Xu Zhaning spent his whole youth looking up at a young man who was as dazzling as the midsummer sun - Jiang Yubai.
From the heartbeat when she first met her in the first year of high school to the joy she had secretly hidden for three years, she gave all her tenderness and piety to the man standing in the center of the crowd. She worked hard, approached quietly, and tried to please him carefully, thinking that as long as she was good enough, she would be seen by him.
But there are always shining people around him.
The stars in the summer evening were bright and dazzling, and he was a match made in heaven. They were destined in everyone's eyes, but she was just a passer-by who had been attracted by his heart for a moment and had never been chosen.
Before the college entrance examination, she tried all her courage to confess her love, but only received an understatement of "just a classmate."
At the graduation party, he officially announced his relationship in public, but she could only leave quietly.
Later, she moved away from home, put away her youthful obsessions, slowly healed herself in the tender years, and lived a quiet and self-consistent life. But he was happily married to others, and had everything she had ever dreamed of, from school uniforms to wedding dresses.
Reunited after many years, they were as polite as strangers.
She finally understood: If you are not liked by a firm choice, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
This secret love that no one knows about begins with the blooming of gardenias, and ends with the gardenias fragrant and white.
She loved her seriously, but she was never chosen by him.
This was the tenderest and most regretful heartbeat in her youth.
The fragrance of gardenia is full of white, and the heart is moved, but it is always a passer-by.
Purpose: To write about love without success. In the end, the heroine is relieved and the hero never forgets her.
