If Love Arrives Before Dusk

- If love arrives before dusk, could we stay together forever?

1. Xu Wenzhou transferred to a high school far from home to get a change of scenery and clear her mind.

By chance, she became neighbors with a classmate, and later, they became friends.

One sleepless night, she was driven to the edge of a breakdown, but he said he would take her hiking and to pray at a temple.

That day, at the peaceful Qingjing Temple on Laishuang Mountain, they worshipped together and shared the sweet porridge the temple gave out.

From then on, he was the one who stood with her in the twilight again and again. He was also the one who asked her, "Is the porridge warm?"

Time and again, she had escaped one nightmare only to fall into an abyss.

She was betrayed, left without support, and nearly lost her family. Later, an examination revealed that she was ill, and had been for a long time...

She came to a new place and began again.

Here, she met the true cure for her pain.

2. On a camping trip, a mosquito got into Xu Wenzhou's tent overnight and drank her blood all night. When Jiang Fuwan came to wake her the next morning, she grumbled unhappily, "I got bitten all over my face last night. It's driving me crazy."

Jiang Fuwan said, "I'll catch them for you later and swat them dead. How about that?"

"No," Xu Wenzhou said fiercely, holding up a fist. "If you catch them, hand them over to me. I'll tear off all their wings, pull off all their legs, rip out their mouthparts, then throw them into the wilderness and let them starve to death!"

Jiang Fuwan felt a chill run down his back. "...Okay."

Xu Wenzhou irritably scratched the spots on her face where she'd been bitten, then threw her head back and yelled, "It itches so much! Die, mosquitoes!"

Watching her scratch so hard and so relentlessly, Jiang Fuwan thought she'd break the skin if she kept it up. So he stopped her hand and smiled meaningfully. "I know a way to stop the itching."

Xu Wenzhou: "What?"

Jiang Fuwan: "I've heard a lot of old people say spit stops itching."

Xu Wenzhou: "Huh?"

The next second, a head leaned in beside her face. Jiang Fuwan took her cheek into his mouth, first licking it with his tongue, then sucking and sucking. In the middle of it, Xu Wenzhou even heard him swallow.

Jiang Fuwan held her soft, smooth cheek in his mouth, sucking and licking. It still wasn't enough, so he bit down on the bumps and rubbed them with his teeth.

"Well? Does it itch less now?"

"..."

Xu Wenzhou was about to die of embarrassment and fury.

- A cute girl who's gloomy at first and later becomes a sweet, irresistible flirt without even trying & a pure-hearted, devoted puppy who's easy to tease and always convinces himself she's into him.

- The female lead has a mental illness, but it won't be described in too much detail in the story. Her condition steadily improves with the male lead by her side, though it will play an important role at the end.

Note: The leads get together in high school, so this is a story about young love. Underage readers, please don't imitate them. Focus on your studies and keep striving!

Theme: Hope in life never goes out.
