Regular updates on weekdays, and irregular chapters on weekends.
When Shen Ruofei was a junior in college, as a hard-working and top-notch student in his major, he won a three-and-a-half-year exchange student spot to study design at USC. From under the plane trees in Shanghai to the Santa Monica beach in Los Angeles, after graduation, I returned to China and opened a boutique in Shanghai called "Jet Difference", deconstructing freedom step by step.
I thought I would be lonely during those years overseas, with no one caring about me except my host family.
Until Lu Zechuan appeared.
He is a "weed" who has been immersed in the United States since he was a child. His parents are both Chinese, but he was born in the United States. After graduating from The Harvard WestLake School, he was admitted to UCLA to study law. He took every step step by step and remained calm and self-possessed.
The sunshine in Los Angeles is always generous, whether it is under the bronze statue of the Trojans at the University of Southern California (USC) or next to the Bruins Bears at UCLA.
Shen Ruofei always thought that her and Lu Zechuan's life trajectories, just like these two prestigious schools separated by a Sunset Boulevard, were natural "rivals" and would always be parallel.
An accidental revisit to an old place in Los Angeles, or a reunion on a rainy night in Shanghai. She wore a dress of her own design, and he wore a suit and ties.
When the silk of the East meets the tailoring of the West, when the enthusiasm of USC meets the rationality of UCLA.
We grew up on opposite sides of the world, but found our home in each other's eyes.
Concept: The earth is round and we will meet eventually
