Meeting in the Cicada's Song

Song Qingyuan has always been slow-paced, with gentle, tender features and a clean, soft air about her, like the Yuan River flowing at an unhurried pace. She never rushes anything. On the day she moved with her mother, a little bag slung across her waist, she unexpectedly ran into Pei Yanzhou.

Others always thought Pei Yanzhou was unruly and hard to get along with, but only Song Qingyuan knew that this fiery, energetic boy was willing to slow down for her. He would patiently wait for her to walk at her own pace, and softly wait for her to finish speaking. He saved all his impulsiveness and tenderness for her.

Their hurried encounter during the move was the beginning of their story. From then on, they were together through spring and summer, autumn and winter. The boy, as passionate as the wind, guarded the one gentle softness that was his alone, from their innocent childhood all the way through the long years ahead.
