[Campus + Youth Sweet Pet + Secret Love + Redemption + HE]
[Female Protagonist's Perspective: Redemption] Xia Yanqing was once a sunny girl, flying freely on the basketball court and smiling like the wind. However, on the day the basketball league ended two years ago, her parents were involved in a car accident on the way to pick her up, and both of them passed away. From then on, she closed herself up, remained silent, and lived mechanically. To outsiders, she seemed cold and distant, but only she knew that she was almost suffocating in pain. She forced herself to write down four "things to be grateful for" every day, telling herself that as long as she could write them down, she would continue to live.
She postponed her admission for a week, and when she arrived at Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, her classmates were already familiar with her, and only the empty seat in the last row belonged to her. She refused to be approached by anyone, listened to lectures in class, and slept after class, like an isolated island.
Until one day, she subconsciously caught the flying ball on the basketball court, and the moment her bangs were blown by the wind, she didn't know that someone had been looking for her for 2 years.
[The Male Protagonist's Perspective: Secret Love and Search]
Guo Yun, the young son of Beijing's top wealthy family, is cold and dignified, indifferent to others, but he can't forget the girl he caught a glimpse of on the basketball court two years ago. He gave up his place in Beijing's top high school and came to Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School just to find her.
He didn't know her name, but he only remembered the way she looked up and smiled after scoring a goal, with her bangs blowing in the wind. A week into school, he still hadn't found her until that taciturn student showed up - she was cold and distant, but she inadvertently showed a familiar posture on the basketball court. He was finally sure that she was the one he was looking for.
The profound thing about "I Love You in the Ruins" is that it doesn't portray love as a panacea that can cure everything. Xia Yanqing's sadness will still surge on the anniversary, and the family pressure and open and covert attacks on Guo Yun's shoulders have never stopped. Their love is that after recognizing the cruel truth of life, they still choose to light a lamp on each other's ruins. They know that there will still be wind and snow on the road ahead, but they have the courage to continue trekking because of the confirmed temperature in their palms. Just like the red plum that Xia Yanqing planted on the snowman's head - blooming in the ruins of winter, with the softest gesture, declaring the indestructible stubbornness of life.
This work is a love letter to all those who have been in ruins. It tells us that the most profound love may not be the blooming flowers on the smooth road, but standing hand in hand by the abyss. After seeing all the scars on each other, we are still willing to whisper: "I am here, above the ruins, to live with you."
