Islands and Echoes

Jiangyu River is a silent island, and Lin Yuwei is the only one who can hear his echo. At the age of seventeen, they met in a high school classroom. He was taciturn, she was quiet and gentle. An injured stray cat made them discover each other's secret--their schoolbags both contained five-yuan bags of cat food. An unsigned letter of thanks and a bent paper clip are the most secret heartbeats of youth. They communicated in silence, exchanging each other's deepest tenderness in a corner that no one knew about. On the day of graduation, he handed him an umbrella to protect himself from the rain and walked into the pouring rain. That was the last time they saw each other when they were seventeen. At the age of twenty-seven, they met again at the opposite ends of life and death. He became a pet doctor who fought against death, and she became a pet mortician who protected the dignity of lost lives. They are peers, and they are the only answer in each other's lives. "Lin Yuwei, thank you for seeing me." "You're welcome." This is the deep love written by two silent people in ten years. Really deep love never needs to make noise. It is an isolated island waiting for an echo, a tired bird returning to the forest, and finally being seen by you after a long period of time.
