Synopsis
On the first day of the senior year of high school, Xu Yan, as a transfer student, was arranged by his class teacher to sit next to He Ting. When the two met for the first time and their eyes met, they were both momentarily absent-minded. - As the class monitor, He Ting introduced the class rules to Xu Yan and found that he was talented in mathematics but poor in Chinese. Xu Yan was surprised by the brilliance in this seemingly quiet girl's eyes when she talked about literature. - It rained suddenly when school was over. Xu Yan gave up his umbrella to He Ting and ran home in the rain. He had a high fever that night. - He Ting learned that Xu Yan was sick, so she went to his house after school for three consecutive days to make up lessons and cook porridge to take care of him. As they got along, the two discovered that they had more in common with each other. - The scandal between the two began to spread in the class. He Ting's best friend Lin Xiao publicly teased them, causing He Ting to deliberately keep a distance from Xu Yan. - Xu Yan's father, Xu Jianjun, accidentally saw He Ting's photo on his son's cell phone and sternly warned him not to be distracted in his senior year of high school, laying the groundwork for family conflicts. - The results of the monthly exam were announced. He Ting ranked first in the Chinese language class but failed in mathematics. Xu Yan scored full marks in mathematics but zero in composition. The class teacher suggested that the two of them provide complementary tutoring. - Xu Yan made a math study plan for He Ting, and He Ting took Xu Yan to read literary works. The two of them had a secret love for each other as they spent time together in the library. - After the class party on Christmas Eve, Xu Yan sent He Ting home.

The two hugged each other and cried outside the ward. - Xu Yan was absent from school for two weeks to take care of his father, and his grades declined.
