Cicadas Sing in Summer, and He Wears a White Shirt

On that sweltering afternoon, a spilled jasmine milk tea by the window became the opening line of Lin Wei’s youth. The transfer student, Zhou Yu, strode into her ordinary world in a crisp white shirt, like a perfectly precise mathematical formula. He was the morning star high in the heavens, the top student everyone admired: rational, composed, and beyond reach. She was merely one of countless stars quietly looking up at him.

The silent crush that began in midsummer subtly changed with each of his seemingly accidental stops beside her. He remembered the doodles in her notes, offered her a tissue when she was embarrassed, and read her moods through his own distinctive brand of “data analysis.” From school corridors to foreign time zones, from youthful fluttering hearts to growing side by side, he used rigorous logic to prove that love was inevitable, while she used the strokes of her pen to sketch their shared future.

When Geneva’s particle collider revealed the secrets of the universe, and pixels in Beijing came together to build the warmth of everyday life, seven years together proved that the most precise algorithm was the path that brought them closer, and the greatest discovery was the cosmic constant called “I love you.” This is an exquisitely romantic story of reason colliding with emotion, from school uniforms to wedding dresses. See how top student Zhou Yu uses the laws of science to write love poems meant only for Lin Wei, and witness a tender resonance that spans time.
