The sunshine girl who was number one in her grade met a rebellious genius who gave up his recommendation - from old enemy to comrade-in-arms, from school uniform to wedding dress, it was a summit meeting that lasted for three years.
Lin Zhixu's life creed is simple: If someone can get perfect scores, so can I.
It wasn't until the first day of the second-year high school class that she saw the first place on the honor list with the same name - Jiang Ye. The first and second graders were taken by the same person.
The boy was wearing a baggy school uniform, whistling on the rooftop, sleeping in class, and lightly provoking the entire grade with a recruitment poster that said, "It doesn't matter if you come or not, you won't be able to pass me anyway."
He was the only son of a real estate tycoon in Beijing. He could have inherited the family business, but he chose the most difficult path - giving up admission, just to get into the mathematics department of Peking University, which is ranked number one in the country.
He was the most arrogant person she had ever met.
He was also the loneliest person she had ever seen.
From old rivals in monthly exams to comrades in competition, from fighting side by side in the early morning study room to the thirty days and nights of training at Yunmeng Mountain - they talked with transcripts, expressed their opinions with problem-solving ideas, and saw the light in each other's eyes that they had never seen before.
This is the ultimate pull between two academic masters, and it is also the mutual redemption of two seventeen-year-old souls.
"Of all the formulas in my life, the best solution is you."
Reader comments
This is not a simple campus love story.
This is the story of how two seventeen-year-old boys met each other, saw themselves, and ultimately became better versions of themselves during the most important three years of their lives.
Their families are well off, but each of them is lonely in his or her own way.
They have top grades, but each has his own confusion.
At the age when they should immerse themselves in studying most, they learned to look up at the road and each other.
I hope everyone who reads this story can meet the person who makes you want to be a better version of yourself.
