When he was five, he hopped around like a rabbit beside the swimming pool as he explained his name. From then on, she called him "Bunny." Later, she immigrated to Australia with her family. Her letters grew fewer and fewer, until they lost touch completely.
At sixteen, Jiang Yue went to Australia for overseas training and reunited with Xu Tang by the sea. A first love kept secret from his coach, a kiss in a park, a painting signed "Tang"... Then his phone was confiscated, contact was cut off overnight, and she never even got an explanation.
When they met again, his career was at its lowest point: his results were declining, injuries plagued him, his senior teammate had turned against him, and younger competitors were closing in. She returned to China to look for pearls and saw him in the news.
This time, she accompanied him onto the Olympic podium. But after winning the gold medal, he still wanted to keep swimming, while she wanted to ask what the future held for them.
Some summers pass, but summer will come again.
