In an ordinary town called Jiangcheng by the Yangtze River, the life of Zhang Xiaobei, a sophomore in high school, was originally like a test paper filled with standard answers - until Lin Yuan, a transfer student from the provincial capital, appeared. From the inadvertent look back during recess to the accidental touch of fingertips while sharing umbrellas in the rain, the two teenagers carefully explored the special light in each other's eyes between the pressure of the college entrance examination and the excitement of youth.
However, the eyes of the small town cannot tolerate "difference". Rumors spread silently like the tide on the river bank, causing shock to the family and pressure from the school. They were forced to separate, one stayed in Jiangcheng, and the other returned to the provincial capital. Only the brief words in the encrypted application and the cheap red string of the same style on their wrists were left, maintaining the fragile but tough connection hundreds of kilometers away.
This is a silent battle. They suppressed their turbulent emotions into handwriting on the pages of the book, tempered their longings into scores on exam papers, and fought for a common future on their respective lonely battlefields. The secret rush of the green train, the hard writing in the college entrance examination examination room, finally exchanged for the admission notice of the university in the same city.
Many years later, under the sunshine of a Beijing library, they were young scholars walking side by side. Those turbulent youth finally settled into a calm and deep river, carrying them towards the broader morning light.
