Synopsis
Bei Chi, the top Alpha, transferred to Linjiang High School. As soon as he entered the class, he attracted attention with his flamboyant personality. He accidentally noticed Lin Yubai, the top grade Omega and the cool class leader. For the first time, he tentatively hooked the other person's trousers, took the initiative to chat, and handed out an orange hard candy. A series of actions broke the peace of the campus. The vague childhood memories made Bei Chi certain that the person in front of him was the boy he had been looking for for ten years. The memory goes back to his childhood in the alleys of Nancheng. When he was a child, Beichi was the only light in the lonely and gray life of Lin Yubai. He fed him orange candies day after day, promising never to leave him behind. But a forced move completely separated their lives. Suffering from the threats of his powerful parents, the eight-year-old Beichi could only deliberately play the villain. On a rainy night, he publicly crushed the peace knot that Lin Yubai had weaved late at night. Bei Chi hid his troubles and planned to make up for his mistakes when he grew up, but he didn't know that this ruthlessness would become a scar that would stay deep in Lin Yubai's heart for a lifetime. Lin Yubai, who was abandoned by his adoptive family, fell into a low point in life. A few years later, his biological parents unexpectedly died of their only son, so they found him as a substitute to fill the vacancy. The indifference and contrast of his native family made him completely believe that he was born redundant. Two severe traumas destroyed his heart. In the past ten years, he relied on extreme restraint to close himself off and live up to an impeccable top student in the eyes of outsiders. Reunited after ten years, Beichi brought the young Tang Tang into Lin Yubai's stable life and forcibly opened up the layers of old scars. Throughout the morning class, the two faced each other across several rows of seats. Bei Chi was keenly aware of the collapse and stiffness under the calm appearance of the other party, and was filled with guilt and wanted to explain and make amends; while Lin Yubai was swept away by the dust-covered memory of the rainy night and the despair of his substitute life experience. He remained calm on the outside, but was already devastated on the inside. He made up his mind to be completely alienated and refused to get close to him. What was once a beam of light turned into a sharp blade for the second time. Between the desks, two teenagers who had carried ten years of regrets and pain began a silent and torturous pull. Intent: The two-way pull of life under dislocation and regret. A forced fake breakup at a young age created a completely different decade for two people. One party is obsessed with searching for someone, and the other is closing his heart with two devastating traumas, explaining the long-term regrets caused by language barriers and information isolation. Misunderstandings often push each other to completely opposite life trajectories.
