The names that closely depend on each other on the red list, the seemingly absent eyes on the basketball court, the fingertips that accidentally touch each other in the laboratory, the jackets that carry body heat on rainy nights... Su Yichen and Xiao Yucheng from Class 1, Grade 2, are recognized as "rivals" by the whole school, but they hide a secret that only Mu Jinhua knows.
Su Yichen's thoughts were like vines entangled with hibiscus, creeping quietly throughout his entire adolescence - he liked Xiao Yucheng, ever since that summer, when the boy clenched his fists and stood in front of him. And Xiao Yucheng, this "school bully" who is full of thorns but hides gentleness, always carries a faint fragrance of hibiscus. The fragrance is sometimes distant and sometimes close, like an unspoken agreement, quietly fermenting in countless moments of looking at each other.
When the names Xia Yangze and Ye Yufan become a bridge between the two people, and when the hibiscus flower blooms and withers year after year, these two teenagers, who are tightly bound by fate, will eventually understand in time: the so-called "hibiscus appointment" is never a competition, but the unspoken "I care about you" hidden in each other's eyes.
Purpose: Focusing on the emotional exploration and self-growth in youth, using hibiscus to connect the process of teenagers from "competition" to "understanding each other's care", showing how the secret emotions of adolescence ferment in daily interactions, conveying the core of "on the road of growth, we must bravely face the true emotions in our hearts, learn to understand and pursue in the bonds", and let the ignorance and purity of youth become the light that illuminates each other.
