Cold River Meets Warm Sun

Xie Yunchuan is the most distant light in Xingyu Noble Middle School - he comes from a top wealthy family, his eyebrows are as cold as frost, he is withdrawn and world-weary, with the desolation of his original family hidden in his eyes, and he is lazy and perfunctory about everything around him. His father's licentiousness, his mother's forbearance and silence, and the endless struggle for interests in the family made him close his heart early on, believing that feelings were all subsidiary to interests, and never thought that he would have any other concerns about a person. Cheng Muyang was an exception who suddenly broke into this glitz - his family was poor, his father died young, he relied on his mother's needlework and his sister's hard-earned money to study hard, but he had a soft face, his eyes were filled with tiny lights, he always treated people with a gentle smile, and his grades were dazzling. The preference of his mother and sister gave him pure goodwill, but it also made him a little more timid and worried when facing the world's eyes. A grant for poor students allowed Cheng Muyang to transfer to Xingyu, where he unexpectedly became roommates with Xie Yunchuan and Li Shi'an. When they first met, Xie Yunchuan disliked his "poor air" and felt that his well-placed smile was hypocritical and dazzling, but he couldn't help but stare at the red tips of his ears and the shallow pear dimples; Cheng Muyang was in awe of Xie Yunchuan's coldness and took the initiative to say hello but was given a cold reception. He only felt that this rich young man was cold and arrogant. Only the gentle and considerate Li Shi'an could slightly alleviate his embarrassment. Two teenagers who grew up in completely different worlds, with their own prejudices and precautions, started a campus life together day and night. The gap in family background and the difference in growth experience caused them to constantly have collisions of ideas when they got along: Xie Yunchuan was used to pretending to be indifferent and did not know how to express concern, but he would subconsciously stand up for Cheng Muyang when he was laughed at; Cheng Muyang was used to being tolerant and accommodating, and felt inferior to his own origin, but he would clumsily extend warmth to Xie Yunchuan when he fell into the guilt of his native family. The trivial daily life broke each other's prejudices, and the ignorant heartbeat quietly grew. However, this cross-gender love made the two fall into unprecedented confusion and struggle. Xie Yunchuan has never doubted his own sexual orientation. When his heart beat out of control for Cheng Muyang, he panicked, evaded, and even used a more indifferent attitude to hide his true feelings. He was afraid that this "abnormal" relationship would become a weapon for his family to attack him, and he was even more afraid that he would repeat the same mistakes as his father; Cheng Muyang Mu Yang grew up in a traditional family environment and never thought that he would fall in love with a boy. He felt guilty and uneasy, worried that this relationship would disappoint the expectations of his mother and sister, and that he would be ostracized by his classmates and criticized by the world. For countless late nights, he struggled repeatedly and even thought about escaping. From mutual dislike to ignorance, from secret jealousy and sleeplessness to self-doubt and deliberate escape, from being bound by family and troubled by the world to letting go of arrogance and cowardice, the two teenagers saw their true hearts clearly during the struggle, and also understood the fragility and determination in each other's eyes. When the cold river meets the warm sun, gentle vines grow from the desolate hearts. They finally break through the worldly prejudices, break free from the shackles of family, put down all precautions, and bravely walk towards each other, turning their green love into the most passionate preference. Readers will truly feel the truest emotional ups and downs of the two teenagers between the lines, experience the impact of ideological concepts brought by different family backgrounds and social experiences, and witness them using courage to fight against confusion in their youth, and guarding each other's growth and love with sincerity.
