Synopsis
On the edge of the bustling city, there is a school called Guiyu No. 1 Middle School. It is the cradle of dreams and the starting point of the story of Qi Kexia and Chi Nanmu. Qi Kexia is like the warm sunshine in spring, and the pear dimples at the corners of her mouth are particularly charming when she smiles. He has a quick mind and is comfortable in the world of mathematics and physics. He is also the ace player of the school badminton team, full of energy and extremely popular. Chi Nanmu is like the first snow in winter, cold on the outside, but hiding endless tenderness in the heart. He has a unique understanding of literature, his writing is smart and beautiful, and his piano skills are superb. His grades are always at the top of his grade, and he is an unreachable academic leader in the eyes of his classmates. In the first grade of high school, the gears of fate turned quietly, and Qi Kexia and Chi Nanmu became roommates. At first, Chi Nanmu's reticence did not deter the enthusiastic Qi Kexia. In a physics experiment class, faced with complicated experimental procedures, Qi Yixia relied on her excellent hands-on ability, and Chi Nanmu relied on her profound theoretical knowledge. The two cooperated tacitly, and the experiment achieved unexpected success, and their relationship became closer. After that, they racked their brains over problems in the library and shared each other's joys, sorrows, and joys on the campus trail. Unknowingly, love takes root in my heart. At the campus cultural festival, Chi Nuan played affectionately in front of the piano, while Qi Kexia sang softly beside her. In the melodious melody, they confirmed their feelings for each other and started a sweet campus romance. The good times did not last long. When I was a sophomore in high school, the school won a precious place recommended to a top university. The conditions were strict. Not only did I have to be first in grade in overall performance, but I also needed to win good results in national subject competitions. Qi Kexia and Chi Nuan both ignited their fighting spirit, and the pressure of studying came like a tide. The two unconsciously competed secretly in their studies, communication gradually became less and less, and conflicts quietly grew. In a mock test, Chi Nuan's score surpassed that of Qi Kexia. Qi Kexia's self-esteem was hit and she began to deliberately alienate Chi Nuan. Misfortunes never come singly. Qi Kexia accidentally sprained her ankle during badminton training, which affected important matches and her mood hit rock bottom. When Chi Nuan was preparing for the game, he performed abnormally due to excessive pressure, and his quota for a walk-on was wiped out. The relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point, and the cold war lasted until the senior year of high school. At the end of the college entrance examination, Qi Kexia performed abnormally due to an unbalanced mentality. Although Chi Nuan performed normally, the two of them had different aspirations. When filling out the application form, Chi Nuan tried to reconcile, but was coldly rejected by Qi Kexia. Qi Kexia felt that the gap with Chi Nanmu was getting bigger and bigger, and her future was confused. She eventually went to an ordinary university far away, and the two completely lost contact. Time flies, and six years have passed in a flash. Qi Kexia gradually cheered up during college, and with unremitting efforts, she made a name for herself in the computer field. After graduation, she entered a well-known company. Chi Nuan worked hard on the literary road and became a well-known young writer. By chance, Qi Kexia saw Chi Nuan as a guest at an industry summit. The familiar face instantly brought back memories of the past, and Qi Kexia's heart trembled suddenly. At the end of the summit, Qi Kexia mustered up the courage to stop Chi Nuan. When Chi Nuan saw him, a complicated emotion flashed in her eyes. Qi Kexia couldn't help but ask Chi Nuan why she was so decisive back then. Chi Nuan's eyes filled with tears and she told all the threats made by Qi Kexia's mother back then. Qi Kexia was shocked, angry, distressed and regretful. The misunderstanding was resolved, and the two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge the six years of missing each other into this hug. They returned to Yuying High School and strolled through the once familiar campus. The classroom still seems to be echoing with their voices discussing problems; the playground seems to still have traces of them walking side by side. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, lengthening their shadows. They decided to start over. In the days to come, no matter what the wind and rain, they would never be separated again and go through every spring, summer, autumn and winter hand in hand. Intent: Growth and self-transcendence, true love withstanding the test, collision and reconciliation between family and personal pursuits
