At Qingyan High School, Su Zhihe, a girl who skipped a grade, meets her quiet, guarded deskmate, Lu Xingci.
Sharing a rental and sitting together in class day after day, they grow closer, and their secrets become harder to hide. Lu Xingci gradually learns how lonely Su Zhihe's living situation is, and is even more shocked to discover the dark truth of her childhood kidnapping. He realizes that behind her seemingly gentle, peaceful exterior lies a life even more painful and difficult than his own.
Quiet and guarded, the aloof, taciturn Lu Xingci has endured years of school bullying, rejection, and humiliation. He swallows his pain and hides his many wounds, believing himself to be the loneliest person in the world. He has shut his heart away and no longer believes anyone can be sincere.
As fate quietly shifts, the two become more than classmates and companions. Though they share a home and spend every day together, at first they are strangers to one another, each quietly living their own life.
One day after school, Su Zhihe comes across Lu Xingci being bullied and cornered in an alley. She bravely steps in to help him, then gently and carefully tends to his wounds, like a glimmer of light entering his dark, forgotten world.
As the past falls into place and his memories return, he suddenly remembers: years ago, when he was poor and helpless, young Su Zhihe saved him.
It turns out that a kindness from youth is repaid in this life;
being deskmates is fate, and sharing a home is destiny.
Two lonely souls, both raised with wounds all over, live side by side, separated by a wall and sharing a room. They see through each other's facades and ache for the pain the other keeps inside.
She once saved him when they were young; now he protects her through her youth. Her gentleness heals his wounds from school, while his devotion shields her from the shadows of her childhood.
From unfamiliar deskmates to close roommates, and finally each other's one and only salvation, they find warmth in one another and tenderness in their wounds, healing each other and staying together through their innocent youth.
This work is about love in youth, including secret love, lovelorn love, and friendship in youth. The shadows of childhood, love, family affection, and friendship will all be a part of our lives, and they are indispensable. The ups and downs in life are all the path we take. Everyone is unique, and everyone blooms in their own life. The road is walked by yourself, not someone else walks for you. This is my official first work. If it's not well written, don't scold me.
