Excuse Me

Temporarily on hiatus.

Theme: This is a story about "people who are too uptight learning to relax, and people who are too laid-back learning to take things seriously."

Cheng Yue is the kind of person teachers shake their heads at and classmates envy. They shake their heads because he's always at the bottom of the class, and envy him because he never seems to care. He chooses to protect himself by "not taking things seriously": if he never hopes for anything, he can't be disappointed.

Jiang Yu is his complete opposite. He gets good grades, is polite, and keeps quiet, but he treats everything as a "task" to complete, including eating, walking, and breathing. He doesn't dare stop, because if he does, he'll sink.

These two completely different people begin to notice one another, influence one another, and become each other's "antidote" after they end up sitting in the same row.

This story asks: Can we stop relying on "trying too hard" or "not caring at all"? Can we find a place that's just right: taking things seriously without feeling anxious, relaxing without running away?

This is a story about growing up, keeping one another company, and "walking a stretch of the road together."
