[Softhearted, rugged man vs. straightforward, sweet girl]
Le Xia never beats around the bush, whether she's talking or acting. She's offended plenty of people, and has gradually grown sick of fake relationships.
So, as soon as she graduated, she retreated to a small town and went back to her old line of work.
She became a cemetery caretaker.
The work was easy, and she was far from the hustle and bustle.
But one day, her peaceful life was completely disrupted.
She went fishing as usual and leaned back in a little wooden chair, perfectly content.
Suddenly, the crisp, powerful sound of marching footsteps and deafening slogans rang out behind her, scaring away all the fish that were about to bite.
Irritated, she looked over at the group of men in camouflage vests, but her attention was caught by the man leading them.
Oh, so her fish hadn't gotten away.

Lin Chenxiao never imagined that, even after being "exiled" to this godforsaken place, he'd still find romance.
His "romance" pursued him relentlessly, leaving him troubled for a long time, until he decided to set things straight.
He accepted her invitation to go fishing. When he saw the girl waiting for him, beaming with delight, his heart softened again, so he changed the subject.
"Do you like fishing?"
Who knew the young woman would flirt with him so earnestly, without even blushing?
"More than fishing..."
"I like fishing for you."

Later, Lin Chenxiao was transferred back to the city. Le Xia, who had been crying her eyes out before he left, suddenly went silent.
She didn't reply to his messages or answer his calls, as if she'd vanished from the face of the earth.
Lin Chenxiao panicked.
He drove back to town that night and waited outside her building until morning. In the end, all he got was a message.
[I'm sorry for bothering you before. I won't do it again.]
