Features: Some write their youth on their faces, some on the ground, some on the water, while we write our youth on the back of paper. Wang Tianyu is an ordinary high school student in a small town. Despite his calm and aloof exterior, his heart burns like fire. The beautiful and charming Lin Jingwen is infatuated with him, but Wang Tianyu, though aware of her feelings, dares not accept them. Li Shaohui is a wealthy, lively, and beautiful girl. Wang Tianyu's accidental act of heroism saves her, which unexpectedly leads to a "deep connection" between them.
Just before the college entrance exams, Wang Tianyu's mother, whom he hadn't seen in ten years, suddenly returns and reunites with him, triggering painful memories and deep doubts about his origins. Overwhelmed and helpless, he abandons everything and travels south alone to Shenzhen in search of the unforgettable memories from four years ago.
Liu Xing and Bai Yiding are academic rivals, even once mistaking each other for rivals in love. At Li Shaohui's birthday banquet, Liu Xing and Wang Tianyu scheme to get Bai Yiding drunk, but the outcome is hilarious. Their rivalry intensifies over the spot for an admission recommendation. A stolen simulation exam paper leads to a falling out. When the truth comes to light, they deeply regret their actions and finally reconcile, working together on their thesis "Challenging Evolution," which causes a sensation both inside and outside the school. Unfortunately, the "shrewd and cunning" Principal Mei suppresses it.
The entire novel is an ode to youth, friendship, family, and love. As readers immerse themselves in the story, they experience the joys and sorrows, loves, and hatreds, and witness a vibrant, colorful life together.
