In the autumn of her freshman year of high school, Chang Xiaoyu dragged her suitcase alone into the Beijing campus in the rain.
He didn't know that in this strange city, three people would become the warmest sunny days of his youth - Zheng Lin from the dormitory next door, Zhang Yang, a girl from the Northeast, and Lin Sheng, a rich second-generation roommate. They ordered takeout, watched movies together, and made a promise to "be together on the third Saturday of every month" by the lake in the Summer Palace.
He didn't even know that the flamboyant teenager who had flashed through the school sports meeting would become his classmate after taking subjects in the first grade of high school, and become the person who always loved to "bully" him - snatching his dolls, taking his combs, wearing his school uniforms, and then when he finally couldn't bear it anymore, he handed him a bottle of water and said: "I'm teasing you, don't be angry."
From opposition to closeness, from misunderstanding to heartbreak, there is a whole adolescent awkwardness and temptation between them. The agreement made in the second year of high school brought the two hearts closer together, and the misunderstanding in the third year of high school brought everything back to the starting point. And Zheng Lin, Zhang Yang, and Lin Sheng always stood behind Chang Xiaoyu, waiting with him for every rain to stop, and for that person to finally say: "I like you."
This is a story about waiting. Wait for the rain to stop, wait for the sky to clear, wait for the most important person in youth to finally come towards you.
Intent: This is a youth story about "waiting". Waiting is not passive suffering, but an active choice - choosing to believe that the rain will stop, choosing to believe that the person is worth waiting for, choosing to still maintain the courage to like someone in a long time. The story explores loneliness and companionship, misunderstanding and reconciliation, growth and perseverance in adolescence through Chang Xiaoyu's friendship with three friends and love with Shi Quan. Each character is waiting for his or her own sunny day: Chang Xiaoyu is waiting to be accepted, Shi Quan is waiting to be understood, Zheng Lin is waiting to be seen, Zhang Yang is waiting to be remembered, Lin Sheng is waiting to be needed, and even Zhou Lulu is waiting to be forgiven. Finally, they all waited. Because as long as there are people who are willing to wait for the rain to stop, the sky will always be sunny.
