In his freshman year of high school, Wen Luoxi stared at the red cross on the physics test paper, then glanced at Xu Zhi, who was firmly ranked first in the grade, and secretly hid his secret love in the wrong question book.
She is sensitive and has low self-esteem, and is a left-behind girl who is always lagging behind in science. He is dazzling, but he keeps failing in Chinese. An unexpected complementary study brought the two worlds to intersect - she helped him overcome reading difficulties, and he taught her to dismantle the physics maze. There were more and more comments on the wrong question book, and ambiguity quietly grew under the light of the evening self-study.
"Do you like Xu Zhi?" Her best friend Ye Qing's teasing revealed her worries, but Wen Luoxi looked at the performance gap between the two and fell into self-doubt. It wasn't until her parents' letters came with the encouragement that "everything doesn't have to be perfect" and Xu Zhi whispered, "Your eyes are shining when you're giving a lecture" when returning to deliver an umbrella on a rainy night, that she understood that love is never about looking up in one direction.
The choice of liberal arts and science subjects, the trough of failure in competition, and the pressure of sprinting for the college entrance examination, they draw strength from each other's light and live "I" as "we". There is no grand confession, but there is a tacit understanding of moving forward side by side; there is no commitment to bind each other, only the agreement of "each is excellent, and we will meet at the top".
On the day the results were released, she received the admission notice to the Normal University, and a message from him popped up on her phone: "I'm waiting for you at XX University. I'll go back to high school to see the banyan tree during the winter vacation."
It turns out that the best youth is to borrow half of your time to make me a better myself.
