Song Zhi kept a boy in her heart.

Everyone knew he fought, kept to himself, and liked to solve problems with his fists. They all thought he was good for nothing, destined to remain stuck in Yunwu, a little muddy backwater.

But Song Zhi discovered, quite by chance, that he had a broad heart. He was born to be a mountain, not a stream, but the mundane world had him trapped.

One evening, beneath a brilliant sunset, she told him that the waves at five in the afternoon could make a person's deepest, buried wish come true.

He didn't believe her and even mocked her, but still made a wish to the waves: that she would always stay by his side.

Later, after they parted, he stood on the endless shore through countless evenings, watching the distant waves roll toward him, and made the most painful wish with an empty heart: to see her one more time, just once.

Later still, at dusk, beneath the sunset, with the waves rolling in, the man who had always been carefree and untamed finally bowed his head.

The sea breeze brushed past the corners of his eyes, leaving traces of how much he missed her all over the world.

[The world is never kind to anyone, and your countless moments of tenderness mean more to me than any kindness the world could offer.]

Content warning: Angst in the middle. Read with caution!!!

“Born to be a mountain, not a stream” is a quote from Zhang Guimei, not my original line!

*Starts in school, then moves to the city. Lovers reunite after a breakup.

*Both leads are virgins, HE, and heal each other.

*The heroine falls first, and the hero loves her like crazy.

Next novel: Her Splendid Future

After being banned from racing, Pei Yan went abroad to clear his head. He met someone during his travels, and when it was time to part, he asked, “Can I get your contact information?”

“No.” Song Ci's eyes were cold as she turned him down politely. “Actually, I'm a nun. The temple gave me time off, so I came abroad to have some fun. When I get back, I have to go back to striking the wooden fish.”

The next day, she left without saying goodbye.

All his friends noticed something strange: that guy Pei, who had gone abroad to clear his head, came back having left his soul behind.

*

He saw Song Ci again in a hospital corridor back home, as a gurney raced past them.

She knelt beside a patient on the brink of death. Those hands that supposedly struck wooden fish were now fighting desperately against the Grim Reaper. Her white coat was spattered with bright, glaring red blood.

Pei Yan knew his soul had returned.

*

One day, the notorious Mr. Pei, who supposedly had no interest in women, began waiting outside the surgical department every other day. Rumors at the nurses' station spread and grew more outrageous by the day.

Song Ci walked up to him despite the gossip. “What exactly are you trying to do?”

“Pursue you.”

She kindly warned him, “I don't think you should be interested in me.”

Pei Yan raised an eyebrow. “Why not?”

Knowing her past could never match his, Song Ci made up a lie, hoping to drive him away. “There's someone I like.”

He shamelessly replied, “Great. I've never stolen someone's partner before. I want to try.”
