Keeping Her Close to My Heart

[Reunion after a long separation + a little angst, mutually devoted couple, happy ending]

[Sharp-tongued but soft-hearted male lead x insecure, sensitive female lead]

Before she turned eighteen, Su Dingnuan was confident, sunny, and lively. She was surrounded by her family, her friends, and the boy she loved most.

After eighteen, Su Dingnuan became insecure and lacking in confidence, and gradually found herself with no one by her side but herself.

Feng Yang was famously cold and aloof among his circle. He rarely spoke and treated everyone with indifference, no exceptions.

That is, until he went to Jiangcheng for high school and met the girl he would fall for...

During the three years Feng Yang spent with Su Dingnuan in Jiangcheng, he shed his old image. He became talkative, grew fond of showing off, and learned to care about other people's feelings.

In the years after Su Dingnuan left, Feng Yang returned to his old self, becoming even more cold and distant.

He missed Su Dingnuan so much during those years that he couldn't sleep. He called her heartless and vowed that if they ever met again, he would never forgive her easily. But when they did meet again, he forgot every harsh word he'd said.

It was only later that Feng Yang learned the girl he cherished above all else was unhappy.

He held her close.

“Su Xiaonuan, don't be afraid. I'll always be here.”

“If you don't like it, I'll make sure it never appears before you again.”

Later, as she lay in a hospital bed, he watched his girl cry until her eyes were red.

Feng Yang gripped Su Dingnuan's pale hand tightly and said,

“Su Xiaonuan, we made a promise. When next autumn comes, we'll get married...”
