[Bickering couple + mutual healing + high school romance]
Blunt, slow-on-the-uptake puppy girl vs. pure-hearted, proud, brooding boy
The summer of their second year of high school, Jiang Yu was knocked over by Wen Yanyao, who came speeding by on roller skates with a suitcase in tow.
The girl, like a gust of wind, burst into his world, sunshine all around her.
She was like a piece of toffee, clinging to him and impossible to shake off.
He thought Wen Yanyao was sticking to him just to get help with her English, but she said she didn't only want tutoring, she also wanted to be his friend.
He didn't really believe her, but he indulged her in everything she did.
Until one night, in the pitch darkness, the girl saw through the vulnerability he had hidden behind a mask. She didn't leave. Instead, she caught him in a warm embrace.
He was done for.
Jiang Yu thought he was going to cling to Wen Yanyao for the rest of his life.
Later, he did everything he could to stay by her side, quietly driving away everyone around her, selfishly wanting to keep the moon all to himself.
But the girl only hugged him tenderly and whispered in his ear, "Do you feel safe enough now?"
It turned out the moon had belonged to him all along.
At first, the male lead is a perfectly normal bickering rival. Only later does his dark, clingy side come out.
A school romance. The leads won't date until they are both adults.
A story about two little bitter gourds finding warmth together and learning how to love and heal each other.
