[Blurb]

Han Yan will never forget that snowy night. Deep in an alley, beneath the dim yellow streetlights, a smear of crimson on a man's fingertips blurred her vision.

She tried to hurry away, but he mischievously tugged out her earbud and blocked her path at the roadside, leaving her nowhere to go.

"Give me a ride."

"I'm not a bad person."

Han Yan thought their brief encounter would end there, and they would never meet again.

But he came looking for her, gripping her hand and pulling her into his arms. His lips curled into a casual smile, and his voice, cool yet captivating, fell by her ear.

He told her, "Han Yan, you can't escape me."

Chi Ye, from the School of Information Security, is unruly and laid-back, yet restrained and courteous with others, always knowing where to draw the line.

Countless girls have had crushes on him, but no one has ever heard of him falling for anyone.

Until one day, a black woven bracelet with a little rabbit on it appeared on his wrist.

In a private room at a bar, amid the shifting, disorienting lights, his friend spotted it and teased him. "Well, when did our young master Chi develop such a cute taste?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chi Ye lounged lazily on the sofa, took a casual sip of his drink, and smirked. "Can't help it. My girlfriend insists I wear it. I have no choice but to obey."

Everyone else in the room: ???

The usually detached and laid-back guy is showing off his relationship?

*

For ten years, Chi Ye has been searching for someone, someone who would comfort him in a childish voice when he was lonely and afraid, saying, "Don't be scared. I'm here."

At last, on a snowy night, he found that person.

He devoted all his energy and strength to making his way toward her, one step at a time, until he was by her side.

One night after they got together, Chi Ye watched the girl sleeping beside him. His gaze was tender as he carefully kissed her forehead again and again, murmuring with all the love in his heart:

"It's been ten years, Yanyan. At last, my wish has come true."

On the day Jiang Ning hurriedly moved out of Tong'an City, she packed up everything and left it at an uncle's house.

Everything, that is, except the things related to Song Yuanye.

She carried a box full of girlish secrets connected to him as she traveled from the south to the north.

Jiang Ning thought the box would never see the light of day again.

But much later, the person she had longed for over eight years opened the box, along with the secret she had buried in her heart. At last, her unrequited love saw the light of day.

·

When you're young, almost everyone has someone they yearn for day and night. Jiang Ning was no exception.

From the moment she was knocked to the ground and Song Yuanye, passing by, reached out to her, someone had taken up residence in her heart.

But back then, Song Yuanye was the brightest star in school: proud and flamboyant, carefree and irreverent, the darling of everyone around him.

Jiang Ning didn't dare approach him. She became a coward in love.

Until one time, when Jiang Ning and Song Yuanye unexpectedly drew a couple's script during a murder mystery game with their friends.

Using the script as an excuse, she mustered the greatest courage of her life and confessed to him.

But everyone thought her words were part of the game, and they were swallowed up in the commotion without a trace.

Years later, beneath a summer sky filled with fireflies, Song Yuanye and Jiang Ning sat side by side. He asked, seemingly offhand, "Do you remember what you said to me when we played that murder mystery game?"

Jiang Ning looked up at the twinkling stars and nodded softly.

"At the time, I thought it was just part of the script, so I didn't take it seriously. What I really wanted to ask was..." Song Yuanye paused.

Jiang Ning's breath caught. She turned to look at him and fell into his tender gaze.

She heard him say, "Would it still count if I answered you now?"

"You were so brave back then. Now, Jiang Ning, it's my turn to tell you I love you."

Whenever people in town heard the name Nan Yu, they all shook their heads.

They thought she was the most troublesome girl in town, a typical bad girl.

Everyone avoided her, except for one person, who came to her side without hesitation.

That day, the neon lights behind her were painfully bright. Nan Yu was crouching on a mound of rubble.

She took out a cigarette, but before she could light it, she heard footsteps beside her. She looked up out of habit and saw a tall, slender boy standing backlit.

He squatted down, his eyes lowered indifferently, his expression listless. He took out a lighter and held the flame to her cigarette.

Then he took the cigarette from her fingers and inhaled. The smoke made him cough; frowning, he passed it back to her and looked up at her calmly.

"From now on, whenever you want to smoke, I'll keep you company."

Nan Yu stared at his pale face in amusement. She ran a hand through her beautifully curled hair and scoffed. "You? Can you handle it?"
