Lu Ran is the school's most notorious underachiever, while Su Yao is always at the top of the class.
When they get lost during an unexpected mishap, she leads everyone to safety, while he gets trapped by his feelings for her.
He awkwardly tries to win her over, bringing her snacks and quietly cheering her on, but all he gets in return is confusion and avoidance.
Until one day in the library, he pins the delinquent boys who were harassing her against a bookshelf and says coldly, “Who gave you permission to touch her?”
At that moment, Su Yao suddenly thinks that maybe this “bad student” isn't so bad after all.
But when her parents ask coldly, “With grades like yours, what makes you think you can be with my daughter?”
Lu Ran looks into Su Yao's tearful eyes, feeling helpless and indignant for the first time.
In the final semester of their senior year, Lu Ran's name appears on the top hundred list for the first time.
At the graduation ceremony, holding a trophy and his university admission letter, he says in front of the entire school:
“Su Yao, look. At last, I can stand by your side.”
Down below, Su Yao smiles and raises her own admission letter.
“I was waiting for you to walk beside me.”
It turns out the best kind of love helps us become better versions of ourselves.
