Xu Zhiyang will never forget that day.
It was a clear summer day. The young man leaned casually against the wall, one leg braced beneath him. Flecks of sunlight fell across his black hair as he stood against the light, lazily brushing his brow and smiling with carefree abandon.
That moment of distraction became a secret the girl kept in her heart for ten years.
Later, Xu Zhiyang watched him make one reckless mistake after another, yet still couldn't help falling into his gaze.
The day she resolved to give him up, Xu Zhiyang wrote an unsigned postcard:
May your future be boundless, in all the days we never meet again.
Chen Yang, I won't love you anymore.
-
At Nanda University's anniversary celebration, Chen Yang was invited as a distinguished guest. By then, he was a promising young figure and a leading researcher in environmental studies at T University, admired by everyone, free-spirited and unrestrained.
Their unexpected reunion made the seed of a hopeless fantasy, buried deep in Xu Zhiyang's heart, grow wildly. But she hid her feelings well and never overstepped.
The crowd surged outside the auditorium. When the dean introduced them, Chen Yang was polite but distant, his expression indifferent, as if she were a stranger.
In a flat voice, he introduced himself: "Ms. Xu, I'm Chen Yang."
In that moment, Xu Zhiyang knew that to Chen Yang, she was already a stranger.
-
Later, at a get-together with friends, Xu Zhiyang glimpsed him surrounded by eager admirers amid the glittering lights. His eyes were dark as he drank, one glass after another.
When he inadvertently looked up, the heat in his eyes set her heart racing.
She pretended not to notice and looked away, but he deliberately came closer.
In the dim corridor outside the restroom, the man pinned her against the wall, his dark eyes deep and inky. His warm breath burned against her ear. His voice caught in his throat, husky and enticing:
"Xu Zhiyang, do you still love me?"
#Unrequited love never sees the light of day. Childhood sweethearts can't withstand the frost, but luckily, you arrived before then.#
The Buddhist scriptures say, "All is illusion." But you are not.

+++++++++|Sensitive, well-behaved girl × devout Buddhist (not really) playboy
[Bonus Scene]:
After the Coral Sea proposal was approved, the key figure in T University's Planetary Health and Environment Research Team was brought into the spotlight.
What's more, rumors said Chen Yang had overruled all objections and spent a fortune building the country's first environmental research institute in Mingcheng.
Netizens were curious, speculating about what kind of feng shui paradise had convinced the big shot to settle there.
Until an interview on an environmental forum program.
Dressed in a suit, the man exuded an air of elite sophistication and noble elegance on camera.
The reporter asked what everyone wanted to know.
Chen Yang merely raised his eyes, casually fiddled with his wedding ring, and smiled, his lazy, roguish charm impossible to hide. "My wife is rather clingy."

Reader's Guide:
1. Unrequited love becomes mutual. The female lead is in love with him early on, then he pursues her later.
2. A playboy who seems to turn over a new leaf [Note: The male lead isn't really a playboy. He's gentle and devoted at heart, and likes the female lead. His early characterization is free-spirited and casual, while later he becomes slightly more reserved and composed.] Sorry to anyone hoping to see a real playboy reform.
3. One-on-one romance + both leads' first relationship + happy ending.
4. The first chapter's author's note has detailed content warnings.
5. School life in the early part, then city life. Mostly set in the city.

Theme: Devoted to environmental protection and cultural heritage
It is now 2:21 in the morning on August 4, 2022. I have finished reading the entire text. This book is really good to read. There is nothing too sad in the whole text, and the rhythm is relatively comfortable. I personally like this setting better, but I haven't seen enough yet. Why is it over? I won't say anymore. Then I wish our Chen Chao and Xu Zhichao will live a loving life in your world and grow old together, and Lu Zhihang and Wen Nai will also have a good time together~
(PS: Hello, I have finished reading. Ah, I didn't read enough. As a result, I lost it after reading it. Although I didn't read enough, I still want to say congratulations to you for finishing the full text. Spread flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers, sprinkle flowers~)
Tomorrow is Chen Chao's birthday!
Happy birthday to my dear baby~
It is easiest and longest to be tempted when you are young, and you can easily remember it for the rest of your life.
Now it is 2022.11.8. I finished reading this book in two days. It is really good. The author said that it is the first time to write an article, but it is really very good and detailed. The subject matter is also very novel. I am really happy. I found this book and read it carefully. After seeing the story about them, I wish them happiness in the one dimension.
Chen Chao and Xu Zhichao will have a long-lasting relationship
The physical book is signed! ! ! ! ——2022.9.30
This is the author's first book. To be fair, the writing is very good, the chapters (the plot is very natural), the copywriting is very good, and the characters (environmentalists & intangible cultural heritage workers) are very novel. I like it very much. After all, when reading a novel, you always read the introduction first, and only then continue reading if you are interested. I am also very glad that I found this book in the bookstore. Chen Chao is the kind of boy who is free and easy, with the arrogance that youth should have, but not annoying. He knows how to play ball, is handsome, and is dedicated. In real life, I have been attracted to such boys countless times. Xu Zhicheng is a sweet and soft little girl. I really like this kind of girl (who doesn't love sweetness). Chao Chao is a rather stubborn person. Although she told Lu Zhihang to give up, she secretly liked him for eight years (eight years was the time from when Chen Chao went to England to the time they met again). Having a crush is very hard (I really understand it). Fortunately, Chao Chao was lucky. Her secret love was responded to. Chao Chao copied scriptures at Xitan Temple and came to Yangda University for her (and many, many little things). Just like in the article, eight years later, Chen Chao sent him an unsigned postcard from Xu Zhichao which read, "It's not Xu Zhichao's secret love, it's the passionate love between Chen Chao and Xu Zhichao." I hope their love will be passionate until death! Finally, let's talk about the author's writing style. In fact, I think the first book is really great when it's written like this, but I hope the details (subtle emotional descriptions) can be more delicate! In short, it is well worth reading. I hope Lili will get better and better and be known to more people!
Shu Er has been mentioned in several books. Will Xiaoli write Shu Er's story? Super looking forward to it
