   Great, it's a happy ending 😭, our Chun Tian is saved! Jiang Du ✘ Wei Qingyue [Spring Never Fades]🍚 When Wei Qingyue pushed open the mottled wooden door of the library, thin snowflakes were falling softly on his shoulders. Beside the radiator, Jiang Du huddled in a corner, flipping through an old book. Her frostbitten fingers trembled, and a seashell suddenly fell from the pages—the one he had left in her pencil case that year. "Twelve years have passed, and you still have it?" He leaned against the bookshelf, his voice low and heavy, carrying the scent of wind and snow. Jiang Du looked up abruptly, her glasses sliding down to the tip of her nose, like a startled deer. "When... When did you return to China?" She hurriedly clutched the seashell in her hand, but he gently held her wrist. Wei Qingyue's palm was warm, his knuckles distinct, as if they had never left. "Yesterday," he said, looking down at her, his eyelashes still stained with unmelted snow, "I went to see that tree in the plum blossom garden, and the words 'The Swordsman' were carved on its branches." He suddenly smiled, his eyes reflecting the faint light from the window. "Jiang Du, I received all the letters you secretly slipped into my drawer back then." Her ears instantly burned red, and she tried to pull her hand away, but he held it even tighter. "But you said... You would never expose me." "I broke my promise." He leaned closer, his breath brushing against her ear. "In my third year in America, I opened the thirty-sixth letter—you said that if I could find the seashell hidden in 'Norwegian Wood,' you would agree to release a sky lantern with me." Jiang Du's tears fell onto the old book cover, spreading into a blotchy ink pattern. Wei Qingyue pulled a faded red tin box from his coat pocket. Inside were twelve neatly folded letters, with a green grape-flavored candy wrapper on top. "Grandma said you used to go to KFC to write new letters every Mid-Autumn Festival, and I happened to sit behind you." "No need for coincidences anymore." He unfolded a yellowed piece of paper, on which was her unfinished handwriting— 💌"Greetings, Wei Qingyue. The mimosa trees in Meizhong are in bloom. If you come back next spring, could you…" "Yes." He interrupted her, pulling her into his arms. "The bookshelves on both walls of the study are installed, and your dressing table faces the French windows. And…" His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had suppressed it for too long, "I will never let the rain wet your letters again." When the snow outside stopped, Jiang Du's fingertips touched the scar below his collarbone. Wei Qingyue smiled and pressed her hand to his heart: "This has been patched up for twelve years, finally healing in the spring." Before the first snow fell completely, their shadows overlapped on the mottled wall of the library, like two trees finally reunited…

   I'm recommending a book! The male lead is timid and secretly in love but doesn't dare express his feelings, and the female lead is the same way!
