Jiang Che, who was once the proud son of a provincial key high school, came to an ordinary second-tier college due to an unexpected failure in the college entrance examination.
He rented a small house outside the school. Apart from attending classes every day, he would stay in his own little world, write and draw, and deliberately isolate himself from the hustle and bustle around him.
Until that evening, a heavy rain suddenly fell, and he saw the neighbor's newly moved elementary school girl squatting under the eaves, hugging her knees, shivering from the thunder.
Her name is Xu Nian, a freshman in the art department of his school. She is as beautiful as a Liuli doll, but as fragile as Liuli.
Because of a kind "take-in", two lonely souls began to intersect.
Jiang Che discovered that this school girl was afraid of too many things: afraid of thunder, afraid of darkness, afraid of crowded places, and even afraid of the sound of the delivery boy knocking on the door...
His heart, which had been silent for a long time, was unknowingly stirred by this cowardly school girl.
He began to step out of his shell and learn to take care of another person:
He would knock on her door on a thunderstorm night, hand her a glass of hot milk, and say awkwardly: "Drink it, and you won't be afraid anymore."
He would accompany her to the crowded cafeteria, ward off the crowds for her, and prepare her favorite meals.
When she was unable to complete group assignments due to social anxiety, he would silently shoulder everything and only say: "Just draw and leave the rest to me."
A friend asked him: "Jiang Che, are you trapped? Is it worth doing so much for a school girl?"
Jiang Che looked at the girl in the distance who was carefully feeding the stray cat and smiled lightly.
Intent: A funny and heart-warming youth story about self-reconciliation, healing and growth.
