I love the way you give your all to love me. Being loved so securely by you gives me the courage to do anything. With you, I’m not afraid of any adventure. You’re the boy Jiang Huai loves, and vice versa.
Years later, Chu Luoshi becomes a hugely popular author. At a signing event for her new book, a reporter asks, “One of your works is about a young romance at school. When did you write it, and how did you feel at the time? Was it based on real people?”
Chu Luoshi answers without hesitation, “It was based on me.”
“And the other protagonist?”
“He’s my husband, the person I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with even when we were young.”
“Your writing is wonderful. I hope your new book is a huge success.”
Chu Luoshi smiles softly. She’s grateful that her youth wasn’t as ordinary as most people’s, and that her beloved and her friends were there throughout it. Still, she doesn’t think her writing is all that good. If anything, it feels rushed, because even the finest prose couldn’t capture the kiss at Qifu Temple that sealed their bond for life, or the wonder of thousands of prayer lanterns rising into the sky for her. It couldn’t capture the snow at Luomei Garden that year, the romance of the boy building Fenghua Court for her, or the shock of fireworks blooming across the sky for her alone. And it could never capture the boy’s wholehearted love, all for her...
A childhood-sweetheart romance where both fall for each other
