Catching Cicadas

[Reunion After Years Apart + Childhood Sweethearts + School Life + Comedy + Satisfying Read]

A traumatic incident ten years ago shattered Tang An’an’s young heart. Her life hung by a thread, and she and the childhood sweetheart who had always been by her side went their separate ways for good.

Ten years later, her family was gradually back on its feet, but the childhood sweetheart who had been with her every day was gone from her memory.

When they met again, he did everything he could to create one scene after another, despite all the attempts to stop him.

Tang An’an stared at the handsome man who had suddenly barged into her life, battered and bruised, and found the whole thing as baffling as a miracle.

She furrowed her brow and sighed in exasperation.

“Do you think we’re just incompatible by birth? First your arm, then your ribs, and now your eyes. If we’re matching this to a wuxia drama, first it was Yang Guo, then the Golden-Haired Lion King. If we keep this up for two more days, you’d better not turn into Qiu Qianren, the one who spits out date pits. You know who I mean!”

She kept talking without a care for anyone else’s feelings.

The handsome man looked ready to burst a vein.

“My ribs are fine, I’m not blind, and the wound on my arm’s much better. How about we go find a fortune-teller right now and see if our birth charts match?”

His gaze was frighteningly intent, but his childhood sweetheart thought he was being unreasonable. She smiled as calmly as if nothing were wrong.

“I was just joking. Why take it seriously? Whether we’re compatible is fate’s decision. If we try to peek at heaven’s secrets, we might suffer a backlash!”

The childhood sweetheart felt like his head was about to split. What kind of person was she? If he reasoned with her, she talked about attitude. If he talked about attitude, she started preaching Buddhist teachings.
