[Campus] Green Ivy

Campus to city life | The proud one bows his head | Blunt, straightforward leads | Bittersweet healing Loving Lin Guangyi is as natural to Xia Anchen as breathing. She studies him, follows him, and gives him the deepest understanding and admiration she can offer, placing him somewhere sacred and untouchable. Until Xiang Yang abruptly shatters that habit. He suddenly barges into her shrine of unrequited love, relentlessly pursuing her, unwilling to give up and closing in on her step by step. “Xia Anchen, do you really like him that much?” Xiang Yang looks down at her, struggling to keep his voice steady, but unable to hide the heartbreak in his eyes. “You like him, but you don’t even dare ask him a single question. Do you really like getting carried away with your own feelings that much?” She looks at him expressionlessly. “Who I like and how I like them is my business.” Xiang Yang suddenly laughs, as if he has finally given up hope. “Fine. Then liking you is my business, too. You can’t stop me.” Years later, even when Xia Anchen gets another call from Xiang Yang, she never imagines they might still have a future together. After all, he once told her they had never been friends. He was sincere and passionate, proud and dazzling, worthy of the purest, most flawless love, not someone like her, who had once loved somebody else. If they weren’t friends, she shouldn’t bother him. But when he braves the wind and snow to fly to Denver, she can’t help reaching out to brush the white frost from his eyelashes as she watches the fine sheen of sweat at his temple. She suddenly comes to her senses and tries to pull her hand back, but Xiang Yang catches it in his. “Xia Anchen, this time I’m not imagining things, am I?” Before he met Xia Anchen, Xiang Yang never imagined he could fall so many times for one person in his life. She has put his heart through the wringer, yet he still won’t let go. Even his friends suspect he has a masochistic streak. Xiang Yang can’t be bothered to explain. They don’t understand that you don’t need a reason to love the sun.
