First love on campus | Reconciliation after a breakup | Happy ending | A slow-burning romance
Jiang Chi took one look at Shen Yan and immediately disliked him.
He picked fights with him, blocked his way, and deliberately made him angry. He even said things he would later regret.
Back then, he didn't know that the more you care about someone else's opinion of you, the easier it is to mistake affection for dislike.
By the time he finally admitted he liked Shen Yan, he'd already been in love with him for a long time.
Shen Yan was the complete opposite.
Abandoned as a child, he was adopted, then sent back time and again. He didn't return to his birth parents until he was sixteen. After gaining and losing too much, he'd long since learned not to expect anything or hold on to anyone.
Yet Jiang Chi barged right into his life.
Loud, brash, awkward, and incapable of hiding any of his feelings.
At first, he was nothing but a nuisance.
Little by little, though, he became the person Shen Yan could least ignore.
At seventeen, they fell in love for the first time.
Back then, they thought there was nothing all that special about being in love.
They thought that as long as they loved each other, they would never drift apart.
Only later did they learn that loving someone and staying with them for the long haul were two different things.
Years later, when they met again, Jiang Chi could still pick Shen Yan out of a crowd at a glance.
And Shen Yan finally understood that some losses could be endured.
But not losing some people.
First love for both, one-on-one romance, happy ending.
Young love, separation, and reunion after many years.
Theme: At eighteen, they thought love was a small thing. Only later did they realize it was the only thing that mattered for a lifetime.
