The summer she turns eighteen, Lin Zhixia drags her suitcase through the gates of A University and reunites with the older boy who lived next door ten years ago.
He is the physics department’s icy campus heartthrob, the youngest founder of a tech company, and a bestselling author with a million followers. On registration day, he steps in to protect her from a girl who cuts in line. During military training, he appears by the field every day at noon, always bringing ice water, wet wipes, and sticky notes. When someone slanders her on the campus forum, he stays up all night to track down the administrator and get the posts deleted and the accounts banned.
He tells her, “I’ve been looking for you for seven years,” “I remember everything about you,” and “Because I wanted to see you.”
This is a story about a long-planned secret crush finally coming true. From the note slipped through a crack in the door when she was ten to the ice water beside the field when she was eighteen, he spends ten years taking one step at a time toward her.
They choose each other, and they are equals. The best kind of love is when, while I’m waiting for you, you’re walking toward me too.
