[One man and one woman, both untouched] [They heal each other] [They choose each other]
The first time Shen Zhan saw Kong Xiaxia cry was during the rainy season when she was seven.
The rain was pouring, blurring his vision. Kong Xiaxia, soaked and battered, was cornered and bullied at the mouth of an alley. The two vivid handprints on her face were the clearest sign of her pain amid the rain.
He vaguely remembered that Kong Xiaxia didn’t give in. Her eyes bloodshot, she fought back against her tormentors. Though alone, she refused to bow her head. The water running down her face might have been rain or tears, and he couldn’t help wanting to go to her.
Shen Zhan: “Don’t cry. If you don’t want to be bullied, then get stronger and make them pay for every grievance.”
The first time Shen Zhan saw her smile was years later, one afternoon when she was eighteen, on a beautiful summer day.
Kong Xiaxia wore a white dress for the first time. Holding a camera, she looked at him with a warm smile in her eyes and said softly:
“From now on, summer will have cicadas singing, and Zhan will have Xiaxia.”
…
Shen Zhan: “If the world is unfair to you, I’ll protect you with my life! You’re wonderful, and I like you so much. I… can I pursue you?”
Kong Xiaxia: “Summer has countless heart-fluttering moments, but… you’re the only one who makes my heart flutter.”
