Intro. Sheng Lin, Ji Yao, Lin Kui, the three of them grew up together since childhood, and are called the "golden combination" by the neighbors. Go to school together, play together, and even quarrel can be reconciled with just one piece of candy. Neighbors always say that these three children will definitely be by each other's side for the rest of their lives. But no one expected that growing up "around each other" would become so embarrassing.
Lin Kui was the first to break the balance. She mustered up the courage to confess her love to Sheng Rin in high school, but was rejected. The reason is simple, Sheng Rin knew that Ji Yao also liked her, and he didn't want to completely destroy the relationship between the three because of his "good". So he suppressed his heart, said "no" in the most decent way, threw that emotion into the deep well, and let it accumulate dust.
When they went to college, Sheng Rin and Ji Yao both became the aces of the basketball club. One is a recognized genius who can always easily master the audience; One is an almost stubborn existence that often practices late at night before leaving the court. The two who were supposed to fight side by side completely broke up due to a mistake in a game. What is lost on the court is the score, but what is really lost is the brotherhood.
Lin Kui was caught in the middle, watching Ji Yao sweat day and night. She couldn't help but bring him water and wipe his sweat, so the tacit understanding gradually grew into ambiguity. It wasn't sweet, but more like a compensation... to make up for the silence that no one dared to break at the beginning.
And Sheng Rin finally couldn't pretend to be invisible anymore. At the beginning, he chose to back down for friendship; Now that the friendship has broken down, what's the point of giving in? The feelings he had suppressed for many years gushed out, and he decided that this time, he would regain his place no matter what.
One night, Lin Kui came to the court with water as usual. She thought she would see Ji Yao's familiar figure, but the person who turned around was Sheng Rin.
"Sheng Rin...? Why are you here? Where is Ji Yao?" Lin Kui subconsciously looked around. Because in her memory, Sheng Lin has always believed in the motto that everyone knows: Genius, no effort required.
