In midsummer, cicadas chirp noisily and heavy rain suddenly arrives. Jiang Yufeng, a sophomore in high school, uses a folding umbrella to break into the world of Sheng Yan, a top student who has always been alone.
The public and enthusiastic young man took the initiative to approach. The warm soy milk in the morning, the neat and meticulous annotations on wrong questions, the ice soda handed to him at the playground, and the slow walk home on a rainy night all concealed his unabashed preference and heartbeat. The cold and taciturn Sheng Yan was used to being alone, but she gradually lowered her guard in the company day after day. She responded to this sincere heart by patiently talking about topics, raising her hands to wipe sweat, and acquiescing to all the intimacy and tenderness.
The tacit cheers of classmates in the classroom, the overlapping shadows on the tree-lined avenue, and the ordinary high school daily life became witnesses of the two's secret heartbeat. There is no grand confession, only the accommodation and the tenderness that go in both directions day and night. In the hot and long summer, the young man's thoughts grow quietly, turning the evening breeze, drizzle and sunshine of the whole summer into an exclusive romance that belongs to each other.
Purpose: The story is free of bloody conflicts and intense dramatic contradictions. It focuses on the youthful, restrained and sincere same-sex feelings in the high school campus, and shows the purest feelings of adolescence: one party is enthusiastic and straightforward, taking the initiative, and the other party is cold and restrained, responding silently. Preference and tenderness are hidden in the trivial daily life of three meals and four seasons, praising the pure and sincere heartbeat of young people without any utilitarianism.
