On the evening in the orange garden after the college entrance examination, Shen Ju tore the classmates' notes filled with thoughts into leaves and pressed them under the roots of the tree. She hid mints for three years, hid twenty-seven rubber heartbeats, and finally hid them in the wind. In order not to be a drag, she tore up the notice from Peking University, broke off contact for four years, guarded her sick mother and the orange grove, and resigned to her fate as a left-behind girl.
As for the faraway places in Beijing, Lin Zhishi never stopped looking. He remembers the sweetness of every mint, the unspoken "me too" in the elevator, and traveled across mountains and ridges using summer research as an excuse to return to the starting point of their youth.
When the silent young man finally stood in the orange grove, when the love that had been hidden for seven years burst into his heart, the truth about his secret love and misplaced life that had been dusted by time finally turned into a powerful confession on the hillside under the sunset.
This is a two-way journey that spans seven years: she gives up to protect his light, and he travels over mountains and ridges to find her true heart. It turns out that some love is never a one-man show. Those unspoken likes will eventually bloom the most passionate flowers in the summer of reunion.
The core of a sentence: Mint candies hide the heartbeat of three years, and orange leaves hold deep love for seven years. He came over the mountains and ridges just for a two-way journey that was seven years late.
Deep feelings, countryside, and farming hidden in time.
