When Summer Dies

Volunteer teacher X celebrity who helps farmers

“When someone calls your name, I find myself turning to look, too.”

/

In the late summer of the year she graduated from college, after her family urged her to go on a blind date for the third time, Su Mingshan, who had always been considered gentle and sensible, did something rebellious without saying a word.

She went to teach in a poor rural town two thousand kilometers from home.

In an unfamiliar place, she got lost while visiting a student on her own and accidentally fell.

Someone nearby was out gathering material. Su Mingshan struggled to her feet despite the pain, when a surprised voice came over to ask, “Ms. Su, you like Fu Chenglang too?”

Fu Chenglang, the handsome celebrity with a flawless face, modestly famous as an actor.

He drew attention wherever he went, a dazzling, favored son of heaven.

Back in high school, he had lost his ID photo, and to this day she still secretly kept it in her diary.

Su Mingshan's heart lurched. She turned around in a panic, searching for her fallen phone.

She didn't notice the familiarity in the person's voice:

“Brother Fu, look! There seems to be a fan of yours here!”

The next moment, a slender hand held her phone out to her.

The screen was lit. Its wallpaper was the photo of Fu Chenglang from Weibo that she had hesitated over for ages before carefully setting it.

Su Mingshan's heart almost stopped. She stiffly raised her head and met a pair of beautiful peach-blossom eyes, exactly like the ones on her wallpaper.

The man's flawless, handsome face was expressionless. Only when she looked up did he seem slightly taken aback.

They had gone from classmates who barely knew each other to having no further contact. After all these years, she had unexpectedly run into him again.

Like an absurd, beautiful dream.

Su Mingshan's eyes suddenly filled with tears.

Fu Chenglang, do you know?

In seven years of loving you, this is the first time I've looked into your eyes face-to-face.

"We met in summer, then parted in another summer.

A love that began because of you, yet had nothing to do with you; an “I like you” left unsaid.

You were like a breeze in summer, passing through my hair, as if embracing me for a fleeting moment.

When summer died,

one person's one-man show came to an end, and one girl's heart died for love."

From Su Mingshan's diary

how tenderly those who avoid your gaze were looking at you just a moment ago.”

His family is wealthy, and he'll leave the industry to work in another field.

The plot won't involve much of the entertainment industry.

The heroine has a crush on him, but she won't suffer or abase herself for him.
