"From today on, he is your brother."
On the first day of her second year of high school, Wen Qian's life was split in two - the life of a solitary top student for the first seventeen years, and the future of being forced to share an umbrella, a home, and a heart that was gradually out of control with the transfer student Lu Shi.
When the perfectionism of the top grader meets the randomness of a transfer student, the evenly matched opponents in the debate become "brothers" living in the same room. Wen Qian's notebook is always as neat as printed matter, but Lu Shi's draft paper is filled with drawings of star battleships; one uses caffeine to maintain a precise schedule, and the other is in the kitchen late at night cooking instant noodles and watching football games.
Until Wen Qian found Lu Shi crying over his mother's photo on a rainy night, until Lu Shi bumped into a model student playing rock music on a loop late at night. When the friendship crossed the line between brothers, and when Lu Shi received admission to a prestigious overseas school, Wen Qian wrote in her diary: "I proved a false proposition - we should not have fallen in love."
At the graduation ceremony three years after separation, Wen Qian held up Wen Qian's lost student ID card when the cherry blossoms fell: "According to the hyperbolic function, two infinitely close lines will eventually meet." This time, it was Wen Qian who broke all the rules and completed their belated first kiss in full view of the public.
(This is a story about the youthful growth of two top academics from "fake brothers" to true lovers, including a tacit confrontation in a debate, the philosophy of instant noodles in the late-night kitchen, and a two-way journey across the Pacific)
