[Semi-fictional setting, coming-of-age, both virgins, mutual secret crush]
One summer five years ago, Lin Han met Cheng Xiaomu, who had come to stay at his home, and immediately felt an unusual desire to possess him.
Cheng Xiaomu admired Lin Han's confidence, yet their differences made him doubt himself.
Sunflowers on the seaside ring road, as if sharing an unspoken understanding; an ambiguous glance beside the tuberoses in the moonlight. In an instant, winter's cold wind blew it all away.
After failing the arts entrance exam, the "genius" fell from grace overnight. Unable to control his resentment, he made the knot between two teenage boys even harder to untangle.
At their graduation party, a bouquet of flowers put their mutual secret crush on the brink of collapse.
Lin Han couldn't understand why Cheng Xiaomu suddenly started avoiding him.
Cheng Xiaomu didn't know when Lin Han would stop putting up with his stubbornness.
After they parted without a word, nearly four years of no contact passed. Both of them grew up a lot, gradually learning how to express love and how to love bravely.
"The world isn't a greenhouse. Flowers without shelter will be battered by the wind and rain, until they are broken, whether they fight to survive or simply wither away."
"People describe lisianthus as thornless roses. Xiaomu, I want to be your greenhouse and become your thorns."
Spring comes, and joy follows.
Theme: Loving someone is like growing a flower. Insisting on having everything your own way won't make the road to love any smoother. You need to keep learning how to love before you can love with confidence.
