Synopsis

[Mostly set at school, with some urban life + 1990s + mutual devotion + healing each other + cozy everyday moments]

[A slightly insecure wallflower | A sharp-tongued, warm-hearted ray of sunshine]

On the first monthly break of high school, Liu Han hurried onto the bus home and was surprised to find that Yang Qi had been sitting there for quite a while.

She was both delighted and a little embarrassed, but he was perfectly at ease and invited her to ride home on his bicycle after they got off.

As if in a daze, Liu Han climbed onto the back of Yang Qi’s bicycle. She watched the sunlight fall across his profile, and before she knew it, she had drifted into a dream she could never reach.

Fortunately, it wasn’t long before she learned that the dream belonged to both of them.

In their junior year of college, Liu Han was leaving to teach in a rural school. Yang Qi broke off a willow branch to see her off, his eyes red, as if he had so much he wanted to say. In the end, all he said was, “Liu’er, I want you to stay, but even more than that, I want you to chase your dreams.”

Liu Han never imagined that one day a willow branch could once again carry her longing. She didn’t know whether Yang Qi could still hear her, but she gently placed the willow wreath she had woven by hand on his head, shaping the words with her lips, unwaveringly:

“Yang Qi, stay.”

So much has changed, but their love is as it was from the start.

A story that begins in the 1990s, quiet and gentle, unfolding like a slow-flowing stream. No major angst, just happiness.

Love helps us become better versions of ourselves.

Any Realistic Romance Novels With a Calm, Everyday Feel?

I don't want wealthy-family stories or some kind of golden finger. I want something grounded in real life, unforgettable, and well written. The plot shouldn't move too fast, but it should be vivid and engaging, with an original storyline. Could some lovely fairy please grace me with a recommendation? I'm seriously out of things to read.
