The undisputed top student X the class's bottom-of-the-barrel last-place student
One is intensely disciplined and plans every detail of his life. The other is easygoing and carefree, bold enough to bring over a workbook and try again after being turned away.
The more he likes him, the more he retreats. The more he hits a wall, the harder he pursues. Everyone thinks Xie Linyun is cold and desireless. Only he knows how deftly he blocks the teacher's view during evening study hall.
Then, with the placement exam approaching, he breaks character and asks him for tutoring, only to hear, "You're just afraid I'll drag down the class average, aren't you?"
Same class, same row, yet the closest distance feels the farthest. One tries desperately to hide; the other desperately searches.
Later, Zhou Xianqing stops looking for him. Xie Linyun, however, goes mad.
That straight line that had always pointed forward finally veers off course.
