On the first day of the first year of high school, Gu Yan, the top scorer in the high school entrance examination, met Lin Xu, who was addicted to physics competition questions, under the cherry tree. He was pale and cold, like an ink painting that was far away from others.
When the two become roommates, Gu Yan discovers that this seemingly indifferent academic has a shocking secret: hypoglycemia, mango allergy, and spending long nights alone in an empty home studying competition questions. In an accident, Gu Yan mistakenly fed Lin Xu mango candy, causing him to be severely allergic and sent him to the hospital. During the early morning vigil in the ward, Gu Yan saw clearly the red rash spreading on Lin Xu's fragile neck and his own uncontrollable heartbeat.
"What is the reward for first place in the competition?"
"It's you."
From competing competitors to a tacit understanding of competition partners, Gu Yan uses boxes of special mango-free desserts to gradually melt the high wall built by Lin Xu. But when Gu Yan's stern father discovered that his son was getting closer to "the kid who took second place in the overall exam", and when Lin Xu accidentally overheard the misunderstanding conversation that "he is just a stepping stone for me to win the championship", the carefully built trust collapsed in an instant——
At the subject competition finals, Lin Xu put down his pen and handed in his paper early; at the graduation ceremony, Gu Yan took the microphone in front of all the teachers and students of the school: "On the first day of the first year of high school, I carried you to the infirmary not because of kindness, but because I fell in love at first sight."
