On the first day of term at Southern Coastal University, Lin Wanxing, a sweet, shy, socially anxious top student from the School of Fine Arts, knocks over the laptop of Gu Jiaoyang, the Computer Science School’s “coding genius.” The screen shatters, but his unbacked-up competition code is miraculously saved, and their story of being “bound together” begins.
She uses the money from her freelance work to pay for the laptop, while he uses his programming know-how to help her catch up in advanced math. She secretly sketches his profile on scrap paper; he covers her easel with “You can do it!” notes. She cheers him on at the basketball court with a hand-painted sign, and he stays up late using code to bring her illustrations to life. From an unexpected rescue during club recruitment to holding hands in a blackout at the library; from a brave confession at her birthday art show to a promise made by drone at sunset on the beach; from fighting side by side in campus competitions to compromising over a long-distance relationship after graduation, and then supporting each other at work...
This is a sweet story of youth belonging to Lin Wanxing and Gu Jiaoyang. With his tenderness, she, a socially anxious girl, slowly finds the courage to step into the sunlight. In her paintings, he, so cool and aloof, finds a life filled with warmth. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings, only heart-fluttering moments in the little details; no earth-shattering twists, just two people choosing each other for the rest of their lives.
From strawberry ice cream in midsummer to a star-trail diamond ring by the sea; from school uniforms to wedding gowns, from just the two of them to a family of three. It turns out the best kind of youth is when the evening breeze meets the blazing sun, when I walk toward you, and every season is filled with romance.
