That One Summer (A TianZiyu AU)

Zi Yu never asked for this summer. Sent from Beijing to his grandmother's café in Hangzhou, he expects only silence among tea fields and narrow lanes. What he doesn't expect is the calligraphy scroll hanging above the counter, its words promising: "When hearts know each other, the future is never lonely."

And he certainly doesn't expect Xu Ning-sharp-eyed, stubborn, impossible to ignore. At first, they clash: Zi Yu, too rigid for the quiet village; Xu Ning, too restless to be contained by it. Yet in the quiet rhythm of summer days, something tender begins to bloom.

One summer. One village. Two boys whose lives cross by chance. Together, they embark on a journey of connection, courage, and self-discovery-a season brief in time, yet deep enough to change them forever.
