Blurb:

I. Yan Zhi and Wen Jingnan were considered a match made in heaven by everyone at their high school.

One was a talented girl, as serene as a chrysanthemum; the other, a handsome academic prodigy.

As time went by, even Yan Zhi, whose heart had always been still as water, was affected.

She thought something might happen between her and Wen Jingnan.

Until a girl confessed to Wen Jingnan. When he turned her down, she asked unwillingly:

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

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

It was the first time Yan Zhi had heard him speak so harshly.

It sounded as if he disdained the very suggestion.

Yan Zhi waited silently for them to leave before emerging, somewhat awkwardly.

She waited until after the college entrance exams.

Wen Jingnan's good friend told him to bring the girl he liked along on their graduation trip.

She heard his good friend ask him with her own ears:

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

"...No."

At that moment, Yan Zhi gave up the courage she'd been building for so long.

II. Life is unpredictable.

The literary prodigy became a computer science major and then a programmer.

The cool-headed academic star joined the military to serve his country.

After graduating from university, they met again.

Wen Jingnan suddenly suggested they get together.

Yan Zhi was surprised, but for some reason, she didn't want to refuse.

But what came out of her mouth was, "We... aren't right for each other, are we?"

He looked at her deeply, his low voice resonant. "How will we know if we don't try?"

Yan Zhi was silent for a long time.

Deep in her heart, a voice told her that he was the one person who could make her feel safe.

She raised her head to look at him, without the slightest hint of retreat in her eyes. "Marriage. Do you dare?"

The courage that had vanished years ago surged back like a tide. The years that had passed churned up a storm.

Wen Jingnan's handsome, sculpted face remained calm and composed. His throat moved slightly, and he let out a long sigh before saying, "All right."

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

"In this life, you are my second and only other faith."
