Summer in Qinglan City is always filled with passionate youth surrounded by the chirping of cicadas. Yu Nian, the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, became the object of everyone's attention when she entered school. She was not good at mathematics and failed in science in her freshman year of high school. After decisively transferring her essay, she formed a "bipolar confrontation" with her neighbor Song Mingzhao, who had always been ranked first in science. Song Mingzhao became the school boy with a handsome but miserable face. His family was wealthy but lonely, and he became even more desolate after his grandfather passed away. Only the fireworks of Yu Nian's home became the little sun in his gloomy life; while Yu Nian, who seemed to be a well-behaved person, hid an unknown vitality and rebellion in his bones.
In her sophomore year of high school, sudden changes in her family broke the peace. Her father cheated on her and her parents divorced. Yu Nian's world collapsed. Her grades plummeted. She fell in love with a suitor and was often interviewed by teachers. Song Mingzhao, who had always been cold and indifferent, made an exception for the first time to intervene, but at the moment when Yu Nian threw herself into his arms and broke down crying, he understood his own hidden thoughts. He began to clumsily "rescue" her, accompany her to make trouble, and accompany her to climb over the wall and break into the campus at night to escape the boring self-study. However, the teacher finally invited her parents, and Yu Nian's mother scolded her, causing the two of them to fall into a year-long silence.
After the college entrance examination, the two went to different universities. Yu Nian deliberately distanced himself after learning about Song Mingzhao's family background, not wanting to delay his bright future. It wasn't until her junior year that she learned about the deep love that spanned many years from Song Mingzhao's suitor. When the cicadas chirp again, the missed time is finally salvaged. This youthful bond that began in midsummer has finally come to a successful conclusion after three years of ups and downs.
Purpose: Using the cicadas and Qinglan No. 1 Middle School as the background of youth, it interprets the deep affection that spans time and the persistence of love.
