There is a youthful warmth hidden in the campus in midsummer, and the bond between Nan Zhixun and Jiang Huai quietly grows in daily life. When sitting next to him during morning reading, he would push his scrawled notes to her to complete, and she would quietly help him cover the comic books on the desk to avoid the teacher's inspection; when walking side by side in the corridor between classes, he would always like to grab them. The exercise book in her hand is joking, but she will patiently talk about the topic when she frowns; the occasional bickering and quarrels hide a small heartbeat, the boy's unruliness hides his exclusive tenderness, and the girl's shyness is wrapped in ignorance and affection. Time passes many years later, the wedding scene in W City is soaked by the rain. Jiang Huai is wearing black clothes to hide his haggardness. He stares at Nan Zhixun in a wedding dress in the corner. Nine years of love have turned into an obsession that makes him cough up blood. The joy of the campus is intertwined with the regrets of today. From midsummer to late autumn, from a young boy to a forbearing adult, this bond that spans time hides the unexpressed feelings of youth and the sadness of not being able to love.
Purpose: The tender heartbeat of youth and the regrets accumulated over time, describing the affectionate ties from the joy of youth to the confusion for the rest of life.
