In their teachers' eyes, Xia Zhe is a prized student with excellent grades and character.
In his classmates' eyes, Xia Zhe is a handsome, kindhearted top student who never hesitates to help others.
In his parents' eyes, Xia Zhe is a good son who won't disrupt either of their new families.
Xia Zhe is endlessly patient with classmates who struggle to understand their lessons. He responds to his teachers' approval with a modest smile and wishes his parents well as they start new families of their own. He is warm and considerate, and no one sees the detachment behind his mask.
Then Xu Dian enters his life, like a gust of hot wind in the height of summer.
Xia Zhe can't resist Xu Dian's puppy-like charm. With a conflicted look, he tries to push away the person constantly pressing against him, only to be clung to even more tightly.
At last, Xia Zhe's sculpted smile slips away, and the ice inside him melts, layer by layer.
On the first day of their relationship, Xia Zhe can only cover Xu Dian's mouth with his palm, helplessly fending off his barrage of kisses. "Can we save the rest for later? I'm really tired of kissing..."
A warm-on-the-outside, cold-on-the-inside, intimacy-averse receiver x a sunny, straightforward baseball-player giver
* A purely fictional slice-of-life story. Both leads are each other's first love.
* The portrayal of baseball in different countries is not researched; it's all made up, and the characters are not based on real people.
* The giver falls in love at first sight. The receiver is wary of intimacy at first.
Premise: Live well.
