2015-2016, Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. Ruan Sheng, the daughter of the richest man, fell in love with Shen Yan, a poor student at first sight, under a camphor tree. However, she chose to "hibernate" because of the disparity in status: she hid a limited edition schoolbag, stuffed money anonymously, broke half a piece of rubber, and spent her entire youth performing "I don't care about you."
2018-2022, Beijing-Shanghai. During their college days, the two lived together in the north and the south. They never said goodbye formally, but they never really separated. Ruan Sheng fell into overeating and the "replacement cycle", and her seven relationships all reflected fragments of Shen Yan; Shen Yan worked part-time, planted trees, and volunteered, responding to the love she didn't dare to say with four long years of "return." It wasn't until the rainy night in Beijing that the old umbrella was opened again, and they made up for the missed time on both sides of the iron gate.
In the end, Ruan Sheng burned seven substitute books, and Shen Yan replaced her with the pearl hairpin she got from the charity sale that year - all the humility and looking up in the dark finally grew into two trees standing side by side on the ground.
Concept: True love is not possession, but "I secretly make myself better where you can't see me, and then walk up to you openly."
