Due to her father's job transfer, Bai Ling transferred from the northern city to the No. 1 High School in City A when she entered high school. In a strange environment, she met Gu Xuanqi, a tall, cold-blooded girl with short hair and excellent grades, who was also a transfer student. The two became "top of each other" neighbors in the dormitory. From strangers to familiarity, they gradually got closer during countless lights-out nights.
In the second grade of high school, Bai Ling was forced by her parents to choose liberal arts, while Gu Xuanqi entered the science class. Their classes and dormitories were separated, and the clingy classmate Joyi appeared next to Gu Xuanqi. Under the high pressure of her parents and the threat of Joyi, Bai Ling suffered internally. The night after the final exam, the two met on the empty balcony at the end of the corridor on the fifth floor. They were listening to music on the same pair of headphones. Gu Xuanqi kissed Bai Ling's pear dimple for the first time.
During the winter vacation of her senior year of high school, Bai Ling took Gu Xuanqi back to her hometown in City C. When she met a male classmate who had pursued Bai Ling in junior high school, Gu Xuanqi showed jealousy for the first time. After the college entrance examination, Bai Ling's parents threatened to divorce her if she didn't change her mind. Bai Ling was forced to give up her plan to go to the capital with Gu Xuanqi and stay in City C to study accounting. She did not tell Gu Xuanqi the truth, only said "she changed her mind".
During college, Bai Ling used her work-study money to buy a smartphone, and saw Joyi in Gu Xuanqi's dormitory during a video call with Gu Xuanqi. Joey showed off to Bai Ling, showing off her family background and relationship with the Gu family. Bai Ling felt that she was not good enough for Gu Xuanqi, and her heart gradually drifted away. She sat in a hard seat for 19 hours during the summer vacation to visit Gu Xuanqi in the capital. After a brief sweet moment, Gu Xuanqi was threatened by her father to "make Bai Ling unable to stay in C City" and was forced to study abroad with Joy Yi. Bai Ling said "congratulations" with a smile, but her heart was completely broken.
Shortly after Gu Xuanqi went abroad, Bai Ling, under the dual pressure of her mother and Joy Yi, chose to leave without saying goodbye and disappeared alone for six years. She went to a small southern town to work as an accountant, learn singing and painting, and live a different life.
Six years later, Bai Ling returned to City A and worked in a coffee shop...
