In the late autumn of Maple City No. 2 Middle School, the campus is always immersed in the fragrance of golden osmanthus. Transfer student Lu Zhao meets the legendary "Flower of the High Mountains" Shen Yan. One is a painting genius who is full of thorns but longs for warmth. He secretly draws the profile of a young boy in a sketchbook; the other is the top grader who is overwhelmed by family expectations and hides his throbbing in every time he borrows an eraser pretending to be casual. They shared unfinished paintings in the morning light of the studio, and exchanged thoughts in the library at dusk. The greenest secrets were hidden on the school road intertwined with sycamore leaves and ginkgo leaves. When family changes and the pressure to enter higher education hit, the two teenagers learned to reconcile with the past and rush to their future in each other's company, and those unspoken feelings had already quietly grown over the years.
Purpose: Through the meeting and understanding of two teenagers on campus, it shows the "light in the cracks" in the growth of youth - even if they have huddled in the shadows due to the repression of their original family and the confusion of self-worth, they can still find the courage to break through in each other's company.
