This is just an ordinary slice of life at a junior high school.
On the first day of seventh grade, Lin Mo met his cheerful deskmate, Chen You, in the crush of students arriving for the new school year.
From fumbling while picking up their uniforms to dust-covered rags during the classroom cleanup; from the nerves of their first English dictation to the relief after a math quiz; from dashing to the school shop for popsicles during recess to chatting in the shade during PE; from all-consuming exam revision to chalk flowers covering the blackboard for New Year's Day...
One chapter a day, one step at a time. With the scent of fresh textbooks and the sweetness of orange candy, they walk along sunlit corridors and run across a newly laid track.
There are no earth-shattering events, just the little worries and small joys of youth, and ordinary days spent growing up together as deskmates.
If you, too, miss those quiet days at school, you'll find every familiar ordinary morning and evening here.
Theme: Set against the backdrop of three ordinary years of junior high, this story records the innocent, tentative affection between deskmates and their everyday growth. Through details like orange candy, playful antics at recess, and studying together for exams, it recreates the warmth of school life and conveys a soothing, carefree spirit of youth.
