Everyone at school knows that He Qingyu and Jiang Ci are bitter enemies who are as incompatible as fire and water.
They compete over everything and compare themselves at every turn. Whenever they meet, they trade barbs, always at each other's throats.
Everyone else thinks they can't stand each other. Only Jiang Ci knows that, amid all those daily clashes, he has quietly fallen for He Qingyu seven times.
When He Qingyu silently bent down and carried him during the sports meet, just as he was at his most disheveled;
On a night of pouring rain, when He Qingyu shared half his umbrella and quietly indulged him;
During an exam, when He Qingyu saw through his panic at a glance and silently let him get away with it;
In a game, when He Qingyu was steadfastly partial to him alone;
On the eve of their parting, when He Qingyu quietly took care of everything, hiding all his feelings and reluctance;
When they met again after a long separation, and Jiang Ci fell for him all over again at first sight;
The last time his heart stirred was beneath the streetlights on a long night, when He Qingyu shed every last bit of his sharpness and came straight to him, openly and without hesitation.
Back then, he competed at every turn just to get a little closer.
What was once a clash at every meeting became wholehearted devotion.
A secret crush endured for years, and a long-awaited reunion after countless twists and turns.
After seven heart-stirring moments, for all the years to come, his heart would be filled with you.
Theme: In their youth, they used clashes to hide their feelings and constant competition to conceal their secret joy. The gentle indulgence hidden in everyday bickering and opposition was the most clumsy and pure form of a young man's love. Following seven increasingly intense moments of falling in love, the story portrays two bitter enemies as they go through awkward testing of the waters, painful separation, and years of waiting. They overcome distance and misunderstandings, and after reuniting, shed every disguise and honestly make their way to each other.
This story depicts a restrained, long-held mutual crush in a school setting, capturing the denial and anxious care of young love. Though time and distance separate them, the devotion hidden in their hearts never fades. After seven moments of falling in love, they leave behind the sharp edges of youth and stay by each other's sides with the most sincere affection, proving that all their deliberate distancing and competing were, from the start, an open display of wholehearted joy.
