I Saved the Shy Campus Beauty, and Now She Insists on Marrying Me?

[One Female Lead] [Everyday Romance] [School Days] [Pure Love]

The first thing Lu Feiyang thought when he woke up reborn wasn't to feel relieved. It was: I died, so what will happen to Mom and Dad?

In his previous life, he was twenty-three, unemployed fresh out of a history degree. His father's diabetes had worsened, and half his mother's hair had turned white. As he jumped into the river to save someone, the last thing he saw was a face both unfamiliar and familiar: a girl from high school who wore sleeve protectors and kept to herself. Her name was Yun Qingqing.

In this life, he has no grand ambitions. He doesn't want to defy fate or save the world. He just wants to share a few more meals with his parents, ease his father's burdens, and keep his mother from waiting up at night until she falls asleep.

Then he sees Yun Qingqing, sitting alone in a corner of the cafeteria, with the cheapest shredded potatoes piled on her rice.

He carries two meals over and sets one in front of her.

“My math is terrible. Teach me, and I'll buy you a meal. Fair deal, right?”

She looks up at him. Her eyes hold apprehension, wariness, and something else he can't quite understand.

Only later does he learn that it's stubbornness.

And only later still does he realize that protecting one person is much harder than saving the world, because she's so stubborn that when you treat her well, she just tries to avoid you.

This is a story about “I just want to be good to you.”

No golden finger, no dramatic comeback, just a bowl of hot food, a sheet of scratch paper, and someone willing to walk slowly by your side.
