Jiang Yumeng was the most eye-catching person at Lucheng No. 1 High School. She was strikingly beautiful, passionate and openhearted, and everyone called her "Sister Meng."
But the young heiress had a secret: she was afraid of ghosts and the dark.
The day Xia Zhenchuan transferred in, he was so quiet he was almost invisible. The only ones he approached on his own were the stray cats in a corner of the sports field.
No one expected Jiang Yumeng to slap a handful of lemon candies into his palm and laugh, bright and clear. "What are you spacing out for?"
That candy became the only light in Xia Zhenchuan's youth. He hid all the love he didn't dare to confess in one sleepless night after another.
But youth always comes to an end. She was a moon he could never reach; he was a river sinking into the long night.
Years later, two rising stars suddenly appeared in the business world. People called them "Jiang of the South, Chuan of the North."
Everyone was convinced they were bitter rivals, completely at odds.
Until, at a press conference, Xia Zhenchuan spoke into the cameras, his voice low but clear:
"This river won't flow into the sea. Its tributaries converge with the Southern River."
The whole room erupted. But he looked only at Jiang Yumeng in the audience, his eyes reddening as he held out his hand to her.
Jiang Yumeng looked at him with her clear, beautiful eyes for a long time, long enough for the media to think she was about to turn him down.
The next moment, she suddenly smiled and reached out to take his hand.
"I look forward to working with you."
So the fiercest business battle of all was turning a boy's secret crush into a love poem about mountains and rivers.
One day after they were married, Jiang Yumeng was traveling abroad and impulsively called him early in the morning.
There was a rustling on the other end. The man had just been woken up, his voice thick with sleep. "Hello..."
She spoke with a mischievous laugh. "I called... to check up on you!"
"I miss you too."
Sunlight and his lazy voice came through together, unbearably warm.
The tributaries surged onward, and at last came the day of return. The love that had never been named finally found an answer.
