Qiao Yunzhi's childhood friend, Su Heng, was the light of her life.
She had loved writing since she was little. She always poured her girlish thoughts into her words. And he could always read her insecurity, her struggles, and her dreams.
He was her first reader. He even smiled and promised that once she became a great author, he'd buy a whole bookcase of her books.
But he broke his promise, dying on the day they finished their college entrance exams at eighteen. And she was trapped in that same day, trying ten times to save him and failing every time.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to her teenage years. She swore she would make sure he survived.
But he was no longer her reader. Now he only called her Classmate Qiao, polite and distant, as if he'd forgotten all the days they'd spent together
Until she opened his diary:
[I'm afraid she'll be isolated again. I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything again.]
[It hurts. The bathroom stinks. The alley is filthy. But at least I bought the same body wash as her.]
[If I smell like her, it doesn't hurt anymore.]
Qiao Yunzhi hugs the T-shirt he left behind, her heart pounding.
What a creep. Why didn't he just say anything?
But now she wants to save him even more.
She has to make sure he lives past the summer he turns eighteen.

Su Heng loves every story Qiao Yunzhi writes: free, lighthearted, and full of fantasy. They're the only painkiller he has when he's been beaten black and blue.
As their author, she's passionate and fiery. She takes the punches he's grown used to, and looks straight at the scars on his waist.
She should leave this small county and go to university. He has a worthless life and won't survive past eighteen.
To keep himself from longing for her, he has to push her away.
But she pins him to the ground instead:
"I've never thought you were a burden, big brother."
So that's...how she feels.
His eyes fill with tears, his lips trembling. But she turns and walks away.
On a snowy night, he knocks on her door.
He's wearing a carefully chosen maid outfit, looking at her timidly.
"Please take care of me."
"I can't keep going... Yunyun."
Actually, he wants to live, and walk with her into the summer of their eighteenth year.
Even if he has begun to suspect that the girl before him isn't the version of her from this world.
Reading guide 🐈⬛:
1. A literary-minded, lovestruck girl x an innocent, perverted boy. Both chaste. They only get together as adults. Includes some mystery elements, but at its core, it's about two devoted people saving each other.
2. Happy ending (a little reassurance for you)
Theme: We strive not to change the world, but to keep the world from changing us
Looking forward to further development!!!
The beginning is too confusing. .
