The Third Spring at Four Seasons Hall

(My freshman-year course load is heavy, so updates may come at irregular times. Thank you for every encounter. All the best.)

(Updates Monday through Friday. No updates on weekends or holidays. Just enjoying my little corner.)

[Reader's Guide]

1. Both the top and the bottom are each other's first and only.

2. After Chapter One, aside from normal contact with family and friends, the top has no physical or emotional involvement with anyone of either sex except the bottom.

3. No rivalry between women, and no scenes where the top deliberately makes the bottom jealous or humiliates him.

4. The story focuses on ordinary daily life and is rather long-winded.

5. The bottom has no inferiority complex and never acts like a subordinate.

6. The top falls in love at first sight and is deeply lovestruck, but still rational.

7. The top is not a universally adored character and has no pursuers throughout the story. The bottom has some universally adored qualities and many pursuers. No pairings besides the main couple.

8. The story is fictional and has no real-world setting, except for a few locations.

9. The first half is told from the top's point of view and the second half from the bottom's. The characters receive different amounts of attention as the perspective changes. This isn't intentional on the author's part.

10. The leads aren't selfless saints. They have the desires and goals of ordinary people, rather than devoting themselves to the greater good of the world.

P.S.

(Top fans, please beware.)

(A work made to indulge the author's tastes. Just enjoying my little corner.)

[Provisional open ending]

From the first moment I saw you, I knew I would love you,

with a love like a beast, like a raging fire.

But this must not happen. It cannot.

The mountains will collapse, and I'll be left in pieces.

Crocodile Handbooks

The first time Chi Qingxu pursued Qi Yuan, he did so as his roommate.

Qi Yuan was always cold and distant in front of most people. Chi Qingxu, with his boundless enthusiasm, always thought he could melt the iceberg, until one day he saw a photo tucked discreetly into the last page of Qi Yuan's notebook

In the photo, Qi Yuan stood beside a young man, their hands clasped together, looking very close.

Chi Qingxu choked out, "A friend?"

Qi Yuan raised his eyes slightly, then suddenly had an idea. "My unrequited love."

Chi Qingxu: "?"

(He fell for him at first sight. He avoided him like the plague. One chased, one ran, but there was no escape.)

[Both each other's first and only + love at first sight + turning a straight man gay + rekindled love]

Sensitive, scheming, jealous, two-faced heir to a wealthy family who falls hard and makes the first move x cold, distant, sharp-tongued, avoidant bottom who doesn't realize he's in love

P.S. Not a school story. No switching tops.

"Thank you for showing me every spring day you once brought into my life. Port Schetman is buried in snow all year round. At last, it has welcomed the spring that belongs to it."

Theme: Time flies. Cherish every step along the way.
