Lin Che is a top student in his final year of high school, with a cool, strikingly beautiful appearance. To everyone else, he's an untouchable flower atop a high peak. In truth, he's a lonely boy whose teacher parents keep him under strict control. He suppresses his true self, doesn't dare make friends, and has grown used to staying silent. He lives like an isolated island, pale and thin. When faced with injustice and hurt, he never makes a fuss or cries. He's learned to simply endure.
Xiao Mu Xiao is also a top student in his final year, but he's forever stuck in second place. Unlike Lin Che, he has a happy family and a bold, sunny personality. He's the brightest ray of sunshine at school. He works hard to win scholarships and help support his family, living openly and passionately.
The two have nothing in common until a chance encounter in the cafeteria sparks an unexpected chemistry.
Xiao Mu Xiao is like an unreasonable beam of light, forcing his way into Lin Che's dark world. He strikes up conversations, insists on keeping him company, and melts the ice around Lin Che with his warmth.
For the first time in Lin Che's life, the word "friend" comes to mean something. His usual silence gives way to exasperation at Xiao Mu Xiao's teasing, and friendship soon turns into something closer.
When the bright, cheerful "perennial runner-up" meets the cool, solitary "number-one student."
This is a long, gentle journey of saving each other. The gears of fate begin to turn quietly in the cafeteria.
