Two children from single-parent families looked at each other for the first time at the opening ceremony of junior high school - she used prose to talk about the boy and the sea, and he used data to give a freshman speech.
Chen Yuzhou, a rational "data scientist", believes that everything can be quantified. Lin Qiyu, a "strategic planner" who hates being planned, is most afraid of becoming a number in someone else's table.
From fighting side by side in junior high school to the peak showdown in high school, they spent ten years turning their two-way secret love into a precise calculation. Until Lin Qiyu accidentally discovered the "life plan" Chen Yuzhou made for her - the postgraduate entrance examination time, marriage age, and childbearing window, accurate to the year.
She felt like falling into an ice cave: So I was just his best solution?
After losing contact for six years, they each reached the top. In his junior year, on the stage of the national finals, Chen Yuzhou opened an encrypted folder in front of the audience.
Inside is her ten years of data. The time when we first looked at each other, the coordinates of every chance encounter, the three nights he stood downstairs when she had insomnia during the college entrance examination——
"I have spent ten years calculating countless futures," he said. "A future without you would be extremely risky."
