The Ruan and Fu families are top family friends in Nancheng. Ruan Zhiyu and Fu Yanli have lived next to each other since they were young. They have ranked first in their grades since childhood and are recognized as the "Selected CP" by the whole school.
She is a gentle and cold-blooded daughter of a wealthy family, but she hides the fact that he has been suffering from cancer since childhood, and endures the severe pain alone to survive; he is an unruly and dignified young master from a noble family, who hides his love deeply and has a two-way crush throughout the whole process, but he is always trapped by arrogance and worries, and dare not break through the window paper.
A sudden change occurred in her senior year of high school. Her condition took a turn for the worse and she was forced to drop out of school for treatment. In order not to disrupt his pace of exam preparation, and to maintain the last trace of dignity, she united everyone and lied to the outside world that she was "suggested to be sent to Qingbei and leave school early", and she completely disappeared from his world.
He believed it, studied hard day and night, and vowed to go to the city where she was to take the exam and go to the appointment of "meeting at the top". He was filled with the prospect of meeting her again in the future.
As the cicadas chirped in midsummer, he stepped into the college entrance examination room with full expectations, writing furiously to write down their future.
In the hospital outside the examination room, she took her last breath and read his name, forever frozen at the age of eighteen.
It wasn't until he received the bad news in the examination room that he learned the whole truth - the so-called escort was a lie she had weaved with her life; the so-called alienation was the fulfillment of hiding her illness and love.
The girl who loved him for more than ten years and endured all the hardships on her own did not say a word of love or say goodbye until her death.
For the rest of his life, he kept her diary and relics, never married, and lived in endless regret.
The cicadas have stopped chirping in the summer, and his love has not been answered. His youth will always stop at the place where she left.
