[Rebellious wildfire × cool north wind (sweet on the outside, dark within) | Mutual salvation | Everyday school life]
“He’s a bird trapped in a gilded cage. I’m a fire burning through the rules.”
Gu Ye, you’re getting way too involved.
Shen Tingshuo, we’re classmates. What’s wrong with helping each other?
Gu Ye, you’re the one who came looking for trouble first.
Shen Tingshuo, would you run away with me?
Gu Ye was known throughout the school as an “oddball.”
His grades were rock-bottom, but with his customized motorcycle and rebellious streak, he’d made himself a legend.
He worked part-time, got into fights, and made latte art at a café. His life motto was, “Experiences matter more than anything.”
Then, when the classes were reshuffled in his second year of high school, he ran into Shen Tingshuo: the “other people’s kid” who always came first and lived like a precision instrument.
Shen Tingshuo’s world was made up of formulas and expectations.
His phone was tracked, his time divided into slots, and even his dreams were a family heirloom.
He thought he would live forever under the shadow of his brother’s death and his parents’ control,
until Gu Ye came barging in smelling of motorcycle grease, an iced cola in hand,
and asked him, “Hey, can’t sleep? Want me to take you for a ride?”
“He taught me how to solve functions. I taught him how to live as himself.”
When rebellious wildfire collided with the repressed north wind,
some saw opposition, while others saw salvation.
Gu Ye discovered that Shen Tingshuo’s coldness was just a shield for his despair.
Shen Tingshuo saw that beneath Gu Ye’s swagger was a kindness no one knew about.
