks. Until at an architecture summit, he walked through the crowd and walked towards her: "Classmate Lin Gardenia, I have been reading 'August is Young' for ten years." "Now, can we continue our story in person?" This is a story about secret love, miss and reunion. It was the heartbeat of the sixteen-year-old, and I finally heard the echo at the age of twenty-six. All regrets have time to be gently healed in the depths of time.
