Luyou's life took a dramatic turn one winter day during the first semester of her sophomore year in high school.
The first time she met her cousin Yang Chenyi at her aunt's house, she was at her most disheveled. The winter sun shone warmly over City C, and while everyone else was dressed lightly, Luyou was still bundled up in a thick, oversized padded coat, as if hiding inside a safe cocoon.
After a long night on the train, exhaustion was etched across her face. Her dull eyes and dark circles silently told of the hardships of the journey. Her hair, which should have been smooth and soft, now hung in a lifeless, tangled mess.
And yet this girl, whom Yang Chenyi thought was a complete country bumpkin, stayed on his mind for seven whole years.
When they met again seven years later, Yang Chenyi was no longer the awkward boy he had been. Like was bold, but love was restrained. Step by step, he went from openly liking her to quietly loving her, finding his way into Luyou's heart and vowing to be the ray of sunshine within it.
