Shu Song had a crush on someone in high school.
Or maybe it didn't even qualify as a crush.
It was hard for anyone who'd ever met him not to like him.
Class notes, homework problems she couldn't solve, book boxes too heavy to carry.
He never turned down anything he could help with.
A favored son of heaven, modest and courteous, always smiling.
In her senior year, when Lin Yuebai graduated,
she stood by the classroom window, watching the seniors gradually disappear into the crowd.
At the time, Shu Song thought:
She would probably never meet anyone more gentle than him.
Time passed.
Shu Song graduated with a doctorate from a prestigious university and began an internship under a renowned professor.
Her studies were going well, her family was well off, and she had a happy life.
But in the quiet of late evening,
she would always open the public account of the university forum she'd been following for a long time.
Again and again, she searched for the name she remembered.
There was no trace of him.
After the favored son of heaven left high school,
he never appeared before anyone again.
Late at night, while working overtime,
an emergency came in at the hospital. She steadied her tired body and asked the nurse beside her:
"How's the patient?"
"He cut his wrists at home. A worker who'd come to fix a leak found him."
She acknowledged the nurse and went over to help.
But when her eyes swept across the figure on the hospital bed, she froze in place.
Lin Yuebai.
Long time no see.
-
Both leads are devoted to each other, and each other's first love. Happy ending.
