A Tribute to Spring

/A gentle, affectionate frontline war correspondent x a noble, kindhearted international humanitarian doctor

/First overseas mission + family power struggles and romance + second overseas mission

In the first year after leaving Jiang Keyu, Xu Tingchuan underwent surgery, struggling day and night, enduring excruciating pain and loneliness all by himself. The only thing keeping him alive was the hope of returning to see her.

In the second year after leaving Jiang Keyu, Xu Tingchuan officially enrolled in school. He kept up with his rehabilitation while working hard to finish his studies, secretly asking after her and anonymously sending her birthday gifts year after year. On the back of every birthday card was pencil writing that had been carefully erased.

"A-Yu, I miss you so much."

He watched her grow up and graduate. He silently shared every precious moment of her life. He knew they could never go back to the way things were.

For six whole years, Xu Tingchuan thought he would never see Jiang Keyu again.

Until, on a battlefield filled with smoke and gunfire, in a crowded hospital, she fell into his arms, covered in blood.

"You think you're so capable? You just ran off without saying a word?"

Jiang Keyu said nothing. After a long while, she raised her reddened eyes and replied,

"Didn't you disappear without a word back then, too?"

That night, the gunfire never stopped. He finished one operation after another, so exhausted his hands were trembling. When he returned to his dorm, he found her curled up on his bed.

He quietly covered her with a blanket and checked the wound on her forehead. Just as he was about to leave, she gently tugged at his clothes.

She called his name timidly and wouldn't let go.

Only when he turned back and looked down at her did she speak, her voice catching with tears.

"Brother, don't leave me."

*May we be brave, may we be safe, may peace and prosperity last forever.

Reading Guide:

1. Neither lead has exes. The male lead isn't a ruthless rich young master, and the female lead isn't a naive, helpless girl. Both are virgins.

2. The male lead's engagement later on is just a misunderstanding from the female lead's perspective. He's never had feelings for anyone but her. Readers who prefer devoted leads can rest assured; he'll explain everything later.

3. The war has no real-life inspiration, no real-life inspiration, no real-life inspiration. That's important, so please don't draw comparisons. The central theme of this novel is peace and love.

4. Due to the subject matter, the outline has been adjusted. The battlefield sections will account for half the novel, while the family conflicts involving Nanhu and Beichuan, along with the romance, will make up the other half. There will be two overseas aid missions to Buluzanbi.

5. Once the female lead becomes an adult, she lives independently. After that, she and the male lead have no legal or biological sibling relationship.

6. In a way, the male and female leads become mentors in each other's lives. They grow together and save each other.

7. Medical and media-industry knowledge comes from friends' guidance and online research. If anything is wrong, please let me know gently; there's no need to nitpick.

I hope you all have a pleasant reading experience!
