In the summer when she was eighteen years old, cicadas were chirping noisily. Wu Youyou took the trauma of failing the college entrance examination and entered the repeat class of Xingyu Middle School. From then on, she fell into a boring, depressing and confusing time of repeating. She is sensitive and has low self-esteem. She grew up in a estranged single-parent family. Her mother died young and her father was away on transportation all year round. Only her grandmother, who suffered from emphysema, kept her warm throughout her gloomy youth with bowls of soft and glutinous longan porridge.
On the way to re-study, she met Bai Xuheng, who was cold and distant. The two lonely souls were attracted to each other in a high-pressure atmosphere. She carefully cherished the humble joy, thinking that she had found the glimmer of light in the darkness, and tried her best to get closer, but she didn't know that this heartbeat was a carefully planned use from beginning to end. She also lost her most precious friendship, and a dispute broke out with Ruping, who had been with her since childhood, because of this misplaced love. The two people who were inseparable in the past gradually became estranged.
From the confusion and humility in the repeat class to the determination and calmness after coming out of trauma, in eighteen years, Wu Youyou took her grandmother's expectations, Ruping's redemption, and her own redemption to break free from the shackles of the past, learn to love herself and protect those around her, and transformed from a sensitive and fragile girl into an independent and tough person. This youthful memory, which contains pain and warmth, betrayal and redemption, not only engraves her growth trajectory, but also contains the confusion, struggle and courage that everyone has in their youth.
