Xing Chen is nicknamed the class's beloved little hamster. She's timid and tends to curl up whenever she gets nervous. Ling An is burly and straightforward, just like a dependable, slightly dim-witted gorilla. When Xing Chen forgets her English homework and summons all her courage to ask the gorilla sitting next to her to borrow his, she expects either some macho teasing or a blunt refusal. To her surprise, Ling An not only lends it to her, but also gives her a warm, goofy smile that says, "No problem, leave it to me." This desperate plea for help is like a pebble dropped into Xing Chen's heart, stirring a vague curiosity and fondness for the big guy. And when Xing Chen, a sketching genius, meets Ling An, who can't even draw a straight line, another curious spark flies. She's patient and meticulous, while he works hard and takes things seriously. The little hamster's careful guidance helps the gorilla overcome his clumsiness, while the gorilla's perseverance encourages the little hamster to be brave. Amid English vocabulary and sketching lines, two hearts that seem worlds apart are quietly drawing closer, sketching out their shared growth and budding feelings.
