When Lin Ruan, a melodramatic crybaby and “academic underachiever,” meets Jiang Yan, an obsessive top student, a disguised fox runs into a guardian who sees right through her.
He discovers the secret hidden in the error notebook on the rooftop, and from then on, he conceals his awkward crush behind double standards and fierce protectiveness: covering for her lies, fending off her admirers, pretending to bump into her at the library, and putting the wrong label on her strawberry candy.
Walking side by side through an alley on a winter night makes cracks appear in their disguises. At the awards ceremony, a confession in a notebook finally lets two awkward souls be honest with each other.
The shy sweetness of sharing potato chips on a crowded bus, their school uniforms marked with each other’s pen scribbles: ordinary days hold the healing thrill of two hearts choosing each other.
