Gu Qingci is the untouchable flower of Yishi No. 1 Middle School. His grades are always at the top of the rankings, and his mood is always in arrears. He lives his life like a wall without cracks. Behind the wall lies his parents' mutually respectful marriage, his eight-year-old sister's heart-wrenching question "Brother, why don't you ever smile?" And an old stuffed bear with a hole in its ear.
Jiang Zui is a "problem student" who was transferred to another school. He has a short hair, scars on the corners of his mouth, and is dressed in a sloppy school uniform. Everyone thought he was here to cause trouble, including Lu Qingci—the two had a fight over a misunderstanding the day before school started, and each had bad words. But Jiang Zui was actually the number one academic in the school in science. He transferred to another school because his younger brother suffered from juvenile idiopathic arthritis, and the whole family had to deal with him. He used his smile as armor and said "it doesn't matter" on his lips, but in his heart he knew what he wanted better than anyone else.
After changing seats, the two became tablemates.
Gu Qingci wanted to stay three meters away from him, but Jiang Zui wanted to come closer: "You are pretending to be so tired, aren't you tired?"
Starting from a pass on the basketball court, from the misunderstanding about "judging a book by its appearance" in the cafeteria, from the half-hearted words in the corridor after the blackout night self-study - two people who both hide the past deeply, in the classroom of the third year of high school, in the summer of this small southern town, gradually recognized themselves in each other's eyes.
Shen Hao's hostility, Cao Li's secret love, family changes, the distance between studying in different places... There are too many things between them. But Jiang Zui said: "I want to stay this time." Gu Qingci said: "Then I will take the exam in this city."
On the surface, there is a calm campus life, but inside there is the sound of ice cracking.
It's not that who saved the other, it's that none of them let go of the other.
Concept: The real closeness in youth is when two incomplete people are willing to turn their backs to each other
