Cool, reserved ballet dancer × aloof top student with deep, unspoken feelings
In their second year of high school, Su Qinghe, a ballet student from Nancheng, transfers to a county high school and becomes the one who stands out most in class. Though cool and slow to warm up, she catches the quiet attention of Jiang Yi, the top student who always sits in front and holds first place in the grade.
The boy hides his heart's stirring after seeing her leap to victory in the high jump at sports day and dazzle everyone with a solo ballet performance at the school gala. He keeps his feelings secret for six whole years.
After the college entrance exams, she leaves the country to pursue her ballet dream, while he stays true to his first love and waits for her return.
Four years later, she comes home. They run into each other on a street corner, and she smiles and says, “Long time no see.” Only then does he finally dare to tell her, little by little, how he has felt for the past six years.
“You were my first love. From beginning to end, it has only ever been you.”
The emotions are very delicate, the portrayal is very good, and it is really beautiful. 🥰
