Shen Zhiyi is a good girl in the eyes of everyone. She has excellent grades, is quiet and introverted, and lives in the orbit carefully planned by her mother - until she secretly falls in love with the sunny and cheerful basketball captain Gu Yubai.
She hid the notes he gave her every day and touched the warmth of his handwriting late at night; she pretended to read the questions when he was playing basketball, but she chased his figure with her peripheral vision; she even secretly embroidered a star on his basketball jersey, like a confession that no one knew.
But the mother's control followed her everywhere: raiding schoolbags, confiscating mobile phones, intercepting love letters, and even humiliating Gu Yubai in public, saying "Don't delay my daughter." As her mother cried, "How can you live without me?" Shen Zhiyi tremblingly rejected the only boy who made her heart beat faster.
Until she found a letter among her father's belongings - it turned out that her father had been forced by her grandmother to give up his music dream, and before his death he only wrote "Let Xiao Yi be free". On the eve of the college entrance examination, Shen Zhiyi finally tore off the college entrance examination countdown card made by his mother and read the article "Bound Wings" in front of the whole school. Gu Yubai was still standing at the door of the classroom where they first met, holding every note she had hidden in the past three years, and asked softly: "Now, can you accept my star?"
Purpose: This is a growth story about breaking free from shackles, and it is also the heartbeat and pain that all secret admirers understand - when we secretly love someone, we hide not only the name, but also the whole self that longs to be seen.
