[Complete | Weibo: That Pigeon Ferry]
Shen Li was sent to live with the Lu family during her senior year of high school.
She'd heard that the Lu family's second young master, Lu Changhe, was famously unruly and ill-behaved. He skipped class and ran away from school to race cars, becoming a laughingstock among the capital's elite families.
On her first day at the Lu house, the languid young man lounged on the sofa, glanced at her from beneath his brows, and said sourly, "Where'd you find this unlucky stray?"
Shen Li knew he didn't like her, and she was afraid of him too, so she quietly kept her distance.
*
One night, Shen Li was dragged into a secluded spot and harassed. After fighting her way free, she stumbled into a warm embrace.
Looking up, she saw Lu Changhe's face, irritation barely concealed beneath a hint of tenderness. His voice was low and sullen. "You're so stupid."
Then he took on the whole group by himself and beat every one of the people who had harassed her.
Later, the young man who had always seemed so fierce changed completely. He casually told her he liked her, and she plunged headlong into the sincerity he'd woven around her.
At last, she got through the college entrance exams, and thought their romance had finally made it into the light.
Until, at a banquet, someone brought up his beautiful girlfriend, the one who'd recently been the subject of rumors.
His face turned icy. Glancing at the petite figure in the corner, he said inscrutably, "We broke up. She's boring."
Not far away, Shen Li stood rooted to the spot, her eyes reddening. She didn't dare enter the banquet hall.
That night, she deleted all his contact information and decisively cut off all ties.
*
Later, she went abroad and stayed away for six years.
One night after their reunion, rain poured down in sheets. Lu Changhe forcibly took her away from a gathering, but someone blocked their way halfway there.
His eyes bloodshot, he pointed angrily at the man who had stepped out of the SUV parked across their path, holding an umbrella. "You're leaving with him?"
Shen Li's gaze was resolute, the chill in her eyes seeping into his heart.
He could only watch as, amid the torrential rain, the girl was sheltered beneath an umbrella. The man holding it gently comforted her as he helped her into the car, tenderness filling his eyes.
In the end, he was the one left behind.
For the first time in his life, Second Young Master Lu lost control.
Without a care for anything else, he rushed to Shen Li's home and pinned the delicate flower he'd once discarded like trash against the door.
Shen Li stared in stunned silence at the once-proud, pampered young master, now drenched and looking like a drowned rat.
As if venting his frustration, he bit a deep, ambiguous mark into her collarbone. Holding back the heartbeat that threatened to burst from his chest, he rasped, "Shen Li, please take pity on me."
*
Years later, Shen Li happened to look through his phone.
In the chat window she'd deleted long ago, amid messages punctuated with exclamation marks, countless days of longing had melted into words of confession and blessings.
For six years, he had suffered from a lingering illness. In endless darkness, he had taken her for a lifeline, his last sliver of reason and hope.
* Both leads are sexually inexperienced, happy ending
* 80% anti-piracy protection, 72-hour delay
* Many revisions. I only take responsibility for the official version
* Not a typical redemption arc. The male lead isn't bad and isn't a playboy. The reason they separated is explained in the story

Shen Li met the high-spirited Lu Changhe when he was at his lowest. She had just arrived and was at a loss. She accidentally caused him to be injured. Their first encounter was not a beautiful one, but it was unforgettable enough. He accidentally read her diary and touched her scars. Even though he was a young man, he would apologize. And when he climbed into her window at night, she would help him cover up. They wore each other's school uniforms wrongly, and they were rumored to be sweet boyfriends. Then slowly he began to care about her, telling people around her not to call her a bereaved daughter. He would intervene for various reasons when she saw a romantic interest in her. After learning that she had rejected the romantic relationship, even if she fooled him by writing a self-reflection letter for him, he no longer cared about it and even tied her shoelaces. In fact, Shen Li was moved by him inadvertently. When he read a confession to tease him on the stage, there was a smile on her lips. Seeing him counting down from the end of the report card also aroused her smile. After she came to this new environment, due to family changes, she had not shown much interest in showing her emotions. It was him who gradually made her cheerful. His unintentional words "I want you in the future" were enough to make her fall. Once upon a time, she was also the daughter of a wealthy woman held in the palm of her parents' hands. From day to day, she was left to live in the care of others. In this situation, she really cherished the feeling of being able to rely on her. When a friend asked him what kind of girl he liked, what came to his mind was her sweet, quiet and sometimes angry appearance. He heard that the venue of the competition was where she was participating in the competition, so he went to see her on the grounds of the competition. He took her to the competition and let her see his high-spirited, free and easy appearance. When she was so tired that she fell asleep, he had been worried about her anxiously. When he learned that she missed the group bus, he rushed to pick her up. The tulle skirt in the street window made her stop for a while, and then he noticed her liking and gave it to her as a gift on her birthday. He took her to the amusement park and set off fireworks for her in the early morning. He tattooed "rose" on his chest, and she was a rose in his heart. Perhaps his life was as lonely and dark as that wild alley, and she was the rose blooming in his life. Her growth against the light, perseverance, and bright beauty moved him and gave him the courage and strength to pursue his love. In order to let the roses bloom, Ye Xiang did not care about the cost, just to give her a world where she could grow freely. He would always guard the roses he loved. He was once the main force of MAT and the most talented player in the game, but he chose to retire due to family reasons. Although he was born into a wealthy family, he was not as happy as children from ordinary families. He had always wanted to be recognized by his father, and did not want to be just a foil for others. He tried his best to attract his father's attention since he was a child, but in the end he only got scolded for not living up to expectations. They all want to do their best to protect each other, but as young people, they have no chips in their hands that can compete with the world. When their love affair was revealed, there were many rumors from the outside world. He was forced to end his high school career early. Due to family background and other reasons, their relationship had to withstand tests and tribulations. When Lu Changhe suddenly disappeared and reappeared, he had been using his camera to record A Li in his eyes. At that time, he was preparing for farewell, recording every moment and every move of her, so that when he missed her after separation, he could at least have something to rely on mentally. On the day of the college entrance examination, the school gate was filled with parents who came to accompany her. In contrast, Xiaoli looked a little lonely. She thought she couldn't wait for him. Just a second before she was about to enter the examination room, Lu Changhe came over, but she didn't know that he who rushed there at that time actually overturned his car and was injured on the road. He never deceived her until the end of the college entrance examination. She thought he would never deceive her, so she made so many demands. She wanted to spend spring, summer, autumn and winter with him year after year, but this time he was going to break his promise. He said the cruelest and most contrary words, making her disappointed in herself. She spent six years alone in Los Angeles, during which she received two birthday gifts from him every year in the name of her mother, one of which was always related to rabbits. She has no shortage of suitors, but she has not been in love for many years. She keeps silent about him. She is still touched when she overhears his news, and he has always been thinking about her. After they reunited, he took the initiative to approach her, but she kept her distance from him. She still didn't know the reason for her past difficulties, and she was confused by his approach. Everything was traceable. Slowly, she discovered something was wrong with him and learned the secret of that year. During the six years of separation, Lu Changhe endured the pain of mental torture alone, just to get ahead early and find his own rabbit. What Lili said in his speech was really powerful! It also touched me very much. She uses the knowledge she has learned throughout her life to save her lover who is trapped in the abyss. After going through all kinds of hardships, the two people finally came together. It was both a hardship and a blessing. This was their fate. Shen Li and Lu Changhe will become happier and happier. They will have many unique winters in the future, and they will be able to watch many snowfalls with each other. I would also like to thank Adu for writing their story in the winter of 2023. We will spend every winter together, and we look forward to more and more of Adu's works ~ See you next time!
I accidentally caught a glimpse of this novel last year. At that time, I only had a quick glance and did not get into it deeply. I picked up this book again this year, and found that I seemed to be pulled by an invisible force, immersed in the world of the story, and couldn't extricate myself for a long time. The male protagonist's character is complex and contradictory. He has both a strong side and a fragile side. Accompanied by the heroine, he gradually learned to face his past and bravely move toward the future. The heroine is a perseverant woman. After experiencing the trough of life, she still maintains her love for life and her persistence in love. Whether the male protagonist emerges from the shadow of mental illness or the female protagonist rebounds from abjection, they have all experienced spiritual baptism and growth. Love here is not only emotional sustenance, but also a bridge for them to redeem each other. Their mutual redemption made me understand that true love is not only sweet companionship, but also support and encouragement for each other in difficulties. It also made me rethink the meaning of love and life, and made me cherish everyone around me more.
I just realized after watching it that yesterday was Lili's birthday 😭 😭 😭
Today is Lili's birthday. Happy birthday to Lili.
Damn, this is the first novel I read in Jinjiang, and it's because of this book that I came to Jinjiang. I really like this book you wrote. Both the plot and the writing really touched my heart. I read it in two or three days at the speed of light. Then I wish Lili and Lu Xiaowu a long life, and I wish you will get better and better (???(??? C)
It's so touching. Hahahaha. Love makes the ascetic perish. Will you start updating the if lines tomorrow?
Lu Youze should be liked by many girls when he grows up like this (I can't laugh or cry), plus he's so handsome.
But in the middle, I was really tortured and it was very easy to cry. Especially when I found out about puppy Lu's illness, I just burst into tears. I was so sad that my voice became hoarse.
I can't imagine what a happy little girl I would be if the if line was also a complete novel!!! I really like the character of Gouzi created by the author
Is Youyou too outstanding and therefore isolated?
