Peter Pan, Take Me Running Away from Earth Tonight

*A non-mainstream youth campus story about two people transmigrating into a book, wounds, and healing (not really)

[Gentle, manipulative, fatherly boyfriend x fiery, stubborn little cat]

[Shen Guangji x Song Bai]

When Song Bai was in his second year of high school, he fell into a river in the depths of winter.

They say he even stopped breathing for a moment on the way to the hospital.

Fortunately, they managed to save him.

Everyone said Song Bai was lucky to have survived.

Only Song Bai knew that wasn't true.

Song Bai... didn't have that kind of luck.

He moved out of his home and drifted through life in a daze.

Then, at the very end of summer vacation, a new neighbor moved in downstairs.

They said he was handsome and well-mannered.

Song Bai occasionally overheard a few words from the neighbors, but strangely, he never ran into the newcomer.

Until one stormy night, someone knocked at his door.

Dazed, he climbed out of the bathtub, hid his injured hand behind his back, and opened the door.

A tall, slender, handsome boy in a white shirt stood outside. He stared at Song Bai in surprise, then smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Can I help you?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to let you know that your bathroom seems to be leaking. You can ask the property manager to fix it tomorrow."

"Oh, and I baked these little cakes. Take some, if you don't mind."

Song Bai was slow to react from blood loss. It took him a long time to say, "...Thanks."

Then he closed the door.

In a lonely, absurd world in a book, where no one can fight against fate, two outsiders meet in summer.

In autumn, the boy hooks his finger with someone else's. Before winter arrives, they board a battered old bus.

They resist fate in a way that's insignificant yet resolute.

*The young man's escape is a breathtaking act of self-destruction. Everything after that is a new beginning.

A self-indulgent story, probably a 100,000-character happy-ending novella. Updates at night.

Theme: Life is brilliant. Hold on, and the spring flowers will bloom again and the swallows will return.
