Synopsis
Shen Suizhi is a little sun wrapped in warmth and love and grew up. The harmonious family atmosphere has made her the brightest. She has warm milk from her mother in the morning, interesting stories from her father before going to bed, and she can receive tolerance with a smile even when she gets into trouble. This unique pampering has allowed her to develop a cheerful character to the core. When she smiles, her pear curls are shallow, and the ends of her eyes are curved into gentle crescents, as if even the air becomes sweet. She always wears a high ponytail and wears a clean school uniform. She will take the initiative to help her classmates with lectures during class. She will squat down to feed stray cats when she sees them on the way to school. Even if she bumps into a junior student who is being bullied, she will stand up to protect him without hesitation and give him a sweet strawberry hard candy to comfort him. On the campus of No. 1 Middle School, Shen Suizhi is like a moving light source. Wherever she goes, there is warmth that dispels the gloom. But Qi Yangyan's youth was always immersed in endless darkness. When his parents divorced, he was only ten years old. Looking at his mother who slammed the door and his father who drank all day long, there was only cold silence in the empty house. From that day on, his world lost its color: cold takeout was the norm, and he was only accompanied by the ticking of the clock late at night. Countless sleepless nights, despair overwhelmed him like a tide, and he had the idea of "just forget it" time and time again. After entering high school, he became the most silent presence on campus, always walking alone, wearing a washed-white school uniform, with alienation and exhaustion in his eyes that did not match his age, like a forgotten weed in a corner that was about to wither, struggling in the desolation that no one cares about. The turning point of fate happened in the late autumn of my sophomore year in high school. After school that day, Shen Suizhi was chatting and joking with her friends under the sycamore tree next to the playground. She accidentally dropped the notebook in her hand and rolled it to the feet of Qi Yangyan who was passing by. He subconsciously bent down to pick it up. The moment his fingertips touched the paper, he raised his head and ran into Shen Suizhi's clear and bright eyes. "Thank you, classmate!" The girl's voice was as clear as a wind chime, and she smiled and handed him an orange-flavored candy, "This is for you, please~" That was Qi Yangyan's first close contact with such warmth. He clutched the candy that was still warm and looked at Shen Suizhi's back as she left chatting and laughing with her friends. A certain corner of his heart that had been frozen for a long time seemed to be loosened. From then on, he began to subconsciously pay attention to this little sun-like girl: he saw her reading seriously in the library, saw her cheering for her classmates at the sports meeting, and saw her holding an umbrella on a rainy day and taking a detour to send her classmates home. Gradually, Shen Suizhi also noticed Qi Yangyan who was always alone. She discovered that this seemingly indifferent boy actually had an unknown tenderness - he would silently pick up stationery dropped by others in the corridor, would leave his only umbrella to a strange classmate on a rainy day, and run away in the rain. So she took the initiative to drag him into her circle of friends, shared with him the book she had compiled on wrong questions, and made appointments to go to the library to study together on weekends. She even ran across the street in the cold wind to buy antipyretics for him when he was sick and had a fever. The appearance of Shen Suizhi was like a beam of light that broke into Qi Yangyan's gloomy life. She brought him to experience the warmth he had never experienced before, taught him to feel the small beauties in life, and made him understand that there are people in this world who truly care about him and care about him. With her company, the gloom in Qi Yangyan's eyes gradually dissipated, a smile began to appear on his face, and his whole person became cheerful. He began to study hard and no longer gave up on himself, because he wanted to become better and be able to protect this light that illuminated his life. From then on, Shen Suizhi became the only light in his desolate life. It was all the faith that supported him to persist when he wanted to give up countless times. It was the salvation that he never wanted to let go in this life. He wrote her name on every page of his notebook, carefully collected the candies she sent, and engraved every moment related to her deep in his heart. "Suizhi," Qi Yangyan stood in front of her on a starry night with firm and serious eyes, "Before I met you, I thought my life would only be darkness. It was you who gave me the courage and meaning to live. For the rest of my life, I want to keep you by my side and never let go." Concept: In the haze of youth, the little sun redeems the gloomy young man
