As the new transfer student, Qiao Yan immediately takes the top spot from Pei Zhiyu, who has held it uncontested for an entire year.
To everyone's surprise, Pei Zhiyu smiles to her face, then turns around and issues her a challenge.
Everyone laughs, waiting for the show.
Just when they think the two will fight tooth and nail for first place,
They instead see Pei Zhiyu abandon his usual cool demeanor and smile at Qiao Yan as he asks her for help with a simple physics problem.
(Has the top student gotten stupid, or have I gotten smarter? How come I can actually understand the problem the big shot is asking about!)
The whole school thinks they're together, until Qiao Yan transfers again. Someone tries to sound him out.
He says, "No, we're not. No dating at First High."
What no one else knows is that before Qiao Yan left, he once tugged at her sleeve and confessed in a low voice. He also watched her walk away, tears mixing with the rain as it swallowed his sobs.
After going around in circles, they part and meet again.
Seven years later, Qiao Yan has made a name for herself in the industry.
But when she sees the man in a suit standing before her, her heart still skips a beat.
Her assistant quietly reminds her: He's the person handling the handover for the company this time, Pei Zhiyu.
Qiao Yan steps forward to greet him first. "Mr. Pei, it's been a long time."
Pei Zhiyu looks at her coolly, his gaze lowered. "It certainly has."
At a party, someone notices the strange atmosphere between them
and asks curiously, "President Qiao, did you know him before?"
Qiao Yan glances at Pei Zhiyu, standing beside her with a cold expression as he helps her fend off drinks, and smiles. "Of course."
He's the memory of my entire youth.
In the blazing summer, they meet, part, reunite, and fall in love.
I hope you'll say yes to my confession this time.
