Starlight in the Quadrant

[Sweet campus romance, crush, chance encounter, gentle programmer VS perceptive accounting student]

Early winter, a camphor-lined path, a downpour, the scent of mint, and a chance meeting beneath one umbrella. The warmth of their fingertips brushing was fleeting, like data in a cache, yet left its mark.

“Just think of all your liabilities as investments in disguise.” An Ran boldly defined this flutter of the heart, then took the initiative to invite him for a walk.

“The umbrella was an excuse?” He saw right through her, then gently agreed. “I drank your milk tea. How could I say no?”

And so programmer Jiang Yue began compiling code for the stars for a “girl,” while accounting student An Ran entered an unquantifiable “heart-fluttering asset” into her books.

"Our story began on a rainy day, and officially set off with a cup of milk tea with 30% sugar."
