[Dual heroines + healing + younger love interest + slow and steady romance + happy ending]
A cool and aloof student council president and publicity minister × a warm, sunny, straightforward publicity department member
How long does it take to fall for someone?
Before meeting Xia Muqing, Qiu Qian had never wondered about it, much less known the answer.
When Xia Muqing appeared in the corner of Qiu Qian’s eye at the entrance ceremony, her heart beat wildly, beyond her control.
Even Qiu Qian never expected that one inadvertent glance would prompt her to impulsively sign up for the publicity department Xia Muqing led.
She also never imagined she would secretly confess her feelings to Xia Muqing during the interview.
“Why did you apply to the publicity department?”
It was the question Qiu Qian had expected.
But when she answered, her words were unlike anything Xia Muqing had ever imagined.
Their exchange stirred something in both their hearts.
In everyone else’s eyes, Xia Muqing was a cold and strict student council president.
Only Qiu Qian knew it was all a front, hiding the heartache she had suffered that winter.
The thorns Xia Muqing showed the world came from her sensitivity and vulnerability.
One act of concern from Qiu Qian touched a sore spot.
On a date, they parted on bad terms in the middle of the street.
“I don’t need you telling me what to do.”
With that, Xia Muqing turned and walked away without looking back.
In Xia Muqing’s heart, winter had always lasted.
Qiu Qian had felt that chill herself more than once.
But she always believed she could bring Xia Muqing a warm winter.
“Muqing, with me, you can always be timid and do whatever you want.”
Looking into Qiu Qian’s eyes, Xia Muqing finally realized, belatedly, that she didn’t dislike a winter that wasn’t cold.
Not as long as Qiu Qian was by her side.
