Synopsis:
On a September campus, a chance meeting marks the beginning of a story, though the future has already been written.
On the first day of college, introverted and sensitive Jiang Xiaoning and bright, cheerful Shen Xin'er, inseparable best friends, step onto campus. The ripples of fate begin to spread quietly.
At 180 centimeters tall, Duanmu Lei bursts into view like a blaze of light. A taekwondo star and the darling of every social gathering, the passionate Sagittarius falls for Jiang Xiaoning at first sight. His awkward but persistent attempts to get close throw the socially anxious girl, who is used to shrinking into a corner, into complete disarray: the humiliating food-splashing incident in the cafeteria, the spectacular glasses mishap in the library, and an unexpected embrace on a stormy night... His presence is impossible to ignore.
At 180 centimeters tall, Qiao Zhiheng is like a still lake in late autumn. Gentle, refined, and courteous, this restrained Capricorn draws countless admiring glances. Yet the way he looks at Shen Xin'er always carries a searching quality that seems to reach across time. A faded blue dolphin pendant is like a lost key: it links them to that rainy night deep in the rainforest when they held hands, and touches the secret “forbidden ground” beneath the cheerful girl’s smiling mask. Is he the neighbor boy who protected her in childhood, or a stranger harboring secrets? Beneath the ripples of their reunion lie hidden feelings and unanswered questions.
Four years of college pass beneath clear skies and sudden storms.
Can Jiang Xiaoning’s social anxiety withstand Duanmu Lei’s direct advances, even when he’s drenched and bedraggled but still coated in sweetness? Will her stubborn defenses crumble amid one hilarious, absurd “adventure” after another?
