It's hot in midsummer, and eighteen-year-old Su Anli has been waiting.
Waiting for the boy who has been secretly in love for three years to respond, waiting for the scores to fulfill his expectations, waiting for him to go to a college outside the province to study the design major he has longed for.
But reality is overturned layer by layer.
Her father's forceful arrangement shattered her dream of a distant place, and she was forced to stay in the province and enroll in an art normal college, which she did not want.
The confession came to an abrupt end, and her dreams suddenly came to nothing. She thought they would separate after graduating from high school, but fate made her reunite with the troubled boy Lu Ye at the same university.
Rumors from others are spreading, the shackles of the family are still there, and the paintbrush is still in the hand.
After the grand summer fell into silence and failed, she wanted to regain her own path in a life of compromise.
Intention: Growth is not about letting go, but holding on to oneself in the gap between reality and love.
