Radiant as the Moonlit Trees

[Secret Crush Becomes Mutual] [Reunion After Years Apart] [School Days First, City Life Later] [Happy Ending]

(A girl who pays for the one who makes her heart flutter)

The story began in a sweltering summer.

Fifteen-year-old Shi Yuan met a boy.

He was a bright and spirited young man who always wore his school uniform neatly and handsomely. Above all, his gentle, clear eyes became the image she would think of endlessly and turn over in her mind for years to come.

Back then, like countless other girls with dreams in their hearts, she secretly watched that dazzling moonlight.

Her draft paper was filled with her innermost girlish thoughts. She pretended not to care while greedily gathering every scrap of news about him...

Later, she went to the university he attended, but searched the entire campus and still couldn't find him.

Only then did she understand that it seemed countless two-year gaps always stood between them.

On the day she left school, Shen Qingyue received a bouquet of flowers, at once passionate and serene, along with a postcard.

"I'm giving you hydrangeas, flowers that bloom through an endless summer.

Even if we part for a little while, we will meet again someday.

Shen Qingyue, I look forward to our next summer.

If we meet again then, could you let me get to know you properly?"

But no one knows whether tomorrow or the unexpected will come first.

Perhaps it was then that the girl with the radiant smile decided to take a leap of faith, no matter the cost.

Summer comes around again and again. Those destined to meet will always find each other.

The stars always follow the moon, just as I will always make my way to you.
