Jiang Che's world is quiet, composed of canvas, paint and unspoken thoughts. He is used to wrapping his sensitive and suspicious heart with a cold shell, and is used to walking alone in the crowd. The only light came from that midsummer three years ago - Shao Xingchi wanted to be a light that split the haze and reached out when he was being bullied. From then on, an unspeakable secret was planted in his heart.
Shao Xingchi is the summer sun, bright, warm and magnanimous, possessing everything Jiang Che longs for but dare not approach. When the competition in the provincial art competition ignites the fire in the dark, and when a destroyed painting reveals the undercurrent on campus, Jiang Che finds himself standing under the spotlight, and Shao Xingchi once again becomes his refuge.
This is a story about secret love, growth and redemption. In the noisy summer of cicadas, between the canvas and the basketball court, under the umbrellas on rainy nights and the candlelight on birthdays, the two teenagers will approach each other cautiously, learning how to put down their guard in love, and how to still believe in beauty after being hurt. When the midsummer rainstorm clears the sky, they will finally understand that there are some secrets that should have bloomed in the sunshine.
Purpose: To explore self-identity and the courage to love in youth. Through the story of two teenagers, it is shown that true strength is not to close one's heart, but to dare to be vulnerable. Between hurt and shelter, they learn to get along with the world with their true selves - love is not seeing all the light in each other's imperfect souls
