[Dance-loving freshman x student council president → psychotherapist x rising star in venture capital]
[Three-year age gap, she has a crush on him at first, then they fall for each other, single-couple romance, happy ending, no past relationships]
The new semester begins, and Jing University welcomes a fresh crop of energetic students.
Wen Yao has achieved the goal she set for herself in high school. She came to the university where he studies, all on her own, and became his schoolmate.
When they meet again, he is as warm and courteous as she remembers. Everyone thinks his striking looks don’t match his gentle nature. But Wen Yao knows that his warmth and courtesy are just a “mask.” In his life, that mask is like a shield: he refuses to step beyond it and won’t let anyone in.
“Yaoyao, why didn’t you tell me you were coming to Jing University?”
“What, you don’t recognize me anymore?”
The gentler his voice, the more hurt she feels. Fighting back a sob, Wen Yao finally manages to speak.
“No, I remember you. I just didn’t want to bother you.”
Later, the man behind that warm and courteous mask no longer holds back his feelings for her. One large hand grips the young woman’s slender waist and pulls her close, while the other rests against her neck. He doesn’t suppress his desire at all as he takes the sweetness from her lips...
The young man who had kept himself enclosed in a protective shell finally steps out of it and walks with determination toward the girl who has always been chasing after him.
“The moon doesn’t know how serene and bright it is. It doesn’t even know that it’s the moon.”
“The sea has its shores, the moon waxes and wanes, and life is full of imperfections. But with you here, all that is missing can be made whole.”
