In the midsummer of the third year of high school, under the shade of the sycamore tree, Lin Zhixia fell in love with Jiang Yubai at first sight.
There are lemon candies on the corner of the classroom table day after day, a book full of comments on wrong questions, and an umbrella held by the Communist Party in heavy rains. A careful and unknown two-way secret love slowly grows in the chirping of cicadas.
But the young man's mind is fragile. An inadvertent closeness was caught by others, rumors followed one after another, and the teacher repeatedly warned him. Forced by the turbulent gazes around them, they could only distance themselves tacitly, pretending to be strangers, and finish their senior year full of regrets.
After the college entrance examination, the two of them were separated by a sea of people. There was no time to exchange contact information. It was six years since they were separated.
Many years later, by chance, the Hydrangea Courtyard rented by Lin Zhixia welcomed a new tenant, and the long-awaited reunion came as scheduled.
After losing the cowardice of their youth, they were able to spend time together day and night surrounded by the endless summer in the courtyard, slowly untying the knot in their hearts, and agreed to confess their feelings on the anniversary of their first meeting and make up for all the mistakes they had made in their youth.
Everyone thought that the lost love would be stable for a long time, but a sudden accident shattered all expectations forever.
Endless summer blooms year after year, and midsummer returns year after year.
There is still hope for reunion after the separation when we were young, but this farewell is a long loneliness that spans the rest of our lives and never waits for our return.
Concept: The heartbeat of young people is trapped in rumors, and they meet again after six years; when all regrets are about to be healed, the sudden separation separates the two forever. Flowers bloom endlessly and summer cycles, but only old friends will always stay in that midsummer, telling: reunion may not be perfect, companionship should be cherished, and long-term longing is a tender regret that cannot be solved for the rest of life.
