Qi Xin and Fan Tianning met in middle school, then went their separate ways just three years later.
In their final year, Qi Xin fell for Fan Tianning. Not for any particular reason, just because his sunny warmth was exactly right.
But in the end, they parted like strangers and went to different high schools.
Thirteen years later, they unexpectedly meet again. One is a teacher at a school, the other a student's parent.
It is this reunion that finally helps them understand each other.
A note on the meaning behind the characters' names (ordinary readers needn't pay attention)
Do you know why I chose this name?
Qi Xin: put together, it sounds like your surname.
It really brings to mind that saying,
"Your surname, my name."
There are so many things I don't want to tell you,
so all I can do is write these words,
"I like you."
Those were the words I couldn't bring myself to say back then.
Even though we were separated by only a thin wooden door.
P.S. Most of the protagonists' past experiences are drawn from the author's own life. This led to my emotions seeping into the writing, and even affecting one of the plotlines. I sincerely apologize for that. Some scenes may feel abrupt, but they will be explained to some extent later on. I must also clarify that these experiences belong to the author, but the protagonists are not based on real people. Everything that happens to them later is fictional. For their feelings and some of their inner thoughts and dialogue, I drew on other people's perspectives.
