In his freshman year of high school, Su Heng was the worst boy in the school.
He smokes, fights, skips classes, and is covered in thorns. Even the teacher doesn't bother to look at him.
Until one afternoon, he saw Gong Qingxiao on the tree-lined avenue.
She held the book and walked quietly through the sunshine, like a beam of light that was so clean that it was unreal.
After that glance, Su Heng's life began to drift out of control in another direction.
He quit smoking, cut off his friends, started picking up textbooks little by little, and climbed up from the bottom of the class, from being a bad student that everyone despised, to slowly being admitted to the experimental class.
Everyone thought he just woke up suddenly.
Only he knows that he doesn't want to win.
He just wanted to be closer to her.
I want to be able to stand upright in front of her one day and say without any embarrassment:
"Hello, my name is Su Heng, can we get to know each other."
But when he was finally about to catch up with that beam of light, the rumors about his past, the bad debts left by his father, and the pitiful and piercing looks of others dragged him back into the mud again.
What he fears most is not being looked down upon.
She also heard those unbearable things.
This is a secret love that started in mid-summer and lasted for many years.
It is also a story about a young man who desperately pulls himself out of the abyss just to get closer to someone.
