On the Wutong Road of Yijian University, there is always a figure carrying a sword box. There was never a real sword in Su Yanbai's sword case, only a bamboo sword covered with tape - the mark left when he used it to protect Gu Ye, a young man who was being made trouble by a stall owner, at the used book market ten years ago.
Now Gu Ye has become the "thorn in the side" of the computer department. During the kendo club freshmen competition, he was furious at the contempt of the retired senior of the provincial team. When Su Yanbai untied the sword case, the soft sound of the bamboo sword rubbing against the air was very much like the sound of the half piece of melted toffee paper Gu Ye quietly pushed into him at the used book market.
In Professor Zhang's old photo album, at the sword dojo in 1987, there was a girl wearing a red ribbon who used a broken sword to complete the final blow. When Su Yanbai discovered that Gu Ye secretly applied anti-slip powder to his opponent's sword on the eve of the final, he suddenly understood: The so-called chivalry is not about how sharp the sword is, but the gentleness of being willing to pave a stepping stone for others even though there are thorns in the road ahead.
