[Cool and aloof, mischievous girl vs. gentle idealist who is cold on the outside but warm within]
"The first time I saw you, you were holding this and telling a story about pure conversation. I thought, could I listen to you talk every day from now on? Not about the horsetail whisk, but about you."
There were no roses or candles, just moonlight, the fragrance of osmanthus, and the gently swaying shadows of relics. Their suggestive words were like summer mosquitoes, leaving her heart deliciously itchy with every bite.
"So, do you like me? I mean it!" Jiang Xinyan asked playfully.
"I mean it too." As soon as he finished, Shi Yanshu pulled her into his arms and kissed her. Much later, he whispered in her ear, "I love you."
Before this, Shi Yanshu was gentle and courteous to everyone, until he met Jiang Xinyan. (But the male lead has always been a gentle person. He's still gentle with the female lead, but he gets jealous of the boys who get close to her.)
The female lead is aloof in front of everyone else, but once she and the male lead get together, she acts like a mischievous little kid around him.
There's a little bit of healing, but only a little.
