Lin Zhi Xia (played by Tian Xi Wei) is a genius girl known for her intelligence but socially awkward demeanor. Since childhood, she rarely interacted with others and focused more on the academic world. Her life begins to change after entering High School No. 1 in her province.

There, Lin Zhi Xia meets Jiang Yu Bai (Hu Yi Tian), a cheerful and charismatic popular student. Their meeting occurs through a problem-solving competition, and eventually, they end up sitting next to each other in class.

As a friendly person, Jiang Yu Bai gradually helps Lin Zhi Xia adapt to her new environment. He introduces her to friends like Tang Ting Ting, Duan Qi Yan, Shen Fu Xuan, and Jin Bai Hui. In an effort to repay his kindness, Lin Zhi Xia helps Jiang Yu Bai study — from this point, their relationship develops, from rivals to supportive friends.

Their togetherness was not only filled with studying together but also exciting adventures typical of school days: helping a friend who was deceived, participating in club activities, and even competing in provincial math competitions. However, behind the laughter and teamwork, deeper feelings began to emerge.

Jiang Yu Bai started to realize that he had fallen in love with Lin Zhi Xia. Unfortunately, he chose to keep those feelings to himself so as not to disturb their friendship. When Lin Zhi Xia was accepted into Fudan University, Jiang Yu Bai planned to express his feelings during their graduation trip.

But fate had other plans. Family issues forced Jiang Yu Bai to leave quietly because his mother was caught up in a fraud case. Lin Zhi Xia also did not know the reason for her friend's departure. Will they be reunited and complete the story that never got a chance to begin?
