A Secret Crush Is a Two-Way Observation

The Principle of Avoiding Eye Contact

"The only time I can look at you openly is during the 0.3 seconds when the basketball goes through the hoop."

"The cheering on the basketball court is the only time I can look at you openly."

Exam papers covered in the letter L, and a confession hidden in song lyrics.

Lu Zhi, the top student in the grade, has a secret: when no one is around, he listens to that song, thinking of the girl who always runs away.

Chen Yan, the class's worst student, has a habit: she only looks up to search for that tall figure when the crowd is cheering.

When that lyric appears on his social media,

she discovers the tenderness hidden beneath his cold exterior.

It turns out the greatest distance isn't from No. 2 High School to Tsinghua University,

but the distance between wanting to get closer and avoiding each other's gaze in youth.
