South Wind Knows My Mood

Some say life is an endless series of farewells to the past, but for Xiao Xubai, every encounter is a reunion after long separation. Nineteen-year-old Gu Nanfeng is strong, optimistic, and independent, yet carries traces of insecurity, treading alone through campus with a secret she dares not reveal. If Xiao Xubai is her eternal darkness, then Song Zhixia is the spark that lights up her entire night sky. "Zhixia, can you please not leave?" Her palms wrapped in thick layers of gauze, blood seeping out bit by bit as she clenched the cup tightly. "Nanfeng, we will always be the best of friends." Seasons turn, day shifts into night—eventually, darkness always gives way to dawn. In the push and pull with Xiao Xubai, the back-and-forth, the tactical exchanges, the ice in her heart slowly begins to melt. They met in the summer of 2005 and parted after the last snowfall of 2009. At twenty-six, Gu Nanfeng has a boyfriend of over a year—gentle, composed, detached, a man adrift in the gray zones of normalcy. At thirty, Xiao Xubai sinks deeper into the abyss of losing her. If fate granted them another chance? When the southern wind passes, all I want is to keep you. In short, this is a bittersweet chronicle of a fling turned real love—pollute first, fix later. The female lead is far from normal; proceed with caution.
