[College from the start + secret love comes true + sweet romance + reunion + devoted to each other]
On the surface, Le Xuan is a cold science whiz, but inside he’s sensitive and perceptive. He has secretly loved Ye Xicheng for years, and when he mistakenly believes she didn’t apply to Q University, he begins to doubt himself.
Ye Xicheng is a top Chinese literature student with asthma. Her health keeps her from attending military training, but missing it makes her anxious, so she secretly keeps tabs on him.
…
On Le Xuan’s application form, Q University’s finance program has been crossed out and rewritten again and again in pen. It’s all because he heard Ye Xicheng say, at the end of the corridor, “I want to study Chinese literature at Q University.” He changed his application overnight, but amid the crowds at the new-student registration desks, he didn’t see the girl who was always writing poetry by the window.
He searched the library, cafeteria, and sports field, and even considered retaking the entrance exam.
His best friend, Zhou Jingnian, holds him back. “Don’t do anything rash. Didn’t your future sister-in-law say she doesn’t want to date in high school?”
As it turns out, Ye Xicheng missed every group activity because of her asthma.
She lies in a hospital bed, unaware that Le Xuan nearly retook the entrance exam just to find her.
