Gentle, sunny boy & lively, cheerful girl
He Jin's version: During the National Day holiday, He Jin had to submit an assignment online for the first time. Her group leader was Ren Changfeng. She did everything she could to submit it on time, but Ren Changfeng replied in a very official manner, so He Jin tried flattery, refusing to give up.
The second time they rotated group leaders, He Jin saw Ren Changfeng ask the class representative in the class chat to be her group leader again. This time, though, she hadn't finished the assignment.
The holiday ended, and there shouldn't have been anything more to it. But after the monthly exam at the start of term, they changed seats, and Ren Changfeng became her best friend Chu Ci's deskmate.
Then he became the boy sitting in front of her.
Ren Changfeng's version: My deskmate's best friend is interesting. She threw a candy at me, and that successfully got my attention.
…
Years later, He Jin dreamed of Ren Changfeng for the third time, thinking she must have been forgotten by now.
But Ren Changfeng said, “All I have sought in this life is to stay true to my ambitions and never let you down.” (Adapted from Cangyang Gyatso's “I will not let down the Tathagata, nor will I let you down.” No infringement intended.)
He was a tingling current in her youth, a light in the dim, gray years of high school, a legend at Lingyun Middle School. He was the one thing about Lingyun she never regretted. (Adapted from the lyrics: “You are electricity, you are light, you are the only legend.” No infringement intended.)
He was Changfeng, someone He Jin could not hold on to. But He Jin was deeply grateful that the wind had once blown her way.
Her best friend Chu Ci said, “Most of the time, you're pretty direct in what you say and do. But whenever Feng-ge is involved, you get all tongue-tied. Everyone eventually noticed. What can you do? We're all different when we're in love.”

Theme: However far the road may stretch, someone will come along to love you.
