[Coming of age + campus healing + mutual devotion + happy ending]
[Resilient boy Song Shengyu x shy girl Ji Ning'an]
The day Song Shengyu’s mother fell into a coma after a car accident, his life completely collapsed. Diffuse axonal injury left her dependent on a ventilator for the long term, while his father took all their savings and squandered them with his mistress. All that remained for Song Shengyu were astronomical medical bills and cruel rumors spreading across campus: “He’s hoping his mom will die so he can inherit her money,” and “He’s always borrowing money to pay off debts. He has no morals.”
In a school uniform with frayed cuffs, he scraped by on steamed buns for meals and went straight to the hospital after class to care for his mother. He became the most conspicuous outcast on campus.
Then Ji Ning'an came along. This shy girl didn’t join in when her classmates ostracized him. The deepest kind of salvation, it turned out, wasn’t grand or dramatic. It was having someone willing to crouch down beside you when everyone else had abandoned you, to wait with you for a seemingly endless awakening, and to face together the chaos of youth.
