Half-Summer, No Return Date

In their youth, Lin Yu was a quiet, reserved top student, and he and the equally gentle and accomplished Su Wanxing grew close during high school. They shared their feelings in online conversations, but were too shy to speak at school, keeping their affection hidden in their hearts.

A senseless act of bullying shattered their peaceful days. Unable to overcome his anguish, the once-gentle boy shed his docile nature and became a rebellious troublemaker at school. Their old rapport slowly faded, their constant companionship gave way to distance, and the two gradually set out on entirely different paths.

As the years passed, their appearances and personalities changed. People came and went, yet deep in their hearts they always kept a place for each other.

The feelings they never voiced, the youth they never got to share side by side, ultimately came to an end in the height of summer. Their old friend drifted farther away, and with nowhere to put all that deep affection, the years stretched on, with no hope of returning.
