The Fragrance of Gardenia in the Alley

The gardenia trees were in full bloom during the summer solstice. Su Wan met the gentle Gu Yanchuan in her small flower shop. She secretly fell in love and gave silently, using gardenias one after another to express her feelings that she dared not express. Even though she knew that he belonged to someone in her heart, she still yearned for the small warmth of getting along with him. It wasn't until he informed her of the engagement that this unrequited love finally came to an end. Su Wan didn't entangle or confess, she just said her blessings seriously, then closed the flower shop and ran to a distant place with the sea. When she met Gardenia again many years later, she was already relieved. Those regrets of not being able to love her were never a burden, but the light that illuminated her years. It was enough to bloom and smell.
