- She desperately got close to him because of that "power of being a top student".
But he thought that she finally saw him.
Li Youyou's world collapsed when she was seventeen. My father died young, my brother ran away, creditors blocked the alley, and my mother turned gray overnight. When she was desperate, she opened the old notebook left by her father, and something calling herself "Book Spirit" jumped out.
It says: Reading can pay off debts. It says: Stay close to people with good grades and you will become stronger.
So she blushed and knocked on the door of Gu Yanzhi, the number one student in grade. Borrowing notes, asking questions, pretending to meet him by chance in the corridor, and leaning towards him cautiously and awkwardly. The system frantically prompted a surge in energy, and she was filled with joy - she had gotten it.
Gu Yanzhi always had an expressionless face. She thought he found her annoying.
He just put breakfast on her table every day, sent her to the hospital when she was sick, blocked all rumors for her, and then continued to sit across from her quietly. As she walked farther and farther, he spread light all the way and sent her to the place she wanted to go most.
Later, she got the admission notice from that university. When she looked back to him, crying and laughing, he was standing behind the crowd, looking at her.
She rushed over and hugged him. He placed his chin on top of her head and waited for a long time before speaking in a very soft voice: "Li Youyou, I've been waiting for this day... For too long."
Only later did the system pop up the last line of prompts, and she knew——
The notebook that changed her life, the intertwining of past and present lives, and the hands that pushed her all the way in the dark.
It turns out there are never any coincidences. All the light was spread under her feet by his own hands.
