The Crimson to Qi

16-Year-old Shen Jiang was taken home by 20-year-old Jiang Qizhi. During the time they spent together day and night, she developed a secret affection for this man who took care of her tenderly. She originally wanted to hide this feeling in her heart, but with the encouragement of her friend that "love must be bravely spoken out", she mustered up the courage to confess. But before she could tell her true feelings, she accidentally ran into Jiang Qizhi arguing with his elders about marriage. When she heard Jiang Qizhi say firmly, "I only regard her as my sister, I have never had any other feelings for her," Shen Jiang's heart sank instantly. She quietly stepped away, secretly glad that she didn't reveal her feelings, and at least she could stay with him as a "brother and sister". After the birthday party, Shen Jiang agreed to return to Country Y without hesitation in order to escape this unplaceable feeling. After she left, Jiang Qizhi gradually realized that something was wrong - there was less and less news about Shen Jiang, and his circle of friends became a horizontal line. Until his friend showed him a photo of Shen Jiang and a foreign boy smiling at Biye, he said "impossible" but felt inexplicably depressed. One semester passed, Jiang Qizhi was fully expecting Shen Jiang to return to China, but what was waiting for her was the reply "I won't come back this year." The emotions he had suppressed for a long time completely exploded, and he immediately booked a flight to fly abroad. When he saw Shen Jiang in front of him who was deliberately keeping a distance from him, Jiang Qizhi finally realized: he had never been a brother and sister to Shen Jiang, but wanted her to be his wife from the bottom of his heart.
