[One]
Yan Chen fell for Shen Yuan when she was seventeen. To pursue him, she dyed her hair back to black, combed half the city for the CDs he liked, stayed up all night to grab tickets to his favorite band's concerts, and traveled with him across much of China to see them.
At last, she heard Shen Yuan say those three words: "I love you."
But the very next day, she left without a word.
[Two]
Shen Yuan, the heartthrob of Sichuan University, wears a white shirt all year round, whatever the weather. Word is, it's because his ex-girlfriend loved seeing him in one.
Someone once asked him to his face about his ex, "If you love her so much, why did you break up?"
Shen Yuan's thin lips pressed into a straight line, a storm gathering in his eyes. He smiled, restrained yet charming. "Because... she died."
[Three]
A temporary worker starts at a milk tea shop at Sichuan University. With her bold purple hair, she strums her guitar and sings "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies." Her voice is husky, yet strangely captivating.
When Shen Yuan walks in with a junior from his department, the girl behind the counter stares at him, stunned for a long moment. Later, egged on by the crowd, she sings a Cantonese song.
/But I will become
The woman you care for most
Day after day, night after night, I'll make you
Wonder how to tame me/
Shen Yuan, usually so composed and restrained, advances toward her step by step under everyone's gaze. His eyes redden. He throws a punch past her face, hitting the table behind her. Staring at her across the guitar, he speaks through a trembling voice, one word at a time: "Yan Chen, you did it."
Every day and night since you left, I've been going mad.
The year Yan Chen left, Shen Yuan found a greeting card in the spring snow. Its surface was covered in footprints, and its writing was wild and bold: [If we can't love each other forever, then I'll make sure you never forget me.]

△Lu Siyue's novel "Lonely Planet" is on my author page. Please add it to your favorites!
The day Li Xichen met Lu Siyue was the first time she'd left her home in three months of shutting herself away from the world.
Holding her "stockpile" at her door, she knocked tentatively, then asked, "Hello? Is anyone there?"
Ten seconds passed. No answer.
She pulled her keys from her coat pocket, only to find them missing. As she searched, she heard metal clink behind her. "Yours?"
That day, Lu Siyue wore a rumpled shirt and reeked of alcohol, leaning against the wall as if he had no bones.
Li Xichen was so frightened that her hand shook as she took the keys. In the end, Lu Siyue was the one who opened the door for her.
After living there for two months, Lu Siyue knew that the young woman lived alone.
-
The second time they met, Lu Siyue was still wearing the white coat he'd had no chance to take off. He was checking the pipes for leaks at home when he passed Li Xichen's door.
The gentle young woman stood in the hallway, looked up at him, and asked through her tears, "Could I borrow a hug?"
Before she'd even finished speaking, she clung to him as if he were the last lifeline in the world.
Lu Siyue's hand, suspended in the air, patted her shoulder.
Only much later did Li Xichen learn that on the day they first met, a patient Lu Siyue had been treating for a year had been rushed to the hospital for a stomach pumping, but it was too late. The patient died on their twenty-third birthday.

Their story has ups and downs and Yan Chen's adversity is the best outcome. The last chapter of Qin Xing's story is heartbreaking. The secret love is so painful. She took the initiative so much for her love when she was young. But Yu Qingyou is not a worthy person. I am very curious about what he has experienced from high school to college. He has changed so much. He is no longer the person Xing Xing liked at the beginning. Ten years later, Yan Chen and Shen Yuan reunited, but Qin Xing devoted her youth to a lesson in getting love. ——2022.1.24.12:00
Finished with flowers~ Shocked, Xingxing's CP turned out to be He Yumian. I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it. Yu Qingyou is a real scumbag, he should also understand his feelings for Xingxing. When he was with Qiao Mingyue, he fell in love with Xingxing. +1 For mental cheating; he clearly knew that he had feelings for Xingxing, and maybe he also felt Xingxing's liking for him very early on. After all, he was a veteran in love, but every time he got a girlfriend, he asked Xingxing to have dinner together, and he changed girlfriends quickly. This made Xingxing feel cold. What did he mean by doing this?
Ah, Xingxing's CP turned out to be Teacher He!!!
Stars are probably the most real
Happy ending!! The stars will also have their best destination
I feel so bad for Cen Xing... But the ending is very good. I like it very much. Yu Qingyou is very much like one of my boy-haired children. He is also like this with my other girl-haired child. Fortunately, she is as sober as Cen Xing. Fortunately, they are happy now, which is great! Although the man used to be a jerk to the woman, they have a good relationship as friends and often help each other. As their mutual friends, I really admire them both.
It's really hard to have a secret love
There will be people who love the stars well!!!
I also want to watch Cen Xing's extras!!! Yan Zai woo woo woo
It was well written and very immersive. I was almost pissed off by Ah Chen in the middle.
