Our Midsummer Days

At the freshman welcome party, Lin Xia, the Computer Science School’s student representative, is about to present a bouquet to an upperclassman from her department when she gets nervous, trips on her skirt, and falls in front of the male host, Shen Sheng, a third-year heartthrob from the School of Economics and Management. Everyone thinks she’s about to confess her feelings. Shen Sheng assumes she’s one of his admirers and politely turns her down, forgetting to switch off his microphone. His voice carries across the entire hall, drawing a chorus of boos. Lin Xia thinks Shen Sheng deliberately humiliated her. Furious and mortified, she hurls the bouquet at his face and storms off! The crowd erupts. Someone records the whole scene and posts it online. The video quickly spreads across Weibo and WeChat Moments, eventually making the trending list! Lin Xia becomes an instant “celebrity” at Beiqing University, and unexpectedly catches the attention of Liu Yusen, Shen Sheng’s roommate and best friend. Liu Yusen is fascinated by the “brave” Lin Xia, while Shen Sheng scoffs at her. All he wants is to get through the remaining two years of college without running into that annoying girl again, but fate is quick to give him a rude awakening...
