People say they are like orchids and jade trees, vivid and lifelike.
Gu Yanzhi is a disciplined, restrained top student, cool and reserved, accustomed to burying his feelings deep inside. An Xu is the dazzling, carefree heartthrob in a school uniform, casual and rebellious. Bright and easygoing on the outside, he is sensitive, starved for love, and consumed by his own thoughts within.
One hides his feelings with quiet restraint, the other disguises his true heart. Though they are mutually drawn to each other and constantly worry about one another, both are held back by fear and misgivings. Neither dares cross the line between friendship, so they can only watch from afar and secretly yearn for each other.
Love quietly takes root over the long years of youth. Their constant testing and push-and-pull eventually give way to a day when the wind clears the fog, allowing the feelings they have hidden for so long to be declared.
For all the years to come, orchids and jade trees will stay together, flourishing side by side.
Theme: Shyness and hidden feelings in youth; they save each other and finally overcome their fears. Their love is mutual and wholehearted, bringing them a gentle, happy life together
