[A romance-focused story, with romance making up 60%]
[Younger woman, one-on-one, happy ending, primarily told from the pursuing partner’s perspective]
Three years after they parted, when Jiang Xiyue saw Duan Pingsan again, her heart still skipped a beat.
She didn’t ask why Duan had left without a word back then, nor did she cling to her leg and burst into tears like a child.
She swallowed her tumultuous longing and calmly greeted her.
She could keep her longing in check, but her actions, words, and expression all screamed that she was falling apart.
It was only when Senior Duan followed her all the way to her dormitory that her longing began to surge back. Jiang Xiyue said something she would never normally say:
“Why turn down what’s offered to you, only to insist on getting it reluctantly? Senior, you really do have niche tastes.”
Before meeting Jiang Xiyue, Duan Pingsan was severely allergic to romance.
She was warm and courteous, and handled everything with care and attention to detail.
Though she was always slow to warm up in relationships, her beauty and academic achievements earned her more than 7,000 votes in a student poll, making her the undisputed beauty and top student of Nanning No. 1 High School.
For Duan Pingsan, going abroad had not been her only option, but it was the best one for everyone involved.
That is, until one late night, she listened to a stranger’s confession and drank herself into a stupor alone in a bar.
Only then did she realize just how badly she had been wrong back then.
Sensitive and radiant Jiang & slow-to-warm, gentle Duan
You are my carefree joy, and the beginning of all that comes after.
P.S. 1. The story includes flashbacks to their school days, making up 40% of the story. They’ll be marked in the title.
2. Some characters who appear in the flashbacks will also appear later in the story.
3. The pairing stays together, with no role reversal.
