In Wutong Lane, Chang'an Town, where the fragrance of osmanthus floats, seven-year-old An Yueyang met Lin Yuheng, who had transferred from school and was bullied. An Yueyang used his bravery and warmth to hold up a small world for the injured Lin Yuheng. After that, the two "encountered" countless times in the alley and grew up together in the most innocent and subtle way.
Entering junior high school, from being classmates to helping each other, feelings quietly grow in every moment of getting along. An Yueyang would be distracted by Lin Yuheng's figure, and Lin Yuheng would silently hand her the steps to solve the problem. The thoughts hidden in the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and firefly gifts were the purest romance of boyhood.
However, when Lin Yuheng's cousin Su Nian appeared, An Yueyang witnessed her intimate interaction with Lin Yuheng, and suddenly realized that this ignorant love might be out of reach. The story uses delicate writing to describe the youthful thoughts of young girls on their journey of growth, amidst the intertwining of heartbeat, confusion and loss, exploring love and distance. It not only contains the beauty of first encounter, but also implies the melancholy of not getting what they want, and composes a tender and slightly sour youth love song.
Purpose: The story is based on youth growth and aims to show the beauty and helplessness of pure emotions in youth. Through An Yueyang and Lin Yuheng's mutual protection from the time they first met, to the secret feelings but hazy confusion caused by various reasons during the growth process, it conveys the unspoken love in youth, although it is as hard to touch as the stars, but it is still a warm and precious memory on the road of growth; it also reflects the sensitivity and delicacy when facing emotions in youth, and the true meaning of growth in understanding love and distance in regret.
