Synopsis

[Steady, Empathetic Doctor × Gentle, Devoted Teacher]

[Pure Romance + Reunion After Years Apart + Sweet and Angsty]

This isn't a sweet romance.

It's a story about two people who never spoke up learning to find their voices.

After an accident, Song Chuxing runs into Wen Lan, whom he's not seen in years.

But how did his old classmate end up becoming his doctor?

As they spend more time together, the blurry face from his memories gradually comes into focus.

For Wen Lan, the distant star she'd admired had finally come within reach. But she was afraid: how could she fall for the same person as her good friend?

A deep sense of guilt and the sorrow of her past trapped her like a cage.

Thankfully, the support of her friends and the companionship of her beloved finally gave her the courage to face her feelings and break free.

“Song, so in your memories of youth, I was just some random extra?” Wen Lan teased, flicking Song Chuxing on the forehead.

“I was wrong, I was wrong!” Song Chuxing instantly dropped to his knees in surrender. “But now you're the most important person in my life.”

“Is that so?” Wen Lan raised an eyebrow. “You said you did something wrong, so you have to make it up to me.”

“What kind of compensation do you want?”

“Kiss me.”

Song Chuxing leaned in and kissed her. Wen Lan responded fervently, afraid that this fleeting happiness might vanish in an instant once more.

“Is that enough?” Song Chuxing asked with a smile in his eyes. “Or should we take our time?”

“A-Xing, I love you so much...” Wen Lan's eyes brimmed with tears.

He pulled her into a tight embrace. “Lan, this time, I won't let you run away from me again.”
