Some people say that youth is like a green apple.
It looks green and attractive, but when you bite it, it is so sour that you frown. Only a few people can wait until the moment it is ripe to taste the insignificant sweetness.
Zhan Hongcheng felt like he was that rotten apple that no one wanted, wallowing in the mud and wasting his time in the smoke of the toilet.
Until that day, Chen Huanwen pushed the door open and pierced his turbid world like a ray of light.
Chen Huanwen is the flower of the high mountains that the whole school looks up to. He is perfect, restrained and unreachable.
No one knows how this high-altitude flower peeled off Zhan Hongcheng's disguise bit by bit in the dark corner, and tightly grasped his soot-stained collar with hands accustomed to holding pens and scepters.
"Zhan Hongcheng, you can rot in the mud, but you must rot next to me."
It's a game of waiting and taming.
It starts with sourness and ends with deep love.
Concept: Love is not an instant magic, but a long ripening process. The story explores how two teenagers learn to tolerate, understand and take responsibility in the sour collision, and finally overcome the pain of youth and taste the hard-won "return" that belongs to each other.
