"Teenage You Film Introduction:
Chen Nian (Zhou Dongyu) is a senior who is about to take the college entrance exam, and her life is thrown into turmoil by the suicide of Hu Xiao (Zhang Yifan), a girl from the same school who jumped off a building. After Hu Xiaodie's death, Chen Nian is bullied by a trio led by Wei Lai (Zhou Yuya). Although Wei Lai seems to be a well-behaved honor student on the surface, she is in fact venomous, and Hu Xiaodie's death is inextricably linked to her. In a chance encounter, Chen Nian meets a punk named Xiao Bei (played by Yi Yi Qian Xi), and as time goes by, real feelings arise between the two men who share the same heart. Xiao Bei promised Chen Nian to protect her from Wei Lai's bullying in secret, not realizing that this decision triggered a chain reaction. Zheng Yi (Yin Fang), a police officer in charge of investigating Hu Xiaodie's death, has a vague feeling that there is something strange going on in the campus, but his investigation is repeatedly obstructed by the school authorities.
