When a math genius meets a girl of color, the most difficult question to prove is "I like you".
Transfer student Lin Xingwan thought that key high schools only had endless test papers and rankings.
Until she became Jiang Chen's deskmate.
The seemingly cold and distant boy who was always ranked first in grade would squat silently when she soiled his sneakers, would listen to her quietly in the studio on rainy nights, would write codes for her paintings, and let the stars flow for her on the screen.
They became partners in an interdisciplinary competition. Mathematics and art unexpectedly collided. While they won the grand prize, they also disrupted each other's heartbeats.
He arranged the piano piece "Stars" for her, and she responded with the painting "Surge".
Ambiguity grows among the pencil shavings in the studio and the notes in the piano room, along with rumors and family pressure.
He is a proud academic master who shoulders the expectations of his family, and she is a gentle island who uses her paintbrush to fight against the world.
From Wutong Road on campus to Tsinghua University in Beijing, from ignorant deskmates to lifelong partners, they used formulas and colors to jointly write the most beautiful proof of first love:
"I like your function. The domain is from the past to the future, and the value range is every resonance of the heartbeat."
