In her sophomore year of high school, the transfer student prayed like a cold wind, blowing into Gu Shiyi's confused youth.
He is the academic top student who is firmly ranked first in his grade, cold and aloof, with a distant look in his eyes that avoids strangers; she is a low-achieving student, careless, but always likes to provoke this "ice" that cannot be warmed. The distance between the desks has become their biggest gap. The Iron Triangle gradually turned into four people, and there was also an unknown secret when praying...
In the chaos of her senior year of high school, Qi Shi, who had always been alone, took the initiative to push her notes in front of her. His voice was cold but with a determination that could not be refused: "No, just ask me." Under the dim light, his focused profile during the lecture became the only light in her gloomy time preparing for the exam. They secretly agreed that when they were admitted to the same good university, they would tell each other their unspoken feelings.
But fate likes to play tricks. She prayed to get into a top school as she wished, but Gu Shiyi failed at the admission line. The piece of draft paper filled with promises was blown away by the wind amid the chirping of cicadas in midsummer.
Thousands of miles apart and the chasm of reality, the once walking side by side has turned into looking at each other from afar. He is a proud man with a bright future; she is struggling in the quagmire of repeating her studies and suffers from low self-esteem.
Can this love that started in school uniforms overcome the worldly gap? Can that promise about the future still wait until the day it is fulfilled?
