The parasol leaves rustled nonstop. In the gentle breeze of the new school term, An Ruoqiang quietly returned, carrying invisible scars and a secret no one knew. This quiet freshman in psychology always found herself touching the lark pendant at her collarbone when she lowered her head. It was her only connection to the past.
Duan Linze was Mingli University’s universally acknowledged golden boy, a top student in both law and finance. Gentle and refined on the surface, he somehow kept “breaking his own rules” whenever it came to her. A carefully planned welcome event brought the childhood friends, separated for years, together again. He only had to see her furrow her brow slightly before handing her the key to his home without hesitation. “If you don’t want to stay there, then don’t. Come stay with me.”
Under the same roof, quiet affection and a fluttering heart began to take root. He remembered all her preferences and old wounds, while she saw the deep emotions roiling beneath his composed exterior. But the shadows of childhood still lingered, a crisis in the business world was on the horizon, doubts swirled around them, and the tangled “childhood betrothal” between her best friend and his closest friend was still unresolved. Every step forward felt like walking over thorns.
With gentle patience, Duan Linze melted the walls of ice around her heart. With wisdom and resilience, An Ruoqiang became his strongest support.
At last, the lark found its home among the parasol trees, sharing every dawn and dusk.
It's very beautiful and restores the emotions between boys and girls on campus. It is a delicate campus novel, not embarrassing. Those who like campus novels can feel free to dive in 😘
