Copywriting:
Two seemingly unrelated people collided violently on the day they were assigned to classes, and their fates have been tightly linked ever since.
In the eyes of teachers, Xia Zhiyuan and Lin Miao are the top students in their grade group who take turns taking first place;
In the eyes of his classmates, Xia Zhiyuan is an iceberg who lives alone and keeps away from strangers, while Lin Miao is a pistachio who brings laughter wherever he goes.
But no one knows that these two glamorous academics are actually "children" that no one wants.
Xia Zhiyuan is a left-behind girl who was "surplused" by her parents. After her grandmother passed away, she lived like an isolated island, thinking that as long as she didn't look forward to it, she would not be abandoned;
Lin Miao was a weed who grew up amid domestic violence and escape. She tried her best to please the world with her passion, thinking that as long as she was sensible enough, she could get a stable home.
It seemed that they were supposed to be people from two different worlds.
Only they themselves know how "difficult" this deskmate relationship is to maintain.
Lin Miao always felt that Xia Zhiyuan hated him - because no matter how she tried to get close to him, Xia Zhiyuan always had a cold look, and even accepted kindness clearly, as if he was eager to draw a clear line with her.
Xia Zhiyuan felt that Lin Miao treated everyone the same - she was so kind and enthusiastic to everyone, and he was just one of her many "please" targets.
Lin Miao tried his best to express his kindness in exchange for a little special treatment;
Xia Zhiyuan tried his best to control his heartbeat, fearing that once he crossed the line, he would not be able to complete the table.
Until one day, Lin Miao smiled and said to others the words "I like you" that she often said.
Xia Zhiyuan suddenly realized that he had never received that seemingly casual love.
——What she thought was "dislike" was actually the most clumsy temptation of two cowards in their respective safe zones.
