A wonderfully oblivious, healing heroine and a quiet, patient, devoted hero [Sweetness in every bite | Childhood sweethearts | He falls first | Unrequited love becomes mutual | Older man | Healing and redemption | They choose each other | One-on-one, both leads are each other’s first | Happy ending]
At fourteen, Ning Yingxue witnessed her parents’ deaths. From then on, she carried a secret she could never tell anyone.
What she never imagined was that Chi Yanzhu knew the secret she thought no one in the world could discover.
When the crime happened, Chi Yanzhu was right behind her. He watched her flee, watched her break down and collapse, then carried her home.
The rain that day was so heavy it turned everything before her eyes gray and blurred, while every sound became a noisy, ringing hum. Chi Yanzhu did everything he could to tilt his umbrella over her head, but it still could not shield her from the downpour that threatened to shatter her life.
At eighteen, Ning Yingxue told him she had found a goal and a faith of her own.
Seeing the resolve and brightness in her eyes, Chi Yanzhu felt bitterness rise in his throat. He could never bring himself to say the words that might stop her.
Gazing at the bright moon outside his window, he took out the wish card he had left blank four years ago. His fingers tightened until they turned white as he wrote three words: “Catch the light.” A moment later, he quietly crossed them out and changed them.
His nature and growing desire made him want to possess her, but love made him step back and protect her in silence.
I like the character of the heroine, she is gentle, tough and healing. I recommend her!
