Synopsis
The senior year of high school is originally a sprint stage filled with exercises and dreams in youth. For Mu Yu and Jiang Yanhao, they each have their own confusions and struggles. Mu Yu is an e-sports player with unlimited potential in the virtual battlefield. He has sharp operations and flexible tactics, and can lead the team to charge on the field. But when he returns to the real school, he is a "problem student" who is not doing his job properly in the eyes of his teachers. He is always criticized by name at parent-teacher meetings. The recognition of his gaming talent is deeply buried under the traditional education concept. He can only train every minute and every second after school, and he is under the pressure that is difficult to balance between his studies and his e-sports dream. Jiang Yanhao, the top student in his grade, is regarded as a role model by teachers and "other people's children" by his parents. His life is tightly bound by family rules and grades. In addition to a large amount of homework every day, he also has to complete competition questions and recite vocabulary. His excellence is step-by-step, but he also loses himself in invisible expectations, and his inner desire for freedom and love has been suppressed for a long time. By chance, the two met on the rooftop of the school. At that time, Mu Yu was upset because of her failure in training and hid on the rooftop to smoke and relieve herself; Jiang Yanhao wanted to find a moment of peace on the rooftop to escape the heavy study workload and family pressure. At first, they were like people from two worlds. One was a "bad student" in the eyes of the teacher, and the other was a standard "top student." They were full of defense and curiosity about each other. However, when they started talking, they were shocked to realize that the other person was just as overwhelmed by reality as themselves. Mu Yu shared the passion and frustration of e-sports competitions, and Jiang Yanhao confided in the exhaustion and confusion of academic competition. Two lonely hearts slowly came closer under the evening breeze and sunset. They comforted and encouraged each other, and together they found a moment of respite on the rooftop. Since then, the rooftop has become their secret base. There, they shared orange-flavored hard candies, exchanged each other's stories and thoughts, and gradually discovered the shining points in each other. Jiang Yanhao was moved by Mu Yu's love and dedication to e-sports, while Mu Yu envied Jiang Yanhao's self-discipline and determination. They influence each other, and Jiang Yanhao begins to try to break the shackles of family rules and find a life that truly belongs to him; with the help of Jiang Yanhao, Mu Yu also works hard to balance studies and e-sports, and no longer blindly escapes. In this senior year of high school, which is full of pressure and challenges, their relationship quietly heats up. From the initial understanding of each other, they gradually become dependent on each other. Together, they faced misunderstandings from their teachers and opposition from their parents. Under the double test of college entrance examinations and e-sports competitions, they moved forward hand in hand, running with all their strength towards their dreams, writing their own stories with youth and passion, and in each other's company, they found their true selves and their future direction.
