In the summer when I was seventeen years old, the cicadas chirped noisily like inextricable shackles, and the sun was bright but could not shine into the haze created by my original family.
Su Jixing is a shadow who is ignored by his family, silently carrying all the harshness and indifference, shrinking himself into a corner where he is not noticed; Xiao Zhaoye is a rebel with scars, using publicity to disguise vulnerability, and the brokenness of his original family makes him accustomed to arming himself with sharpness.
Two teenagers trapped in their own quagmire met unexpectedly on campus in the middle of summer. At first it was testing and pulling, a secret tacit understanding of like recognition, and later it was a cautious approach, an obsession to pull the other person out of the abyss. They share their unspoken grievances and their collapse in the middle of the night, thinking that each other is the only salvation in their youth.
But the imprint of the original family has already penetrated deep into the bone marrow. Misunderstandings, prejudices, and obstacles from reality are like fine rain, pouring on the hot emotions. They try their best to get closer, but they always hurt each other inadvertently; they want to give each other light, but they are still trapped in darkness.
That summer, as scorching as the sunshine was, my heart felt so sour; as real as the redemption was, the separation was so profound. They are the brightest light in each other's lives and the most painful calamity. In the turbulent youth, they completed a two-way journey with scars. It turns out that the best redemption is to know that the road ahead is bumpy, but still willing to light a spark for each other in the desolation.
Intention: Meeting you in the burning summer, using pain as a matchmaker, two-way redemption and symbiosis, breaking the original haze, and going to the young man's fiery two-way redemption
