The Late South Wind Knows My Heart

share time: 2025-11-30 06:00:57

Restorer Su Wanyi waits at an old bookstall in the alley every year when the south wind blows, holding out for Gu Zhaonan, her high school deskmate. Seven years ago, he said he'd go to the desert for archaeology and return when the south wind blew through the alley for the third time—but he vanished without a trace. This year, a man with silver-rimmed glasses appears, carrying the celadon brush washer she gave Gu back then, claiming to be his colleague. Yet he unconsciously mimics Gu's habits: folding candy wrappers into stars, wearing the wool gloves she knitted while restoring relics. When the south wind rages one night, the man breaks down and confesses—he is Gu Zhaonan. He lost his memory in an accident years ago, and only recently found her love letter saying “I’ll wait” at the excavation site, piecing together his past. He feared she'd blame him for being late, but she'd already recognized him from the little things, just waiting for him to dare speak up.
