The summer wind blows through the gardenia garden
This is a youth growth epic that spans high school and university. It tells the story of the first encounter between introverted transfer student Su Wan and sunny academic Lu Xingchen beside the gardenia bushes at Xingyu Middle School. From then on, they began a journey of youth intertwined with friendship, love and dreams.
During the three years of high school, they faced side by side the choice of liberal arts and science subjects, the troubles of campus rumors, and the turmoil of tampering with test papers. They encouraged each other at the sports meeting, warmed each other in the winter, and adhered to their common agreement under the pressure of the senior year of high school - to be admitted to Beijing University. Lin Weiwei's enthusiasm and Chen Mo's calmness became the most solid backing during this period of youth. The four of them carved precious memories of working side by side in the fragrance of gardenias.
Entering Peking University, from the mutual support in military training to the day and night companionship on campus, from the candlelight on Christmas Eve to the glory of the literary competition, they shine in different professional fields, but always stick to their commitment to each other. Even with the test of half a year of cross-border separation, longing has turned into a driving force for mutual growth. In the end, Su Wan was successfully admitted to graduate school, Lu Xingshen continued his studies, and their love became stronger with the tempering of time.
From the innocent thoughts of young people to the solemn confession of a lifetime of joining hands, from the chirping of cicadas in Xingyu Middle School to the evening breeze by Weiming Lake, this youth story spanning six years is full of sweetness and purity like the fragrance of gardenias. It witnesses the young girls sticking to their original aspirations as they grow up, achieving each other in love, and finally letting the promise of youth shine with eternal light in the years.
