In the second story, a married convenience store owner named Hui is confronted by his vengeful first love, Ling, who he had rejected years ago.

As the two stories unfold, Kot weaves together themes of unrequited love, forgiveness, and redemption. Through the experiences of Mei, Chen, Hui, and Ling, "First Love: The Litter on the Breeze" explores the complexities of first love and the lasting impact it can have on our lives.
