Shen Huaiyu had a neighbor's son who had grown up alongside her. Her parents were always busy with work, so throughout her childhood and adolescence, he played an important role in her life. He went to school with her, looked after her when she was sick, and cleaned up after her when she got into trouble.
“What? He won an award? Then I have to win an even bigger one.”
“What, he got into Nanda? Then I'll get in through the recommendation program too!”
When Shen Huaiyu was sixteen, she told Gu Yan, “Don't worry, Big Brother. I'll take good care of you when we're older.”
At eighteen, Shen Huaiyu declared with complete confidence, “Who said that? I don't remember. Anyway, it wasn't me.”
To Shen Huaiyu, he was the childhood playmate she had innocently followed around, the guiding light of her youth, and the person she could not live without once she grew up.
Ever since childhood, Gu Yan had always had a little shadow trailing behind him. He got used to having her follow him and to taking care of her. He watched her grow up and flourish in the field where she excelled. Once they were older, he cherished her above all else, berating himself for his darker thoughts even as he continued to protect her.
“Shen Huaiyu, I was still the one by your side when you were seventeen.
“When you turned eighteen, I wanted to stay by your side under a different title.”
A story of two people finding their way to each other: an astronomy prodigy who seems as gentle as jade but is actually calculating, and a finance genius who seems like an innocent little bunny but can bring anyone to ruin.
