[Urban Romance]
In high school, Tao Zhiwan was sensitive, reserved, well-behaved, and quiet, like a lonely, still cloud in the sky, always overlooked.
In high school, Jiang Yuan was adored by everyone, domineering and flamboyant, with the cold, arrogant face of a “school heartthrob.” Wherever he went, he drew the attention of every girl in school.
No one could have imagined that two people so different would become involved in private.
In the quiet study room, Jiang Yuan pulled the school uniform off his head and opened his sleepy eyes. The first thing he saw was her delicate, serene profile as she sat reading quietly.
Unable to resist, he leaned over and kissed her.
She promised they would be together after graduation, so he studied like crazy. But what awaited him was her silent departure overseas, after which she vanished without a trace.
#
Years later, they met again. Jiang Yuan lounged against the sofa and gave her an indifferent glance, his haughty, disdainful eyes carrying a hint of disgust.
She turned away and pretended they were strangers, but that night she drank too much and lost control.
Later, they held each other close, and he ended up drunk in her arms.
He sobbed, like a puppy abandoned for years who had finally returned to its owner's embrace, burying himself against her chest.
Heartbroken and unable to stop crying, he said, “Tao Zhizhi, do you have any idea what the hell these past few years have been like for me?”
He had kept waiting, and waiting, and waiting.
Waiting for the mountain wind to echo, waiting for her to look back, waiting for true love, waiting for this moment.
At last, that day, he got his darling back.
[He was always the one running toward her with nothing but courage, while she came far too late]

---- Upcoming novel: Secretly Enchanted ----
Years later, Xu Suimian and Xie Zhuoning met at a dinner hosted by their elders.
Neither of them looked at the other.
Xu Suimian was polite and even chatted with the elders now and then. The “young master,” meanwhile, was quite the aloof type, lazily leaning against the sofa, not bothering to greet anyone and keeping his head down as he played on his phone.
Someone mentioned that Xu Suimian had gone to Huaihai No. 1 High School.
“Well, isn't that a coincidence?” Lian's mother turned to Xie Zhuoning. “A Ning, you and Suisui went to the same high school, and you were in the same year. Didn't you know each other?”
Xu Suimian and Xie Zhuoning answered almost in unison:
“Didn't know each other.” “Never met.”
They thought that would be the end of it, but Xie Zhuoning's four-year-old little sister suddenly ran over, tugged at Xu Suimian's sleeve, and asked, “Big sister, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?”
They definitely hadn't met. Xu Suimian had gone abroad the year his little sister was born, and had only returned this year.
The adults all laughed, saying that to little children, all beautiful women looked alike.
But his little sister shook her head firmly and said with absolute certainty, “I remember now. There's a photo of you under my brother's pillow.”
Her words stunned everyone.
Just as they all looked at one another in confusion,
Xie Zhuoning calmly put down his phone and said, “Oh, I think there is a photo like that.”
Xu Suimian: ???
“But...” For the first time that evening, Xie Zhuoning looked at Xu Suimian. His gaze was a little cold, yet strangely intriguing.
“I didn't know it was you.” His thin lips curled as he said in a flippant tone, “I downloaded it from the internet to ward off evil spirits.”
Xu Suimian: “...” Get lost.

Hey~ Believe me, if you don't watch the extras, it will be a sweet little novel (face covering)
I cried when I read it. I was very moved. Every time I read the novel before, I would never imagine them growing old, let alone their death. In fact, this is what they will experience. This novel is really good. The extra story made me cry to death. Jiang Yuan and Zhi Zhi made me really feel their love for each other. Now looking back at the plot of their teens and twenties, it's like watching a dream. I hope Zhizhi and Brother Yuan will always be happy in another world!
This novel was so well written that I burst into tears while reading it. In such a short length, I witnessed their lives. This is the second time I read it again. I was still very moved after reading it. I hope that Zhi Bao and Jiang Yuan in the parallel world will not have any injuries and will have children who love them and live a healthy and happy life.
I didn't listen to the advice, I watched the extra episode and burst into tears! Yes, I believe they can really be happy together for eternity
Cry to death. If I had known better not to read the last chapter, I would be both happy and sad.
I really cried to death. I can't move the corners of my mouth from the front.
Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…
I cried so much... Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much I shouldn't have watched this.
I cried at the end
Dear author, my pearls will fall down without money.
