Turn Back the Gears and Kiss You

Chu Nannan recognized Qin Lan on the very first day he transferred to her school. He wasn’t the model student in a uniform with clear, gentle features. He was the boy who had crashed through a guardrail for her in their previous life, taking his last breath amid the flames.

Reborn, she had only one thought: stop the tragedy and keep him alive.

Ignoring the rumors, she approached him, accurately naming “Brother Wolf” from the underground racing circuit and warning him to stay away from a deadly trap. Qin Lan only thought she was a strange and dangerous nuisance, building a wall around himself with his cold gaze.

Until a gossip reporter cornered her in an alley, and he silently stepped in front of her.

Until his so-called “family” forced him into a corner, and she took his cold hand without hesitation.

Until he dropped every pretense and led her into a secret garage that smelled of motor oil and metal, laying the real dangers and darkness before her.

“Look carefully,” he said. “What is it you’re trying to get close to?”

Chu Nannan looked into the eyes that had once reflected roaring flames and now reflected only her. She answered softly:

“What I see is you.”

His walls of ice came crashing down. As a seed of trust took root amid lies and danger, the two young people from different worlds finally realized that true salvation wasn’t about changing fate. It was about becoming the only light either of them could hold on to along a path destined to shatter.
