Lovers on the Bridge

The full story is complete.

---Second Draft Blurb---

This is a story about growing up.

It's about young people with different growing pains stumbling their way toward adulthood.

Qin Xihe: Sometimes the world is very different from what we see, remember, and imagine. But we don't cross the sea of life alone. There is also the light of hope, a helping hand, and an oar wielded with courage and fearlessness.

Zhang Ruoyi: I can't tell illusion from reality, or the world from a dream. When he let go of my hand and extinguished the light that guided me, I still had the courage and strength he gave me.

A warrior woman fighting a terrible illness + a sweet little story of warm companionship = a future we'll face together.

This isn't your average sweet romance. There's a bit of everything inside.

---Original Blurb---

Years later, Zhang Ruoyi would still dream of that boy who was like the wind.

On a bridge, he gave her a sprig of foxtail grass. By the river, he showed her the vast starry sky. At a fireworks display, he stole her keys. And when heavy snow sealed off the mountain, he held her tight in the back seat of a car and said over and over, "I love you."

They say you shouldn't meet someone you love too deeply when you're young, because it will use up all your luck in love for the rest of your life. But Zhang Ruoyi felt that her heart, lungs, and very soul had all gone with him to the ends of the underworld. All that remained was a corpse, barely clinging to life, and the only reason she stayed alive was that he had told her, "Keep living."

Theme: When we are young, we still have the strength to grow.
