In her senior year of high school, Lin Zhi ran into Jiang Xu's arms and her seventeen-year-old heart.
He was a cool academic who was firmly ranked first in his grade, but he only hid his unique tenderness towards her: he shielded her from the punishment of the class teacher, handed her hot cocoa and a warm umbrella on rainy days, accompanied her to finish a whole book of wrong questions under the light of evening study hall, and silently hugged her when she collapsed and said "I have you".
They are tablemates, confidants, and happy enemies who have a secret love for each other. The trivial jokes of passing notes in class, the running side by side in the cafeteria to grab food, the heartbeat of looking at each other across the sea during the New Year's Eve fireworks, the sourness of tormenting each other during the Cold War... All the sweetness and bitterness of youth are hidden in every moment the two of them are close to each other.
They agreed to go to the south together, to go from school uniforms to the future, and to let the summer night wind witness forever. But a volunteer form finally pushed the two of them to the far distance between the north and the south.
There was no bloody misunderstanding, no earth-shattering parting, only the cowardice of youth, the realistic distance, and the unspoken "I like you".
Later, Lin Zhi wrote all the regrets of his youth in the evening breeze in the south, while Jiang Xu rushed towards his future in the snowy night in the north. They all lived as if they were blessing each other, but never saw each other again.
When the wind blows in the summer night, it blows away the entire seventeen years old, and also blows away the young man who once said he would stay with her for the rest of his life.
It turns out that the cruelest thing about youth is never not being able to love, but love in both directions, but ultimately missing it and never coming back.
