The chirping of cicadas in midsummer carries the sweetness of orange soda, and the reckless girl Lin Wanxing plunges headlong into the youth of the aloof academic tyrant Jiang Yubai.
The bright yellow stains on the white shirt are the prologue of their story.
From the ignorant trials at the next table on campus, to the side-by-side self-study in the library; from the two-way travel with cross-border time differences, to the daily necessities of living together after graduation.
This was a heart-pounding tug-of-war that lasted for several years. There was no bloody sadomasochism, only the profile of the face hidden on the back of the draft paper, the little thoughts in the orange-flavored bookmarks, and countless "I like you" hesitating to say.
When the top student in science crosses over from the Chinese department, when a vigorous girl meets the cool academic god, it turns out that the sweetest secret of youth is that from the moment I meet you, the chirping of cicadas becomes a prelude to confession.
From the first encounter when the summer cicadas chirped and we stayed together for the rest of our lives, this can of orange soda-flavored heartbeat pays homage to our never-ending youth and love.
