Zhang Guiyuan's iron box hides the secret of the entire summer.
Every lemon candy wrapper records the days when he eavesdropped on Zhang Hanrui's singing practice. The twenty-seven steps from the basketball court to the music classroom were the distance he repeatedly measured between his crushes. He thought that this feeling would be sealed in the iron box forever, like those candy wrappers, with a sour sweetness.
Until he heard Zhang Hanrui write the first lyrics for him outside the music classroom: "The lemon candy I hid is the sour secret of the whole summer."
When misunderstandings caused two hearts that had just gotten close to drift apart, when courage lingered on the lips but was finally swallowed back, Zhang Hanrui completed the grandest confession with the song "The Summer Secret of Lemon Candy" under the spotlight of the school anniversary. The moment the song settled, Zhang Guiyuan finally understood that some feelings are destined not to be treasured forever.
He walked towards the stage and, under everyone's gaze, handed the iron box filled with his thoughts into Zhang Hanrui's hands.
"Lemon candy will expire," Zhang Hanrui wrote at the end of the lyrics, "but I like you, never will."
The two teenagers stumbled on the keys of youth and played the etude of love, and finally found the chords that belonged to each other that summer. When the sour secret love meets the gentle response, when the secret in the iron box blooms in the sun - it turns out that all cautious love is worthy of the loudest response.
This summer, secret love came to light, and their story has just begun.
Intention: to clear the clouds and see the moon, to keep the clouds clear
