[Reborn at school + childhood friend takes the lead + devoted 1v1 + pure romance + unrequited love]
Bold and flirtatious × insecure and gloomy
Tang Xu pursued Zhou Ci for eight years, believing she would be the exception and win his heart.
Instead, his first love returned from overseas. They reconciled as if nothing had happened and married in no time, while his friends kept calling her “sis-in-law.”
Tang Xu was left looking like a vicious supporting character who had tried to steal another woman’s man while she was away, and was thrown out in disgrace.
That year also marked the second anniversary of Zhu Qingyuan’s death. Zhou Ci no longer appeared in Tang Xu’s dreams. Instead, she dreamed of her childhood neighbor, a boy she had never been close to.
In her dreams, he always watched her with those narrow, dark eyes, like a black snake in a rain-soaked forest, making her shiver.
He would limp toward her on his left leg, moving slowly, his deathly pale face close to hers as he begged in an almost hoarse voice, “Xu Xu, please, just look at me…”
Tang Xu was sure she had never done anything to provoke him, but she couldn’t drive away this ghost who seemed intent on claiming her life. So she went to the temple every day to pray.

By a stroke of fate, she returned to high school.
All Tang Xu wanted was to stay away from Zhou Ci, make peace with her parents, and live out her life in peace.
But she couldn’t stop thinking about Zhu Qingyuan, who was destined to die. So she patiently smiled at him, treated him well, and became his good friend.
She was afraid he would repeat his fate and haunt her dreams every night.
But as they spent more time together, things started taking a very different turn…
Why did she feel like she was the one who couldn’t live without her limping childhood friend?

One day, Zhu Qingyuan carried the girl’s schoolbag as she unwrapped a piece of candy and popped it into his mouth, beaming.
Zhou Ci saw them from a distance.
His friend teased him, “Ci, why are your eyes suddenly red?”
It's okay. The author looks like a newbie, so he gave it five stars to support it. But at this update rate, I guess I'll have to update it once and watch it again 🥺
A very interesting campus novel. The male protagonist has always been secretly in love with the female protagonist, but he feels inferior due to his own shortcomings. Fortunately, the female protagonist is like a little sun, lighting up him.
