The summer wind in Jiangcheng carries the fragrance of gardenia flowers, blowing away the second year of junior high school for the young girl Lu Nianwan. As a top student in Class 13 of Xingchen Middle School, she was supposed to follow the expectations of her parents (Lu Shiyan and Su Wan) and move forward steadily in the sea of books. However, during campus encounters one after another, she was distracted by the young man named Lu Yanchen from Class 15. He was the class monitor with top grades, a figure sweating on the sports field, and the secret in his smile that made her heart beat faster.
This ignorant love is like a quietly growing vine, entwining the girl's thoughts. Fortunately, his best friend Shen Jianan knew what was going on, and Lu Yanchen's classmate Chen Yuxin was able to help him. The friends from the two classes spontaneously formed an "Assist Team" to give Lu Nianwan advice on his pursuit of love: using a difficult problem to create a chance encounter, using a bottle of warm water to express his feelings, cheering for him at the sports meeting, and creating "free" peers after self-study in the evening...
In the tug-of-war between the aloof academic master and the brave girl, there are no earth-shattering vows, only small notes hidden in homework books, pretending to be casual looking at each other in the corridor, and red cheeks when being heckled by friends. From cautious exploration, to tacit approach, to the cicadas and stars walking side by side, they use the purest appearance to interpret the most touching chapter of youth - it turns out that liking someone is to turn "I" into "we", making ordinary campus daily life dyed with sweet tenderness.
This is a story about growth and heartbeat, hiding the shyness and bravery that every boy and girl once had. Under the sycamore tree of Xingchen Middle School, their unique deeds are written.
