[Gentle, Resilient Classical Dancer x Cold on the Outside, Clingy Younger Puppy]
1.
A car accident meant that You Jia, who had found fame at a young age, would never dance onstage again.
Flowers, stages, and dreams all vanished.
Her world faded to black and white.
That is, until she met Chen Yi.
The young man wore black, his features stern, and his whole being radiated an unmistakable stay-away-from-me aura.
You Jia held her injured leg and looked past him at the beaming male student beside him. "Could you give me a hand?"
Chen Yi, who had already taken half a step toward her, froze with his hand in midair, then expressionlessly drew it back.

Later, You Jia pieced together an image of Chen Yi from what others told her: a rehabilitation major at A University, devastatingly handsome, but cold and hard to approach.
Remembering the boy's indifferent gaze, she had to agree.
Until one day, she reflexively asked that smiling male student for help again. From the corner of her eye, she saw Chen Yi abruptly pull back his hand, his gaze turning gloomy in an instant.
That night, she received a message with no context: "Do you like him that much, Sis?"
You Jia: ?
3.
Before they got together, You Jia thought Chen Yi was an iceberg that had been frozen for ten thousand years and could never melt.
After they got together, she realized he was a puppy who got his feelings hurt very easily.
When she left her phone on silent and didn't see his messages, he leaned against a wall with his eyes lowered and his voice muffled. "You didn't reply today, Sis. Do you think I talk too much...?"
When her leg injury flared up, he knelt on one knee and massaged it, the corners of his eyes red. "What did I do wrong? You're in so much pain, but you didn't even call me."
Late at night, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and nuzzled her neck, his voice hoarse. "Sis... look at me... just once, okay?"
You Jia: Weren't you supposed to be cold and aloof?

Dragged along to a school performance.
So noisy. Some fairy-like big sis, how boring.
Until the person onstage said, "Don't worry about what other people think. Just be yourself."
When I looked up, all I saw was her profile as she bowed.
Stole a sunflower from Old Xu's bouquet and gave it to her.
I heard her name was You Jia. What a pretty name.
[2020.7.28 Torrential Rain]
Something happened to her.
The news said the moon had fallen, and she would never dance again.
But I want to be the one who catches the moon.
I have to find her.
[2022.9.1 Sunny]
I found her. Her leg injury is much worse than the reports said.
I wanted to help her, but she chose that idiot instead.
Tsk. Not happy.
But it doesn't matter. At least I found her.
Now I can stay by my moon's side and help her shine again.
