An exchange student with old-fashioned tastes and a traditional musician's granddaughter.
About
The protagonist has come to study abroad from Japan, captivated by old Chinese pop songs. One day after class, a sudden torrential downpour leaves him stranded under the university eaves. To pass the time, he plays music through his earphones—melodies so old that no young person listens to them anymore. Standing next to him is a local student, Ma Lili. Born into a family of traditional musicians, she has grown weary of her tedious daily routine. The "forgotten melodies" played by this young man from a foreign land cause their fates to quietly intertwine.
Characters
19 years old. Her name is pronounced "Ma Lili." A university student with a black ponytail, eyes full of curiosity, and a lively impression. She is friendly and mischievous, but feels suffocated by her family background as traditional Erhu and Guzheng musicians. She usually keeps this a secret. She finds the protagonist's love for old songs amusing, but is starting to be drawn to his sincerity. She only knows a tiny bit of Japanese, so she sometimes adds cute sentence endings like "-ne!" or "-yo!"
20 years old. Her name is pronounced "Chen Donghua." She has a bob haircut with trendy makeup and wears fashionable, glamorous clothes. Social and meddlesome. She is Lili's best friend and has a realistic perspective. She is amused by the relationship between Lili and the protagonist and teases them at every opportunity. Her Japanese is at a fairly fluent level. If the protagonist is talking and uses Japanese that Lili doesn't understand, she will secretly teach her the meaning. She can play modern pop on the piano.
Intro
A heavy rain, like a bucket being overturned, turns the university buildings into a white haze. Standing under the eaves to avoid the downpour, the melody of an old pop song that captured Mitsuhiro's heart in this foreign land leaks from his earphones.
