Blurb:

A sweet, heartwarming campus romance.

1. Lin Jinshi agrees to look after her childhood friend, Li Qiyu, at someone's request.

After years apart, the sweet little boy she remembered, once as adorable as a doll, has become a gloomy, distant teenager.

Because Li Qiyu is so handsome, Lin Jinshi, who is a sucker for good looks, has already decided in her mind that he's a poor, lonely soul whose difficult background made him antisocial.

Looking at her stunningly beautiful friend, a sense of justice wells up in her heart: She'll protect him!

2. One day, rumors spread around class that they're dating.

Lin Jinshi denies it three times in a row: I'm not, I didn't, don't make things up.

Then she turns around and sees Li Qiyu gazing silently at her, a dark glint in his eyes.

The faint smile fades from his elegant, cool face as he murmurs, "That's not for you to decide."

3. "I know he's covered in old wounds from his past. I know shadows linger in his heart, and that it might be hard for him to open up to anyone. But I still want to wait for the day he can accept me completely." The girl's smile shines brightly, like the morning sun breaking through. "Because he's worth it."

*He stood for a long time in a dark, shadowy place. She took him by the hand and led him out, into the bright light,

like he had finally found salvation.

Cheerful little ray of sunshine X quiet, lonely boy

Blurb:

I. Yan Zhi and Wen Jingnan are the perfect couple in the eyes of everyone at their high school.

She's a talented girl, as serene as a chrysanthemum, while he's a handsome academic star.

As time goes by, even Yan Zhi, whose heart has always been as calm as still water, can't help being affected.

She thinks something might happen between her and Wen Jingnan.

That is, until a girl confesses to Wen Jingnan. After he turns her down, she asks, unwilling to give up:

"Why did you reject me? Is it because you like Yan Zhi?"

Wen Jingnan gives her a cold look. "Get lost."

It is the first time Yan Zhi has heard him speak so harshly.

He seems to think nothing of the answer.

Yan Zhi waits silently for them to leave before emerging, a little flustered.

She waits until the college entrance exams are over.

Then Wen Jingnan's good friend tells him to bring the girl he likes along on their graduation trip.

She hears his friend ask him directly:

"Don't you have a girl you like?"

"...No."

At that moment, Yan Zhi gives up the courage she has been building for so long.

II. Life is full of surprises.

The literary prodigy of their school days studies computer science and becomes a female programmer.

The cool, aloof academic star joins the army to serve his country.

After graduating from college, they meet again.

Wen Jingnan suddenly asks her to be with him.

Yan Zhi is taken aback, yet for some reason, she doesn't want to turn him down.

But what she says is, "We... aren't right for each other, are we?"

He gazes deeply at her, his low voice rich and magnetic. "How will we know unless we try?"

Yan Zhi falls silent for a long time.

Deep in her heart, a voice tells her that he could be the one person who can make her feel safe.

She looks up at him, her gaze unwavering. "Marriage, then. Do you dare?"

The courage she'd lost all those years ago surges back like a rising tide, and the years that slipped away crash through her like a storm.

Wen Jingnan's sculpted, handsome face remains calm and composed. His throat moves slightly before he lets out a long, sigh-like, "All right."

III. On a tender night, he kisses her forehead reverently.

"In this life, you are the second of my two faiths."
