    It's so beautiful, so incredibly beautiful! It evokes a simple, quiet happiness! Yi Ci may not be eloquent, but he's incredibly decisive! Finally, his patience paid off, and he found his sunshine—You Lu. You Lu has always been a little sun, illuminating everyone around her. Although she's a bit oblivious when it comes to romance, she's mostly in a state of "unaware of her own joy." Fortunately, our lovely You You has also found her happiness. This is probably the most ordinary and down-to-earth female lead. For several years from junior high to high school, she had a face full of acne, average grades, and no outstanding talents, but she was famous throughout the school for having a childhood friend who was her best friend. Most surprisingly, her friend's older brother had a crush on her, so after much effort and careful planning, it all came to fruition. The male lead is afraid to express his love because of his personality, which pushes people further and further away. However, he takes care of her meticulously and does things to show his love for her without letting her know. It's really touching. The female lead is afraid of the male lead because of his indifference and his nonsensical temper and emotional outbursts. Fortunately, the two of them clear up their misunderstandings and get back together.
