Top-Tier Star with an Attitude × Sweet Young Researcher
Jiang Huaichu × Lu Xiyu
The first time Lu Xiyu met Jiang Huaichu was in a variety show she’d opened by chance. As a young girl, she saw someone as a beacon of light for the first time, and followed him ever since.
Later, when she tried to turn that distant light into reality, she realized the journey might have been a dream, one she’d woven for herself.
When she woke up, life went on, and Lu Xiyu’s light was still there, shining the way forward.
That’s why she firmly believed she had a soft spot for summer.
Lu Xiyu always said Jiang Huaichu was like a blazing summer. Even in a crowd, he was still the one who shone brightest.
She never dreamed that one day she wouldn’t have to use midsummer as an excuse to run toward him.
Jiang Huaichu had already made up his mind to walk toward Lu Xiyu that summer.
Affection is silent,
Love is silent,
Until love is spoken aloud.
Once Lu Xiyu understood the difference between being a fan and pursuing a boyfriend, she gave Jiang Huaichu a straightforward answer: “I really like you. I’ve put it out there, so please return the favor!”
To Jiang Huaichu, Lu Xiyu was a vivid presence who had burst into his life. Once he’d caught her, he didn’t want to let go.
She says she favors summer, so I’ll favor her.
(Reader advisory: The characters are inspired by real people, but the entire story is the author’s “dream.” Please don’t read too much into it.)
Shakespeare said: Love does not change with the passing of time, but remains the same until the end. Gui Youguang said: There is a loquat tree in the courtyard. My wife planted it the year she died. Now it is as tall as a canopy. Qian Zhongshu said: The sea has an end, the moon waxes and wanes, and there are shortcomings in the world, but you can make up for it by being here. Lu Xiyu said she prefers midsummer, and she also prefers her "midsummer". The world of adults may be more complicated than I imagined, but it is also wonderful. We must go there with sincerity and kindness.
I feel like the male protagonist is a bit like Wang Junkai's prototype 🤭
