The story of Lin Xiaoman, a sophomore in high school, and Jiang Yi, who gradually grew closer as classmates after an unexpected encounter in the summer.
During the heavy rain at the beginning of school, Jiang Yi helped Lin Xiaoman, who almost fell, and their fate quietly unfolded during this intersection. They were in the same class and interacted constantly in their daily interactions: Jiang Yi would hand Lin Xiaoman a piece of paper with written ideas when she was stuck on a problem, help her out when she was entangled by other boys, and take the initiative to send notes and give lectures after she was injured; Lin Xiaoman silently paid attention to Jiang Yi - his habit of turning pens, the ginkgo leaves on his collar, his figure when shooting, and his filial piety to his grandmother.
As events such as encouraging each other during the monthly exams and going to Jiang Yi's grandma's house to pick ginkgo fruits together on weekends happened, a young love quietly grew between the two. The story is set in summer and revolves around classrooms, libraries, basketball courts, old yards and other scenes, depicting the innocent and warm emotional interactions of teenagers. The words are full of the throbbing and beauty of youth, as if people can hear their secret thoughts hidden in the chirping of cicadas in summer.
