At the beginning of his second year of high school, Shen Xu transferred to Yuxiu Middle School and was assigned to sit at the same table as Lin Wantang.
Two people who seemed to have nothing in common slowly entered each other's world because of a piece of music sheet blown down by the wind, a piece of music hidden in the headphones, and an unknown insomnia. Lin Wantang discovered that this taciturn transfer student had extremely long fingers. What he drew on the draft paper was not mathematical formulas, but staffs. Shen Xu discovered that this girl who was always smiling would stare out the window for a long time when no one was paying attention.
The way they exchange secrets is awkward—he puts her name into an improvised tune, and she interprets his silence as an acceptance that requires no explanation. He didn't say nice things, but he would cover her with his coat when she fell asleep on the table. She didn't ask him why he changed schools, but she would help him fill his glass with warm water between classes.
Feelings are like spring vines, quietly climbing up the walls of two people's hearts.
But in the second semester of his sophomore year in high school, a video of Shen Xu's piano competition was exposed on a campus forum. The whole school knew that he was the "piano genius" and rumors spread. Some people are envious, some are jealous, and some are sarcastic. Lin Wantang realized for the first time that his world was much farther away than she imagined.
The pressure of senior year comes one after another. Shen Xu's mother pressured him to participate in early admissions to the conservatory of music, Lin Wantang's father broke his leg and was hospitalized, and her grades began to decline. There are too many words that cannot be said between them - he has his own inability to control himself, and she has her own inferiority and cowardice.
Misunderstanding spreads silently like a crack.
