On a rainy day in 2004, 15-year-old Xu Xiaozhi met transfer student Su Wanwan in morning reading class. The girl's clear eyes struck into his heart, and from then on, his youthful thoughts grew wildly in the chalk dust of the classroom. He brought her an umbrella in the rain, but was happy to be beaten by his father; she quietly prompted him to write from memory, and gave her silent dependence on the mountain road in the fog. The gazes on the basketball court, the comments in the exercise book, and the marshmallow-like agreement tightly entangled the youth of the two teenagers.
But life is never just sweet. The ups and downs of Su Wanwan's parents' business hide her unspoken pressure, and Xu Xiaozhi's clumsy protection is wrapped in the sensitivity of a teenager. From school uniforms to suits, from classrooms to the workplace, they have stood side by side over the years and bumped into each other in reality - misunderstandings quietly grow like moss in the rainy season, and choices lie in front of them like forks in the road. The throbbing under the umbrella and the support in the mountains will eventually have to withstand the wind and rain of the adult world.
This is a long-distance race that spans youth and the workplace, with blushes and heartbeats between desks, mutual warmth in the rental house, and passing by each other in the conference room. When the rain falls again, can they still recognize the first light in each other's eyes? Those sweet and sour things hidden in the folds of time will eventually turn into the most touching answers when looking back.
