The evening breeze along Wutong Road witnessed Wen Zhixia’s greatest love.
Notes slipped through the gaps in their desks, warm milk shared during evening study, and a confession beneath the night sky on the rooftop: seventeen-year-old Lu Yu was her whole world.
As the college entrance exam approached, the boy suddenly grew cold. He became distant and silent, deliberately pushing her away, while rumors and misunderstandings swept in.
She thought he had grown tired of her and was leaving, so she ended their summer romance with her own hands.
Years later, the truth came crashing down, layer by layer. Only then did she learn that his coldness had been a clumsy attempt to protect her as he shouldered hardship alone.
But it was too late.
The late-summer wind died down, and her boy remained forever seventeen.
There would be no reunion, no next life, only a regret that would never fade for the rest of her days.
