[A brilliant scholar who takes life as a game accidentally falls for a kindhearted country girl who heals his heart]
When the new school year begins in their first year of high school, all of Jiang Zhishui’s dormmates are gossiping about academic prodigy Gu Shi. Meanwhile, she’s messaging him to return something she borrowed.
When the students are sorted into classes in their second year, the whole class sings “Happy Birthday” to Jiang Zhishui, their beloved classmate. Gu Shi waits outside with a bag of candy.
During summer vacation at university, the class goes hiking for a reunion. Social butterfly Jiang Zhishui somehow doesn’t appear in any of her classmates’ photos, not even one. Then someone anonymously drops a picture in the class chat, and the group explodes. Eager to catch up on the gossip, Jiang Zhishui copies and reposts a message along with everyone else. Suddenly, the chat is full of people tagging Gu Shi, with “hahaha” memes flying everywhere. Gu Shi replies with just three words.
