"Frost on Jin"
A fire seven years ago burned away Jiang Si's childhood and burned out the only line between her and Xie Jinyi. The little girl who always grabbed the hem of her clothes and softly called her "Sister Jinjin" was never heard from again.
Seven years later, on the campus of University A. Nineteen-year-old Jiang Si is a well-known "mad dog" in the Department of Architecture - he dyes his hair, wears earrings, is taciturn, and is proficient in fighting and skipping classes. She couldn't remember who she was, she only vaguely knew that she was missing a big piece. The only thing that could soothe her anxious nerves was the faint smell of mint in the air.
Twenty-two-year-old Xie Jinyi was admitted to this school for no other reason than to fulfill what Jiang Si said back then, "I want to come to A University to see the scenery." She had been looking for him for seven years, but she never expected that when she saw him again, he would be completely unrecognizable, and even the way he looked at her looked completely strange and aggressive.
But Jiang Si recognized her.
The breath that has been rooted in the bone marrow since childhood is like a rusty key, accurately poking open the sealed memories. She didn't dare to recognize each other - she was afraid that she would be covered in mud and pollute the only white moonlight, and she was afraid that taking a step closer would drag that clean light into darkness. So she chose the clumsiest way to get close to her: grabbing her seat, stealing her mints, huddled downstairs in her dormitory on a rainy night, and trading scars all over her body for a reason to be admitted.
"I'm not clean... I don't deserve to look at you..."
"Why are you so dirty? You are Jiang Si, that's enough."
When the thick ice shell finally cracked, and when Jiang Si tremblingly spread out the obsidian earrings he had treasured for seven years in his palm, Xie Jinyi only said one sentence -
"Jiang Si, I claim you."
From then on, a man who was gloomy and cruel to the outside world and addicted to paranoia inside, and a gentle and firm Shou who was willing to be her only anchor, wrote the craziest and purest redemption in the ivory tower. She uses violence to enclose the ground, and she uses gentleness to break the situation. She is afraid of the dark, she is the light.
"I used to think the world was just gray noise, until you showed up and turned it into silent mode for me."
——You are the only way back to where I will spend my whole life crawling out of the ruins.
Intent: "Those who have been abandoned by the world deserve to be solemnly claimed by someone." Love is not about repairing broken people and then accepting them, but holding the pieces together into your arms.
