Synopsis

In their second year of high school, students are divided into science and liberal arts classes. Lan Jinghui, who ranks at the bottom of the grade, becomes desk mates with Ling Dong, who ranks first. Lan's father tells Lan Jinghui that Ling Dong is his second maternal uncle.

The two, with vastly different personalities and interests, want to get rid of each other as soon as possible. However, things don't go as planned. Under the earnest request of Lan's father and the class teacher, Fang Hai, Ling Dong reluctantly starts a plan to reform his disobedient nephew. The quiet and unnoticed classmate, Xiao Xiaohua, also gets unintentionally involved between the two.

Eventually, the three form a small study group, striving for honor for their class in the school sports meet, performing together at the arts festival, and more. These events solidify their friendship. As they enter their senior year, they clarify their goals. Lan Jinghui no longer rebels due to a lack of love and is willing to face his academic problems and reconcile with his mother.

Ling Dong lets go of his tough exterior, which he used as self-protection, and opens up, facing his vulnerabilities. Xiao Xiaohua breaks free from parental control, bravely pursues her dream of painting, and embarks on the journey of art exams. Together, they become more determined in their dreams, enter the college entrance examination room hand in hand, and fulfill their promise to attend the same university.
