The spirited Lin Taotao comes from a small city in the south, carrying her hopes for college as she rushes through the gates of A University. On registration day, though, she spills an ice-cold peach soda all over the cool, aloof campus genius Jiang Yubai and scatters his enrollment documents. She thinks it is just an awkward encounter between strangers, but fate has other plans: they turn out to be next-door neighbors and, by sheer coincidence, sign up for the same elective.
From then on, the seats beside each other in the library, shared tables in the cafeteria, and brown sugar water and cooling sleeves on the military training field become part of their daily lives. She is a fizzy peach bursting with summer warmth, blundering into his quiet world with sweet affection. He is an iceberg melting in the depths of winter, sheltering her beneath a gently tilted umbrella with a quiet tenderness.
From the shy hesitance of their mutual crushes to the heart-fluttering confession beneath the cherry blossoms, and finally the glint of a ring on the graduation carpet, this is a sweet campus romance spanning four years. There are no melodramatic misunderstandings or heart-wrenching push and pull, only steady companionship and two people growing together as they choose each other.
When a peach-flavored crush meets the gentleness of a math department genius, she discovers that the sweetest thing about youth is simply looking up and seeing you smiling softly amid the distant lights.
