At the end of summer when cicadas were chirping noisily, Class 2 (Grade 3) of Nancheng No. 1 Middle School ushered in a new semester. Shen Muyan, the school hunk with an ever-bright smile, and Jiang Yifeng, the solitary top student with cold eyebrows, became roommates.
At first, this was regarded by everyone as an unexpected collision of "ice and fire". No one expected that this would become the beginning of an unspoken story.
Shen Muyan discovered that his new deskmate was not as inaccessible as it seemed. The hands that write and calculate will gently put on his coat when he falls asleep; those cold eyes staring at the textbook will quietly follow him when he runs on the court. Jiang Yifeng was confused as to why he couldn't refuse the warmth brought by the person beside him. An extra drink bought "conveniently", a private melody shared through headphones, physical touches that "crossed the line" again and again... Were all quietly melting the ice around him.
[Under the sun, the tacit and ambiguous game] The "38th parallel" disappears between the desks, the natural shoulder-to-shoulder hugs in the corridor, the snacks and silence shared on the rooftop, the inexplicable cute graffiti on the notebook... The evidence of heartbeat is hidden in every daily detail. There is no need to say it, but it has already spread to disaster. They thought it was well hidden, but they didn't know - "The whole class is taking our CP." Chen Shuo said.
[Behind the moonlight, a silent redemption running in both directions] However, the smile under the sun is not everything in life. Family pressure, scars from the past, confusion about the future... Also plague them who seem to be perfect. When the colors in Shen Muyan's paintings become darker, and when Jiang Yifeng's eyes behind the camera become more and more silent, each other's existence becomes a glimmer of light shining into the other's world. He understands his disguise, and he understands his loneliness. They guard each other's vulnerability in a tacit understanding and become each other's most solid support.
This is a story about [Youth], [Secret Love] and [Redemption]. There is no ups and downs of the bloody plot, only the buzzing sound of the electric fan in the summer classroom, the thud of the basketball falling to the ground, the rustle of the brush rubbing against the paper, and the deafening heartbeats between the two that are not spoken.
See how the cool student is "melted" step by step by the little sunshine school boy, and see how the sunshine school boy is "captured" by the quiet school boy day by day. Follow their stories, return to that summer, and feel the unforgettable confusion, ambiguity and throbbing.
"Jiang Yifeng, do you see me in your peripheral vision?" "Shen Muyan, why is your smile so different only for me?"
The answer is hidden in the third row of the fourth group in the second (third) class of Nancheng No. 1 Middle School, the seat where the sun always shines just right.
Intent: In the loneliness and confusion of youth, the quiet approach and illumination of two hearts are enough to become each other's most gentle salvation, and give them the strength to face themselves and the future bravely.
