    --- 📚"Gardenia Summer Song" | Secret love is the wind, and you are the only echo in my youth🍃 On that midsummer afternoon, Xia Ningzhi got up in a panic, and poured a glass of water on the unruly Jiang Hexu - "Which class are you from, walking without looking at the road?" His tone was impatient, but the moment she raised her eyes in panic, her heartbeat skipped half a beat. ✨ On the first day of transferring school, she clenched her schoolbag strap tightly and stood by the podium, like a deer that strayed into the forest. And Jiang Hexu raised his head from his sleep and ran into her bewildered eyes. "Interesting." The two words quietly filled my heart, and the irritability of waking up disappeared. He always liked to cover up his concern with coldness: "Give me the schoolbag." But during the evening self-study when the night breeze lifted the curtains, he silently took over the exercises she didn't know: "Bring them here." In the summer when the cicada chirping faded, the fragrance of ink rubbed into the night, and also opened up two hearts that were slowly approaching. From the chaos of war when they first met, to every moment of tacit understanding looking at each other - it turns out that the sweetest candy of youth is the favor hidden in the details, the exception that is only gentle to you. 🌸 "Gardenia Summer" takes you back to that throbbing summer to see how the quiet girl and the arrogant boy compose a healing and heartwarming campus love song! Every frame is super sweet, and every scene is the most beautiful look of youth💕 #CampusSweetPet #YouthThrill #SecretLovecomesTrue #Two-way Healing
