“Maomao, Jinshi, and the Four Seasons” Project Conclusion: June Visual
The 12th installment of the “Maomao, Jinshi, and the Four Seasons” visual project, released this time for June, is themed around hydrangeas glistening with raindrops. It depicts Maomao eagerly trying to catch a snail leisurely strolling on a hydrangea after the rain, while Jinshi leans in to watch her. With their sparkling smiles that could seemingly blow away the gloomy feeling of the rainy season, this visual is truly radiant.
