Shi Moyan's secret crush was a silent vigil. She hid her feelings in the grooves carved into her desk, between the lines of her weekly journal, and in the sudden pounding of her heart whenever she brushed past him.
Xu Jinxuan's secret crush was a long wait. He wrote his feelings into the words in his notes app, and hid them in an extra set of notes, a cup of strawberry milk kept at room temperature, and every walk home when he just happened to be going the same way as her.
They once thought their secret crushes would quietly come to an end when they graduated.

When wisteria bloomed across campus and the rain fell like poetry, they finally heard the echoes in each other's hearts.
This is a youthful love story of two people finding their way to each other. It turns out, we didn't finally fall in love. We finally dared to love.
