Plot
[edit]The series focuses on two classmates at Chenxi Secondary School who have been friends since kindergarten: Chen Xiaoxi (Shen Yue), a bright and cheerful girl who does not do well at school; Jiang Chen (Hu Yitian), an introvert who is popular for his good-looking appearance and high school grades. Xiaoxi has a crush on Jiang Chen, who has been distant and indifferent towards people since his father's early death. Together with their friends — the funny yet dirty-minded Lu Yang, athletic but blunt Lin Jingxiao, and joyful national swimmer Wu Bosong — Xiaoxi and Jiang Chen prepare for their Gaokao, a university entrance examination, during their journey through secondary school and towards adulthood. The more Jiang Chen and Xiaoxi interact, the two eventually end up becoming a couple.
