As a patient with terminal stomach cancer, I decide to experience campus life at Nanjiang No. 1 High School.
On the first day of school, I see the school bully kick a thug who was extorting the convenience store into a trash heap.
His fearsome reputation precedes him, and the whole school is afraid of him.
Then one day, when I'm shaking and throwing up on the rooftop, he suddenly appears after climbing over the wall, carrying a thermos of hot congee. "Have some. It'll soothe your stomach."
From then on, a shadow follows me on the way home, and the Chinese herbal medicine he brews keeps appearing in my desk.
My classmates bet on when he'll lose patience.
They don't know...
When he pores over ancient Chinese medical texts every night searching for a prescription, I'm pretending to sleep. When he secretly records my coughing and wheezing and takes it to the hospital to consult experts, I'm in tears.
At graduation, my condition suddenly worsens. He carries me and races out of the auditorium, shouting, "Xu Si, just try dying on me!"
The media captures the once-arrogant heir to the Jiang family kneeling outside the ICU for three days and three nights.
When I open my eyes again, he looks utterly worn out, his voice hoarse. "Little Rose... Can we spend the rest of this summer together as if it were a lifetime?"
