Summer with You

My other novel, Summer's Dark Melody, is now underway. Please add it to your reading list!

In 2014, after graduating from high school, students from the arts and science tracks gathered at Xianyue Tower for a meal. On her way to the restroom, Li Weiyu ran into Xu Yanshi.

She thought they would simply greet each other as usual and go their separate ways. But the young man called out to her and said:

"Li Weiyu, actually... I've liked you for a long time."

In that instant, Li Weiyu felt complete.

A secret crush is a wild symphony. She had thought she was playing solo, never expecting it to be answered one day.

Reader's note: Mutual pining, both experiencing first love, happy ending, sweet school romance

The first time Ji Qinghe heard of Li Shengrui was at a student council interview. She was told that the girls at school who liked him could circle the campus's famous Qinglong Mountain more than once. Ji Qinghe thought that sounded exaggerated.

The first time she saw him at Qinglong Mountain, she didn't know the person on the bench was him. She thought that people who liked him could probably circle the mountain three times or more.

But she never expected that at the department's first meeting, the protagonists of the one-lap and three-lap stories would turn out to be the same person.

Ji Qinghe's first impression of Li Shengrui: aloof, serious, good at sports.

Li Shengrui: "??? Good at what?"

Ji Qinghe: "...Tennis."

In the end, Ji Qinghe proved through personal experience that he wasn't just good at tennis.

On the day they graduated from university, beneath the bright sun and amid the songs of insects and fragrance of flowers on campus, Li Shengrui promised Ji Qinghe a lifetime together.

As their fingers intertwined, Ji Qinghe recalled how they had first met.

He was full of youthful energy and caught everyone's eye; she was looking forward to university life.

Time never goes backward. Grasping the tail end of youth and living life to the fullest: that's how life should be.

Reader's guide: Both are virgins, both experiencing first love, optimistic girl X serious boy

A very, very sweet university romance

Premise: Youth should never be let down by a lack of courage or effort
