Synopsis

[Emotionally Unaware Patient]+ [One Female Lead]+ [Secret Crush]+ [Young Master]

Because of his parents’ love, he came to Jiangcheng. For him, there was no choice but to set aside his pride and adapt to life here.

He had planned to quietly spend these eighteen years here before returning to where he came from. But after one coincidence after another in his second year of high school, he, like his father before him, left his heart here.

She was emotionally unaware. She didn’t understand her own feelings, and was like a white lotus. In their art class, he was afraid of tainting her, and his feelings changed from unrelenting devotion to simply staying by her side.

He met many people along the way, but she was the only one who made his heart stir from the very beginning.

Unfortunately, he was destined to die young, and could never stay with her for the rest of her life.

We can’t be completely devoted to each other now, so we’ll never be able to understand one another without a word.

Shen Zhongyao, tell me, who does your heart belong to? I’m begging you. Let it be me, okay?

Ye Lingxi, if you’d turned around like you used to, how could you not have seen me? You used to look back at me, but now you only run forward, while I’m still standing right where I was. So I’ll remain in the past, too. Keep running forward, Ye Lingxi. My heart will always be in the past. We’ll never see each other again.

Shen Zhongyao, you were the one who told me that I should send flowers sooner next time. Otherwise, the next time I bring flowers, I’ll only be able to leave them by a cold stone gravestone and a black-and-white photograph.

I have to do all the drama of a secret love, showing that I don't love her on the surface, but I'm very tormented on the inside. That kind of being so close but not daring to get close. God has helped, but I still can't get over that hurdle. All the sadness has to be hidden in my heart. Not to mention being good to her, at least he loved her, and that was pretty good. Every step he takes is so cautious, every step is as timid as a mouse, and he is immersed in fantasy every day. The saddest thing in the world is that you love him and he loves you, but you are all cowards and don't dare to express your love. Even God is trying to match you up, but you quietly miss it.

Who knows? This book depicts a campus crush in a pure and sad way. The emotionally insensitive heroine x the gentle young master, the secret love slowly ferments in the companionship. The kind of cautiousness that wants to touch but is afraid of being tarnished directly touched my heart. The plot is exquisite, the characters are touching, and the sweet pet of youth hides sourness and growth. It has great stamina!
