"You have been playing the role of an ordinary person for so long. What are you trying to hide from?"
"Then you are wearing a perfect shell, what are you peeking at?"
The chirping of cicadas in midsummer wraps up the hustle and bustle of the teaching building, and an undercurrent quietly grows among the desks. Jiyou used his carelessness as a protective color, gathered all his sharpness, and was willing to blend in among the crowd, just to avoid being noticed by anyone; Shihu (gu) carried an impeccable top-grade rawhide bag, with a careful mind, and a calmness that penetrated all illusions in his eyes. Flaws in the classroom test paper, fleeting glances in the corridor, silent confrontations in the online world, Zhou He's heckles and Cheng Qian's laughter in the classroom. Under the smoky daily life, two teenagers carrying secrets test each other and speculate on each other. Across the distance between their classmates, they were dismantling each other's layers of masks, and at the same time, they were leaning toward each other uncontrollably in countless inadvertent moments.
Everyone thought they were just ordinary classmates. Mediocrity is his armor, perfection is his cage. In the noisy campus of high school, Jiyou deliberately plays mediocre, and Shi Hu treats him coldly. In the pull of passing each other again and again, the undercurrent game hidden in the gaps of daily life, in the youth with the noisy cicadas, among the temptations, suspicions, and approaches, a different kind of emotion slowly develops.
It wasn't until the final stage that all the masks peeled off, the horse fell off in both directions, and the famous confession scene suddenly appeared.
"It turns out that I can see through more than just your disguise."
"Jiyou, what I like is the whole and real you."
"I have seen all the parts of you that are hidden. What I like is never the image you show to the world, but the complete and real you."
After taking off the layers of disguise under the school uniform, two souls trapped in their own islands collided with each other. It's a game, a heartbeat, and a belated two-way redemption. The midsummer is long and the youth is hot. All the deliberate hiding will eventually be taken off for one person. The mask will be torn apart in the later period. The two teenagers carrying secrets will complete the confrontation, confession and soul redemption in the chaotic youth.
[You and I don't need to borrow the moonlight from the world, we meet like the Milky Way in midsummer]
[The sea of stars is higher and wider than the sky, the wind chimes are longer and wider than the distance]
Intention: They have tampered with all the rules, just for world peace.
