The story begins when a six-year-old boy falls for a girl on a rainy night. Her affection is hidden in the scent of gardenias, in one tentative test after another, in one instance of favoritism after another, and in the smile that keeps tugging at the corners of her mouth without her even noticing.
"My little deskmate, I'll only listen to you."
"Shen, you'll always be number one in my heart."
But night gives way to day, the stars gradually dim, and the girl's season of bloom passes. All that awaits her is withering.
The love of youth is innocent and naive, while love in adulthood burns fiercely and runs deep.
The star that had shone throughout his entire youth was one he lost. The moment fireworks blossomed in the snowy sky, Xia Zhi's life was frozen in time forever.
They promised to watch the sunrise together, to wait for the morning glow, and to see countless snowfalls. But in the end, Xia Zhi's life was frozen forever at eighteen. The girl withered and faded at the very age when she should have bloomed without restraint.
