Features: "Story of the Checkered Fabric" – A series of pure beauty campus novel picture books specially designed for girls in their prime. Made of pure cotton, it was cut in a checkered pattern by a caring older sister who was once a girl herself. Soft, charming, close, and homely, it collects your moods and places them in this or that square. "Checkered Fabric" dreams for you as you walk, and stores dreams for you as you have walked. The annual "Checkered Fabric" will meet with you regularly! I, who always appeared as a "tomboy," agreed to pretend to be the girlfriend of my friend Lu Jun to help him with his family troubles. For this, I wore a skirt for the first time in my life. But the "performance" was not successful; no one believed or cared, and our relationship changed as a result. I don’t know how to describe that change, but we both remember—under the quiet alleyway, the faint sunset filtered through the dense shade of poplar trees, sprinkling drop by drop onto him. When it was time to break up, he looked up and slowly asked me a question: "What do you think youth tastes like?" I thought for a moment and smiled, answering—"Blue."
