[Dual male leads + both devoted to each other + secret crush + cozy everyday romance]
A restrained, quietly pining pursuer + an innocent, direct pursuer
Qi An never expected that, after three years apart, he would see Chen Bai again at his grandmother's funeral.
Chen Bai stood before him, travel-worn. Qi An looked up at him. His eyes were red as he softly called, “An’an.”
Before Qi An could say a word, tears came streaming down. He swallowed the words “Brother Bai,” but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't say them aloud.
Whenever Chen Bai closed his eyes, he saw Qi An as he had looked on the day Chen Bai broke up with him. Qi An looked at him and cautiously ventured, his voice seeming to catch in his throat, bitter and heartbroken: “Why did we have to break up?”
It was only during the years they were apart that Chen Bai learned sorrow really could consume a person.
He still remembered that summer in the countryside, when cicadas sang freely and Qi An and Chen Bai met and came to know each other.
Young love began to blossom, only to be blocked at every turn by reality.
Family burdens, class differences, choices about the future: would they be left with regret, or would they bravely pursue love?
Theme: What binds you and me is not the morning mist or evening dew, but a river that flows on and on, surging forward without end.
I really like their story. Although I can predict that there will be a knife in the future, it is very sweet and happy at this moment. The author's writing style is very suitable for my taste. I hope I can stick to it.
Cheers to those who are exploring for the first time⛽
