The first time they met, Xu Qing only saw Lin Shuyan's slender figure from behind and heard his friends call out to him indistinctly. She paid it little attention and never imagined their paths would cross again... The next time she noticed Lin Shuyan was on her way home from tutoring, when a friend excitedly told her how handsome he was. Xu Qing merely pursed her lips, not particularly interested. But then she happened to see the boy running. A spirited young man in motion is captivating; as he ran, it was as if he were racing through time. One fleeting glimpse of that carefree, radiant boy, and before she knew it, he had entered her heart and left her spellbound. She became a timid girl in love, following behind him with a heart full of joy and affection...
At seventeen, Xu Qing felt that liking someone was like standing alone in the rain...
Sadly, young love rarely seems to find a happy ending, and Xu Qing was no exception. Four years passed, and Lin Shuyan never looked back.
Then, in the blink of an eye, another eight years went by. While leading a tour group, Xu Qing was injured in a crowd crush and had to be hospitalized. There she unexpectedly met Lin Shuyan, her attending physician. The long years had faded her memories, and the love that had once left such a deep mark on her was buried far down in her heart. She had imagined countless times what it would be like to see Lin Shuyan again. Most often, she pictured him already married with children, living a happy, fulfilled life. But everything had changed...
Instead, Xu Qing and Lin Shuyan kept crossing paths more and more often. As old misunderstandings slowly came to light, so did their feelings. Xu Qing kept warning herself to stay away from Lin Shuyan and not repeat the same mistakes, but this time, Lin Shuyan would not let her go. After learning the truth about the past, he cornered Xu Qing in a stairwell as she tried to avoid him, held her tightly as she struggled, and, his eyes slowly reddening, choked out, "I'm sorry, Niannian. I was wrong..."
At twenty-five, that person carried his feelings with him and led her into the sunshine...
Not a first-love-only pairing. Secret crush becomes real. A warm, healing, sunny tour guide heroine x a brooding, secretly affectionate, aloof surgeon hero. A reunion after years apart, and a love that puts the pieces back together...
