Features: Humans are strange creatures—why meet in a second but wait for a million times that, and even forget it a thousand times more? Why meet inexplicably? Why willingly wait? Why grieve to forget? Can the answer be "I don't know"? And I don't know if this "not knowing" is pointless or pure. Not asking why is the same as not asking. Not answering why is the same as not answering. That's youth—without clear questions, no absolute answers, yet still strange, wondering why there must be a youth. The novel tells a shy and romantic love story in a light-hearted comedy style. A phone call from her friend, Mosquito, stirs Hong Ling's long-suppressed memories—the love she calls "Thirteen Months." The boy she liked in her naive youth, Zhang Yang, has news, so her unrequited love resumes after a break. Meanwhile, in reality, another boy, Baozi, has fallen for her. Hong Ling struggles between reality and fantasy. Coincidentally, as news of her long-lost love resurfaces after two years, a boy with a similar experience appears in her online world, and they become confidants sharing the story of their "Thirteen Months" love.
