[Dual personalities + straightforward, guiding partner]
Lin Chiyi first met Shang Leqi in the spring. What he remembered most was her thick bangs, which hid her eyes and left only her nose visible. The second time he saw her was one afternoon when he went to a bookstore to buy a book. Shang Leqi was working there, and her gentle, soft voice as she rang him up stirred his heart. The next time he saw her was at a teahouse, where the owner called her “Qiqi.” That day, he realized he liked Shang Leqi.
Lin Chiyi always thought Shang Leqi was an innocent, gentle, sensible young woman who knew nothing of the ways of the world. It took him a long time to see through her disguise. Her innocence, gentleness, and sensibility were all an act. The real her was gloomy, weary of life, conflicted, and obsessive. He ached for all the restraint Shang Leqi had endured. He wanted to be a ray of sunshine in her life, warming her little corner of the world. He wanted to be someone she could rely on, and make her happy.
