That summer, the unspeakable "goodbye" became the longest echo in youth.
In the second grade of high school, Lin Zhixia, a quiet and introverted academic, and Jiang Chen, a dazzling mathematics genius, unexpectedly became roommates. From a falling pen to an unspoken appointment in the library, the ambiguous feelings quietly grew during countless days and nights of fighting side by side. However, a long-destined path to study abroad was like the Milky Way between the two of them, and the unspecified heartbeat finally dissipated in the wind of graduation season.
Four years of college, we are far apart. He traveled across the ocean, and she worked hard to grow up. Two parallel lines, running on their own tracks, thought the story had already ended.
Until they met again in the workplace after graduation - he was an elite representative parachuted in from the partner, and she was a dedicated project assistant. The moment their eyes met, the peace accumulated over the years collapsed. He is no longer the proud young man in his memory, calm and sharp, taking every step step by step; she is no longer the timid girl back then, independent and tenacious, with her own light.
Time has stolen away the youth, but made the longing sink deeper and deeper. As the work continued to intersect and the mysteries of the past were revealed layer by layer, they discovered that the grand farewell was not the end of the story.
This is a story about regret and compensation, waiting and worthiness. From school uniforms to wedding dresses, from ignorance to maturity, the first heartbeat in summer finally heard the loudest echo across mountains and seas.
