The cool-on-the-outside, warm-on-the-inside top student Qi Heng, the pursuer, and the proud, feisty young master Lu Yi, the pursued. They were seventeen that year. The two had never known each other, but when their school launched its first Class 0 during their sophomore year of high school, they met, grew close, and even fell in love. The lonely young master Lu Yi was the only one who could melt that iceberg, while the aloof top student Qi Heng threw the young master's chessboard into disarray. Lu Yi was a master of chess, yet he could never beat him. Perhaps we were still young, or perhaps it was too soon, but we could weather defeat. This game was lost.
Theme: Youth is a chapter boys will remember forever. Because they are young, they can withstand trials and failure. There is no game of chess that can be won forever, but there is someone who will be there forever.
