Synopsis
On the first day of school, Jiang Jin used the word "unfamiliar" to sentence Lin Cheyan to death. She hid her bulky glasses, put away her timid shoulders, and transformed from a shadow that could only peek into the cold and distant academic master she is today. She is recognized by the whole school as the cool academic leader, but she turns on the round-the-clock venomous tongue towards the brilliant monitor and the main player of the basketball team. And Lin Cheyan, the girl who once crushed all her feelings with the word "unfamiliar", is still the most dazzling light in the crowd - high-spirited on the basketball court and putting pen to paper in the art room. She is the always enthusiastic little sun, but she is only addicted to Jiang Jin's indifference - changing seats, pretending to be aggrieved, and doing things step by step, insisting on squeezing into the world where the other party has drawn boundaries. Jiang Jin believed that as long as he kept the distance, he could lock the past into dust. But she didn't expect that Lin Cheyan would take the initiative to change to the seat next to her. "I will be my roommate from now on, please take good care of me." The man smiled openly, but there was a stubbornness that wouldn't give up in his eyes. Jiang Jin responded with a cold face: "We are not familiar with each other." "Then start cooking from now on." Lin Cheyan pushed the milk to the corner of her desk and lowered her voice, "I have plenty of time to wait for you to remove this thorn." There was a collision in the corridor, and not only the glasses were broken, but also the distance that Jiang Jin was guarding so tightly. A long-planned emo disguise loosened not only the cold war, but also Lin Che's successful smile. From "unfamiliar deskmates" to "colleagues under the umbrella", From a venomous "passing by" on the sidelines to standing up for her and confronting the referee in the stands, From "leave me alone" to "does your knee hurt?" I said the harshest words, but gave you all the exceptions. I pretended to be the most aggrieved and well-behaved, just to make you soften your heart for me this time. When the "unfamiliar contract" quietly expires in the bickering day after day, the sweat on the basketball court, the lights in the infirmary, and the whispers after lights out. They discovered: the sweetest candy is hidden in the hardest shell. The closest distance begins with the sentence "We are not familiar with each other". "Jiang Jin, are we familiar with each other?" "Not familiar." "Then why are you only soft-hearted towards me?" "The treaty has long since expired. Lack of familiarity is false, but liking you is true." ——It turns out that the longest road is from "unfamiliar" to "familiar only to you". And this reunion, which started in the cold, will end up in the intersection between the pen tip and the court, waiting for the ice-breaking monsoon. Concept: This is a story about "measuring the true heart by distance". It tells how in youth, we use "hate" to disguise our heartbeat, use "strongness" to protect our vulnerability, but how we put down our pride and expose our weakness for a person. It's about reconstruction after being broken - Lin Cheyan learns to make up for the unintentional mistakes with tenderness, and Jiang Jin learns to allow dependence while staying awake. More about the nature of love: not conquest and compromise, but "I am willing to bend down for you, and you will allow me to straighten my spine."
