For Lin Luyan, the summer when she was nineteen years old was supposed to be a long vacation with air conditioning, watermelon and endless laziness. However, the doorbell rang, and a "trouble" named Lin Mowen was thrust into her life - a timid seventeen-year-old cousin from the countryside who was about to stay at her house to prepare for her senior year in high school.
At first, Lu Yan only felt that she had an extra troublemaker who needed to be cared for perfunctorily. She is unruly and unruly, while Mowen is quiet and well-behaved; she has a craving for spicy food, while Mowen eats light food; she is a nocturnal animal, and Mowen has a regular schedule. Two girls with completely different personalities and habits were forced to live under the same roof.
However, as they get along day after day, Lu Yan gradually discovers that this cousin, who seems to be weak and in need of protection, has inner tenacity and delicacy beyond her years. She would secretly help Luyan tidy up her room, silently hand her warm milk when she stayed up late, and even show her surprising wisdom when she encountered problems. Those inadvertent tenderness, like a trickle, quietly infiltrated Lu Yan's originally guarded heart.
From the initial alienation and subtlety during the running-in, to the unconscious approach and heartbeat, ambiguous feelings quietly grow in the heat and silence of summer. An unexpected kiss and a brave confession under the starry night finally allowed them to transcend the boundaries of "sisters" and see clearly the unique and sincere emotions in each other's hearts.
This is a summer story about growth, companionship and first love. It tells the story of how two girls go from strangers to familiarity, from estrangement to understanding, and finally bravely hold each other's hands and move towards a sunny future together. Just like the name of the story, their love may be slightly sour and throbbing like lemon at first taste, but the aftertaste is clear and sweet that penetrates the heart and spleen.
Purpose: Through the delicate emotional development between a pair of "pseudo-orthopedic" sisters, this work explores the core themes of the courage of self-identity, the power of sincere emotions, and how love transcends established labels and boundaries, leading individual growth and embracing the future. It gently conveys that true love comes from the mutual seeing and acceptance of souls, and can give people the courage to break through shackles, and with mutual support, we can move towards a broader world together.
