Growing Up in Shizhou

In the fruity aroma of late summer at Wutong Lane, Qing Pingguo, who runs a fruit stall, and Ma Shizhou from the neighboring design institute meet by chance over two green apples. She is innocent and gentle, with a humble yet unyielding tenderness, living with her grandmother and tending the stall. He is warm and clean, wearing a faded white shirt, striving alone in the city with a passionate heart. This accidental encounter becomes the start of their fate. He comes daily to buy green apples, accompanying her to dispel loneliness and solve problems; she silently remembers his preferences, warming his busy life with small acts of kindness. The gap in their social status makes her feel inferior, afraid to reveal her feelings, while he persistently bridges the gap with companionship and sincerity, easing her insecurities. From youthful infatuation to mutual affection, from sharing a stall in the rain to a rooftop confession, and finally to a plain marriage, the sweetness of green apples and the tenderness of white shirts weave the most touching love story. Without grand vows, only enduring companionship, it tells of the purest and most lasting cherishment and devotion in ordinary people's love.
