[Youthful campus romance + love that grows over time + a touch of angst]
Sweet, top-ranking schoolgirl + cool, rebellious, handsome boy
Their meeting seemed destined. That encounter on a late-summer morning became a cherished memory for them both.
“All the world's splendor gathers in her brows, and she belongs to that proud, carefree boy. To have her is to possess the whole world.”
In their second lifetime together, the boy chose to leave to protect the girl. He wished that in their next lives they would be strangers, so they could meet again without dying for love like a pair of inseparable birds, but instead pass each other by as strangers.
In the end, the boy did not get his wish. Ten years after his death, the girl remembered his name.
The winter ten years later was unusually cold.
Beneath the fine snow, a girl would kneel before a grave. Her fingertips traced the patterns on the tombstone as she murmured softly,
“Xu Jingnian, I've come to see you. It's been so long.”
