A Salt-Flavored Love Letter

[Complete]

School setting at first, then urban setting. The female lead is Shu Shu.

1. After Shu Shu rescues a mute girl, Shen Wuyu, who tried to drown herself, she discovers that the two look almost exactly alike.

One wants to go to a big city to find her mother; the other is terrified of living with school bullying.

So they trade identities and lives.

After Shu Shu takes Shen Wuyu's place at school, rumors begin to spread: the mute girl Shen Wuyu, who has never said a word, has been teased into speaking by the grade's top dog, Xie Jingyan!

The timid, self-conscious Shen Wuyu, who has been weak since childhood, took a six-month leave of absence after being bullied at school.

When she returns, she's become a completely different person...

She can punch a bowl-sized hole in a tree, kick over a PE teacher with a taekwondo black belt, and polish off every spicy snack in the convenience store in one sitting.

She also gives Xie Jingyan, the boy she used to have a crush on, the cold shoulder.

Xie Jingyan: Didn't you used to say you wanted to do homework with me every day? Come on.

The little mute: (shouting) In your dreams!

2. Xie Jingyan skips class, gets into fights, and acts like nothing matters. Nobody can control him.

Years later, he reunites with the mute girl from back then. He grabs her ponytail in a fit of pique, pulling her down onto his lap. "I'll admit defeat, all right?"

[Side Story]

One day, Xie Jingyan happens to spot the mute girl who once gave him a love letter, talking to herself by a wall.

He walks over in shock.

The mute girl turns and sees his expression. With a look of disdain, she says, "Don't you dare pin me against the wall and kiss me. That's so unoriginal."

It isn't until later, after she runs away and Xie Jingyan finds her again, that the mute girl discovers just how audacious his ideas can be.

*Rebellious school king + adorable sweetheart*

*An exquisite love story about a school king who admits defeat and fills an entire book with the name of the girl he likes, only to discover she isn't even called that.*

Blurb:

Ning Qian had a crush on Jiang Zhuo while they were in school. She tasted every kind of sweetness and sorrow, and gave him her whole heart.

Then, at the graduation banquet for their teachers, the lights suddenly went out. In the darkness, Jiang Zhuo pulled Ning Qian into his arms, held her chin, and kissed her.

With her heart pounding, she thought her secret love had finally come true.

But when the lights came back on, she saw the confusion and bewilderment in Jiang Zhuo's eyes and realized he'd kissed the wrong person.

That night, Ning Qian secretly cried until she was drenched in tears.

Years later, at a class reunion, they play Truth or Dare. Asked what she most regrets from her school days, Ning Qian answers without joy or sorrow: "I regret crying over someone on graduation day."

Everyone urges her to name the person, but Ning Qian says nothing, and the subject is dropped.

After another round, a once-famous school king finally loses.

Someone asks him, "Jiang Zhuo, a golden boy like you must have nothing to regret from your school days, right?"

Jiang Zhuo is even more handsome and commanding than he was as a teenager, but his eyes hold a trace of helplessness. His reply is laden with meaning.

"I do. I regret making someone cry."

*What left me endlessly yearning wasn't time itself, but you, lingering in its embrace.*

Side Story:

The two meet again and wake up together after a night of drinking.

Jiang Zhuo softly calls Ning Qian, "Darling."

But Ning Qian looks just as confused and bewildered as Jiang Zhuo did after their kiss all those years ago. "You?!"

Jiang Zhuo: ...

#My wife can wait ten years to get her revenge.#

Happy ending.
