On the first day Ren Wanyuan went to Jingde Middle School, she heard Chen Yanci's name - aloof, unapproachable, with a group of fans protecting him, and the table had been empty for almost a year.
But when she accidentally became that "special deskmate", she discovered something beyond the rumors: he would take basic math problems and ask her in a low voice, "How do I solve this?", Would silently rescue her when she was in trouble, and would even quietly put orange candies on the corner of her desk.
Ren Wan gradually got used to the gentleness behind this cold face, but she didn't realize that behind every "no" question and every plain concern, there were secrets she didn't know about. When the mask is gently lifted, the approach that started with "asking for advice" has already been quietly stained with traces of heartbeat.
