"From then on, I found my own midsummer.
Main text copy:
The story of Xia Duyu and Duan Shengming started with an unseemly mistake.
Last winter, it was very warm by the window on the third floor of the library. Xia Du reached the peak of his review and fell asleep on the table.
It was dark when she woke up. She mistook Duan Shengming's English notes as her own information, grabbed the notebook in a panic and ran away without even leaving a single explanation.
This incident was forgotten by her, but it became a faint mark in Duan Shengming's memory.

The timeline slipped to junior year, and the stories officially intersected.
Xiang Cen was going to find his boyfriend Cheng Xu, so he took Xia Duyu and knocked on the door of dormitory 302.
The door hinge clicked softly, and Duan Shengming stood inside the door, wearing a cleanly cut shirt with a button loosened at the collar. The alienation in winter was gone, and he was a little more calm and solemn.
The two eyes collided without warning, and he calmly uttered two words: "I've seen it."
These two simple words instantly opened Xia Du's dusty memories.
When Duan Shengming talked about how she took the notes by mistake in the library, her cheeks turned red from the tips of her ears to her neck, she lowered her eyes and did not dare to look at him, and apologized in a low voice.
It was this awkward and sincere encounter that made their fates truly intertwined.

KTV during college graduation season.
The lights in the box were blurred, and Duan Shengming sang "Into the Sea". When he sang "Jumping into the sea of people, each has his own wind and rain," his eyes lightly swept over her; and when Xia Duyu sang "So Many People in the World", his voice floated softly, saying "How lucky, I have us."

After graduation, they fell into the bustling city together.
The neon lights in the city are cold, but they become warm because of Duan Shengming's presence.
Finally one night, Duan Shengming stopped, looked at Xia Duyu seriously, and confessed all the love hidden in the years: "From the time I took it by mistake in the library, from the moment you blushed and apologized at the door of the dormitory, I can no longer look away. Xia Duyu, I like you."
