Science Genius High School sophomore (seventh) class monitor X basketball team's dazzling star Science genius player
Lin Shuo, the monitor of Class 7, Grade 2, is a top student who is calm and reliable in the eyes of his teachers, and a master problem solver who is quiet and reserved among his classmates. His world is one of neatly arranged formulas, ticking clocks, and ever-neat notes. Until that summer afternoon, basketball knocked open the back door of the classroom and barged into his life.
Li Chengrui, the dazzling star of the school basketball team. The sweat-soaked jersey, the figure jumping in the sun, and the hearty and somewhat arrogant laughter formed a fiery scene that was completely opposite to Lin Yu's "sense of order." An accidental assignment and a basketball falling into Lin Yu's exercise book became an opportunity for them to meet. Li Chengrui was like a beam of light that was too strong, illuminating Lin Shuo's step-by-step world inexplicably. He would domineeringly take away Lin Shuo's pen during self-study and drag him to the rooftop to watch the sunset; he would make Lin Shuo happy in a clumsy but sincere way when he was troubled by problems; he would accurately cast his eyes on the quiet figure in the crowd on the noisy stadium, showing a smile that only each other could understand.
That summer, the cicadas were chirping noisily, and the air was filled with the smell of grass and sweat. In Lin Shuo's neat notebook, what belongs to "page seven" is no longer complicated formulas, but quietly some insignificant graffiti - the outline of a basketball, a scrawled but warm word "Rui". That was a chapter that he carefully treasured and belonged exclusively to him and Li Chengrui. They held hands quietly under the desks piled with test papers, shared the same bottle of soda in the empty arena, and exchanged vague but hot dreams about the future under the street lights after evening study hall. Li Chengrui said that he wants to protect something as firmly as he protects the basket on the court. Lin Shuo just smiled and quietly buried the words "waiting for you to come back" deep in his heart.
Sweetness rises like sparkling water, but is short-lived like a summer shower. Graduation season is here as scheduled, and Li Chengrui moves towards a broader world with the high spirits of a basketball boy and his vision for the future. He fulfilled his promise to protect, but the object of protection changed from a small basketball court to a more dangerous and secret battlefield - he became an anti-narcotics policeman. The distance lengthened my longing, and worry spread silently in my heart. Lin Shuo is still his most stable island, receiving his brief message of safety and watching over his journey with no return date. The seventh page of that notebook seems to be waiting to be filled with the story of their reunion.
However, the hand of fate is always so cruel. On an ordinary, sultry summer afternoon, what Lin Shuo was waiting for was not a return home, but eternal silence. Li Chengrui's name was finally engraved on the cold stone tablet in a heroic way and disappeared from the border that he guarded with his life. He was like a burning meteor, falling in his most glorious years, leaving the young man he loved with a black hole that could never be filled.
Lin Yu's world suddenly became silent. He opened the dusty notebook and stayed on "page seven". On the page, the unfinished basketball graffiti, the lonely word "Rui", and those memories of the summer that came to an abrupt end, all solidified into the sharpest pain. Li Chengrui's summer, together with the future they wrote together, will always stop at this unfinished page. And Lin Shuo will be trapped in this long summer without Li Chengrui for the rest of his life, ruminating on those unfinished words over and over again, guarding the lonely island called "memory" alone in the noisy world, and the love that will never fade, but will never be complete. Page seven became the grandest and most tragic end of their youth.
Concept: Youth is the unfinished seventh page of summer. A basketball boy writes love poems with a fiery heartbeat, but uses his life to carve the final chapter at the border. When the whispers under the desk turned into silence behind the police badge, the sweetest first love fell into the most painful farewell. He has guarded thousands of lights, leaving only his lonely island to watch for the rest of his long life - it turns out that heroism is never a romantic epic, but the hottest love, condensed into an unfinished summer that no one signs in front of the tombstone.
