On the rooftop of the Provincial Experimental Middle School, Jiang Hanyi was folding his failed physics papers into paper airplanes. The seventeen-year-old wind lifted the sketch paper on Shen Qinglin's drawing board, and the sketch of the back of a basketball boy fell right next to his canvas shoes. Destiny pressed the shutter at this moment, and four teenagers were framed into the same youth film.
In the dome classroom of the high school, Gao Deming, the top student in science, is always deducing the formula of the universe on scratch paper, and Shen Qinglin, the top student in liberal arts, is always printed as a model essay for the whole grade. When Jiang Hanyi, the ace of the school basketball team, was caught climbing over the wall for the third time, he happened upon Qin Guangzhi, a music student, hiding behind the wall to practice new music. They once sneaked to the rooftop to watch the meteor shower during evening self-study, clinking glasses of iced Coke and promising to "never forget each other as long as we are rich and powerful"; they also crowded in the 24-hour convenience store to write their summer homework, and argued late into the night over derivative questions and their thoughts on reading "One Hundred Years of Solitude".
When the countdown to the college entrance examination reaches single digits, secrets begin to grow under the desks. Jiang Hanyi discovered that Shen Qinglin always "happened" to pass by the corridor during basketball games. Shen Qinglin's wrong question book contained a silhouette of someone shooting a three-pointer. The back of the manuscript of Qin Guangzhi's original song is filled with strange metaphors Gao Deming taught her to solve problems. Until the heavy rain on the day of the graduation ceremony, someone got their umbrellas mixed up and someone got their confession wet.
During the four years of studying in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Jiang Hanyi would always receive postcards from the Academy of Fine Arts in Paris when he interned at an investment bank until three in the morning; Qin Guangzhi's independent band gave its first special performance, and an aerospace engineer in a white coat sat in the audience. At the class reunion ten years later, Jiang Hanyi, who had become a financial elite, opened the box door and saw Shen Qinglin sitting in front of the piano for a sound check. She still tied her long hair into a bun with a pencil like she did in high school, but the same platinum ring as his was shining on her ring finger.
This is a story about four teenagers who light up each other. When the countdown on the back wall of the classroom finally reaches zero, they run towards the vast life with each other's imprint, and at a certain moment they discover that the starlight they saw together when they were young has already written the gentlest foreshadowing for the rest of their lives.
