[Healing and redemption + reunion after years apart + transmigration and rebirth + a gentle male lead who's secretly a genius + a quiet, insecure heroine who grows + school days]
Lin Qingning has always felt that her life is like a sour, unripe lemon: ordinary and unremarkable, never truly cherished.
Then one day, she falls asleep on a bus and wakes up back in time, at sixteen.
There, she meets a boy named Shen Yizhou.
He's gentle and carefree, like a fizzy drink on a summer day.
He says, "Standing there, you look like a tree."
He says, "From now on, I'll protect you."
Qingning doesn't need to turn into some other fruit. She only needs to be herself.
She doesn't know he's been waiting for this day for a very long time.
Longer than "a very long time."
