Midsummer Meets Again and Again

The midsummer heat wave swept over them year after year, but only that sudden rainstorm sealed their fate forever in the summer when they were thirteen. Jiang Xia remembered that afternoon when cicadas were chirping noisily, her father's company suddenly encountered a financial crisis, so he quickly packed his luggage and took her across the ocean. But when he turned around, he saw tears and reluctance in his eyes. From then on, the two children who originally agreed to collect shells together every midsummer were scattered to opposite ends of the world by the waves of fate. Eight years later, when Jiang Xia returned to her motherland as an exchange student, in the lecture theater of a top domestic university, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated violently because of that familiar figure. Gu Yan is no longer the thin boy in his memory, but has become a college student with a cold temperament. He was sitting in the last row of the classroom, seemingly out of tune with his surroundings, but when Jiang Xia handed over her homework, his fingertips inadvertently touched the shell necklace on her collar. At that moment, Gu Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was struck by the lightning of memory. In the midsummer when they reunited, the campus was full of phoenix flowers, the air conditioner in the library always broke down, and the waves on the seaside still lapped at the rocks in memory. Jiang Xia found that Gu Yan seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance. It wasn't until an accident during a heavy rain that she learned that he had shouldered the burden of the family alone over the years. His mother died of illness and his father was addicted to alcoholism. But he himself had carved a way out for himself in the cold reality through excellent grades and scholarships. At the same time, Jiang Xia also concealed the fact that she had traveled to many countries with her father, and her heart was still unable to adapt to the fragility of a wandering life. When the midsummer heat wave reaches its peak, they finally meet again at the beach. The sea breeze howled by, and Jiang Xia's long hair and Gu Yan's white shirt were intertwined in the wind, just like parting on that midsummer afternoon ten years ago, but completely different. This time, they no longer escape, but face the undying love deep in their hearts. "Midsummer will come again and again, just like my love for you has never stopped." Gu Yan's voice was mixed with the roar of the waves, but every word was clearly carved into Jiang Xia's heart. This summer, they are no longer just two strangers reunited, but the most steadfast companions in each other's lives. On a campus where phoenix flowers are in full bloom, under the malfunctioning air conditioning of the library, and amid the never-ending waves at the beach, they write their own "midsummer cycle" together - every separation is for a better reunion, and every midsummer is a moment of rebirth of love. This is a story about love, growth and redemption, as well as a fable about the reincarnation of seasons and the reunion of fate. When the midsummer heat wave swept across again, they finally understood that some love is like the changing of seasons, seemingly separated but will eventually return; some reunions are like fate, and even if they are ten years apart, they can rekindle the flame in each other's hearts under the midsummer sunshine. Intent: The innocent emotions in childhood memories become the cornerstone of growing up, meeting and falling in love. The courage to actively pursue makes midsummer regrets finally come true.
