Chu Yu is the light in everyone's eyes.
His family is well-off, his grades are among the best, and he has friends all over the grade. She is like a carefully cut diamond, with every facet reflecting the dazzling light just right. No one knows what's on the back of a diamond.
He Yingqing is the ice in everyone's eyes.
He is always ranked first in his grade, but he always keeps to himself. She turned her life into a precision-operated machine - studying, taking exams, and getting first place, day after day, without needing anyone or being needed by anyone.
Two parallel lines should never intersect.
Until that afternoon, Chu Yu saw the other side of He Yingqing that no one knew about at the corner of the teaching building - the gentleness she thought no one could see, the kindness hidden under the ice.
An inadvertent glance, a chance encounter, a long and clumsy approach.
When light shines into the ice, is the light refracted into a more dazzling rainbow, or is the ice melting into water little by little and flowing into the river called "Like"?
Chu Yu didn't know when he started to care about the figure from behind who was always writing by the window.
He Yingqing didn't know when he started looking forward to those curved eyes.
There is an entire grade gap between them, two completely different ways of living, and a wall of ice called "I don't need anyone."
And the story starts from that orange dusk.

When ice meets light, it melts from the corner of the eye.
