[Two-way redemption × Youthful growth × Delicate undercurrent] - You are the light in my cracks, I am the sugar in your loneliness
"He seems to be perfect, but half of his soul is immersed in shadow; she seems to be tough, but her palms are full of self-healing scabs."
Shen Zitong is the sunflower in school who always smiles brightly - she has excellent grades and is willing to help others. No one knows that she got blisters on her fingers while working in a milk tea shop late at night, and no one has seen her huddled in a leaky attic in an urban village, counting her medicine bills with her shoulders shaking.
Huo Yu is a transfer student who has a distinguished family background, sharp eyebrows, but is so cold that even his shadow freezes. Until that day when it rained heavily, he saw Shen Zitong getting soaked while running in the rain, and suddenly stepped on the accelerator and chased after her.
He taught her that "you don't have to be humble to be loved", and she taught him that "it's not shameful to be vulnerable"
Those pill boxes hidden in the mezzanine of schoolbags, shared study rooms at four in the morning, fingers intertwined escaping in heavy rain...
In the end, it turned into the pen he handed out in front of the whole school at the graduation ceremony - exactly the same as the pen she had peeked out of the window countless times but couldn't afford.
"The sunflower doesn't need the sun to apologize, but the sun will remember to bow down and kiss her petals."
I would like to use this book to make up for my lost imperfect youth.
