The Road Home in Spring

[Love-at-First-Sight, Familiar, Wildly Sweet Girl × A Top Student Who Seems Distant but Is a Hopeless Romantic]

One-on-one, both pure, a sweet first-love story | From secret crush to open love, then officially becoming a couple

An accidental glimpse in a friend’s social media feed leads to countless lovely encounters, some unintentional and others very much on purpose.

After the welcome party, Chen Yao went home, snuggled into bed, and did the first thing that came to mind: she posted on Zhihu:

“Help! What should I do if I fell in love at first sight with a guy on my friend’s social media?”

Commenter A: The original poster sounds like one of those people who spots a handsome guy at the subway station, doesn’t dare ask for his contact info, then goes searching for him online like a needle in a haystack. (crying-laughing emoji)

Commenter B: Scramble it with eggs.

Commenter C: Is the original poster pretty? Rich?

Commenter D: Replying to the comment above, the whole world is just one giant amateur production.

Commenter Number N: Don’t be afraid of catching feelings, be afraid of never making a move! Better to act than just pine, so add him on WeChat and go for it!!!

Chen Yao, in her self-admiring phase: I think I’ve got a little of both... (pointing index fingers together, innocent face)

Her best friend in a distant town: Don’t worry, I’m a woman of action, and I’ve got dating experience. Let me teach you a few tricks...

Chen Yao: (not quite getting it) The one who lives near the water gets the moon first. I’ll transfer to your school in a couple of days...

Xu Zhao, in a distant place, completely unaware he’s already been targeted: ...

Xu Zhao, before falling in love at first sight: Not happy.

After falling head over heels: Do... do you like me? (ears bright red)

Maybe Chen Yao and Xu Zhao don’t know it yet, but years later, when they look back on their youth, they’ll both think: “Meeting you was the luckiest thing that ever happened to me.”
