There was no romantic drama,
nor was it a whirlwind romance.
Zhu Ting's love was like the mist that settled on her window at dawn and dusk:
calm and peaceful,
yet enduring and unwavering.
Zhou Xiran appeared like a fire starter, igniting the dull years of her life. From then on, she spent her days running toward a future with him.
After graduation, Zhu Ting never saw Zhou Xiran again.
She thought the light of her youth had vanished from her world for good.
Years later, they met again at the hospital.
He came before her as a patient.
Zhou Xiran looked at the beautiful doctor standing dazed before him.
He cleared his throat softly.
"Dr. Zhu."
"How do you know my name?"
Zhou Xiran couldn't help smiling.
"It's on your appointment slip."
"Oh."
When Zhou Xiran turned to leave, Zhu Ting thought they would never meet again.
But at their high school's anniversary celebration, she was invited back to campus and ran into him once more.
"Dr. Zhu, we're alumni. How about sitting together?"
Zhu Ting stared at him in a daze.
Only later did she realize that her racing heartbeat wasn't the only thing that had been unsettled back then. His had been, too.
After more than a thousand days and nights apart, her light finally embraced her.
Straightforward, wears-his-heart-on-his-sleeve male lead x sensitive, overthinking female lead
(The male lead actually knows how to talk, haha.)
Note: The unrequited love is a little bittersweet, but the overall tone is quite sweet. The female lead is somewhat sensitive. Happy ending.
No intimate behavior before they are adults.
Theme: Have the courage to take that first step
