At the opening ceremony, something unexpected happened when Su Mengyao was giving a speech as a representative of freshmen. Jiang Yichen came to the rescue temporarily. The two met for the first time and their eyes met and they had a strange feeling.
The class seating arrangement assigned the two of them to the same table. Su Mengyao took the initiative to chat but Jiang Yichen responded coldly, but she noticed that he quietly helped her sort out the fallen stationery.
Su Mengyao discovered that Jiang Yichen stayed alone in the classroom to study late after school every day, and offered to study together. The two had their first academic confrontation.
In math class, the teacher raised a difficult problem, and Su and Jiang came up with different solutions at the same time. After class, they had an in-depth discussion and found that their thinking complemented each other.
The class organized an autumn outing. Su Mengyao warmly invited the lonely Jiang Yichen to join the group. The two got lost along the way and worked together to find a way out.
After the lost incident, the relationship between the two warmed up. Jiang Yichen began to take the initiative to discuss issues with Su Mengyao, but was coaxed by his classmates and retreated to a safe distance.
Before the mid-term exam, Su Mengyao suddenly suffered from a high fever. Jiang Yichen spent the night organizing notes and sending them to her home. He heard her playing the piano through the door.
In the mid-term exam, the two tied for first place in their grade. Jiang Yichen's rare smile on the podium was captured by Su Mengyao, which became a hot topic on campus.
The two were assigned to opposing groups in the school debate competition. They were tit-for-tat on the court, but Jiang Yichen helped Su Mengyao improve her arguments off the court.
After the finals of the debate competition, Jiang Yichen sent Su Mengyao home, and passed by the music classroom to impromptu four-handed play. The two had their first ambiguous atmosphere.
