Chen Xiaoxi (Shen Yue) and Jiang Chen (Hu Yitian) are classmates at Chenxi Secondary School and have been neighbors since kindergarten. Chen Xiaoxi, a cheerful girl who doesn't study much, is expressive about her admiration towards Jiang Chen, a popular student known for his good looks and high grades. However, Jiang Chen is very distant and indifferent towards people because of his father's early death.

Jiang Chen also has feelings for Xiaoxi, but he doesn't show them. He helps her every time she lands in trouble. She is motivated by Lin Jingxiao, who supports her in all her efforts to grab Jiang Chen's attention.

Lu Yang is hospitalized and refuses to meet Jingxiao. Wu Bosong gets injured and has to pull out of the national swimming championship. After an incident where Wu Bosong's grandmother gets lost due to her dementia and her praise for his swimming abilities, he decides to give up on Xiaoxi, leave school, and concentrate on swimming.
