"Dream-Chasing Girl x Pessimistic Boy"
"He looked up from the depths of the valley, and she descended like a ray of light."
Honestly, if you asked Ling Yitang what she regretted in life, she would surely smile, look past the crowd, and meet that person's eyes.
Her answer was right there.
"My regret..." she began. "I suppose it's that I didn't meet Jiang Xuechi sooner."
Those words, along with the gentle expression on her face as she spoke, fell into the boy's heart like a seed. They took root and grew in silence, eventually blooming into a bright sunflower.
Little Jiang Xuechi had wondered countless times, resting his chin in his hands: What was life supposed to be like? An endless stack of workbooks? Or one cram school after another?
He didn't know.
He simply kept his head down and followed the track laid out for him. Until one day, the burden exceeded its limit, and he fell over the edge.
It seemed he had wandered alone through the dark valley for a long, long time, so long that he was nearly forgetting what he looked like, so long that he thought light was only an illusion in his memory.
Maybe it was fate, or perhaps some part of him still refused to go completely dark.
At one moment, he raised his head.
A brilliantly blooming sunflower drifted down from above, landing right in front of him, without missing its mark.
