Crush story / unconventional road-trip novel
Character setup: meticulous, socially anxious planner (female) + romantic, outgoing optimist (male)
Zeng Shuyi fell in love at first sight with a young man on the high-speed train. His soft lips, bright eyes, and vigorous, plantlike vitality made her heart pound.
She thought they'd never cross paths again, but he asked her for travel tips. Zeng Shuyi, who had never taken the initiative before, summoned her courage and stammered, "Would you like to come with me?"
Would he turn her down or say yes? Her palms grew damp with sweat.
The next second, she saw his dazzling smile, brighter than the sunshine outside the window. "Sure, of course!"
Song Pingchuan had impulsively decided to visit Xi'an, bringing nothing but himself. Thinking the girl in the next seat looked kind, he worked up the nerve to ask her for travel tips. Who knew she'd be the one to invite him along?
She was a gentle girl, light and airy as a cloud. He smiled and readily agreed. "Sure, of course!"
It was a sweltering summer, full of scorching sun, crowds, heat, and sweat dampening their backs.
It was also a dazzling summer. They squeezed close amid the crowds at the Terracotta Warriors, strolled beneath the brilliant lights of the Great Tang All Day Mall, watched the sunset by the Bell Tower, sang along with a band at the foot of the towering city wall, and chattered about past and present as they admired the museum exhibits...
Celebrating, running, laughing out loud: it was a summer blessed with every beautiful thing.
"Strangers are all lovers, and night is always day."
Zeng Shuyi had never imagined she could have such a grand and dazzling dream. With the trip nearly over, would this dream have a perfect ending?
Theme: Why not give it a try?
