Do You Dare Take a Bite?

[Two top students + healing + love at first sight, openly pursued + sweet romance]

A red rose, sensitive at heart, vs. a laid-back, world-weary thorn hiding a dark side

At seventeen, Shi Qianqian met someone who would shatter the balance of her life.

In her senior year of high school, she fell into a relationship she initially thought could end at any moment.

Outside school, the boy acted like a delinquent; inside, he was a model student. His eyes could look weary, or gleam with carefree laughter.

A beautiful girl belongs with a beautiful boy.

Later, they promised to score over 700 and attend the same university. Once again, she lost her balance, and went with him to dive into a sea that belonged to them alone.

When the college entrance exam results came out, they had both kept their promise. But she never received an admission letter like his. Instead, she got two words: “Let’s break up.”

For Shi Qianqian’s eighteenth birthday, she was in a hospital room, wearing the last gift her grandmother had given her.

Si Ye thought his life would end at eighteen. In the first half of his life, others trapped him in Qinghai City; in the second half, he trapped himself there.

But after meeting her, he wanted to escape his cage and follow her. From then on, she would be his whole world.

“Name three things someone needs to confess their love to you. You have five seconds.”

“Roses, a white dress, and… him.”

Later, there were roses by the sea, and there was him, but no white dress.

She went with him to dive into the bone-chilling sea, and he gave her a sea of burning roses.
