First of all, this isn't a clichéd story.
There are so many ordinary girls in this world for whom the enviable romances of their school years were never meant to be. No one ever slipped them a love letter. They always had to fill their own thermoses. They never knew what a boy's clean collar smelled like or what it felt like to be held in his arms. They never experienced the secret thrill of dating in secret. They kept missing their chances and falling for people from afar. Maybe their grades slipped, and their so-called 'rebellion' wore away a boy's affection. Or perhaps they were too insecure and timid beneath a boy's dazzling light, and let a good match slip away. So we hold onto our memories of youth alone, with that clean-cut, bright-eyed boy tucked inside them. So many regrets.
Xia Ningchu was one of those girls. She never had a school romance and missed the boy who had always looked out for her. She simply hurried to shed her insecure, awkward younger self and plunged into the adult world, while that cool, proud boy only kept her company in her dreams from time to time.
Who could have known? In this world, some girls eventually find their way back to the love of their youth and make up for what they missed. They shed their childishness, grow into adults, and reconcile with the years of their teens, finally finding the one they once adored from afar.
It all comes down to this: the moon, the breeze, and a heart that has never changed.
