Misaligned Diaries

Married first, love later | She has a secret crush on him | Reunited after years apart | A slow-burn romance A gentle, sweet-natured journalist covering people's everyday lives x a rational, steady prosecutor 1- Ten years after graduation, Chu Ying attended a class reunion and saw Jiang Jinchu. The person she had secretly loved for twelve years. Jiang Jinchu came from a wealthy family and excelled in his studies. He was a true child of heaven, while Chu Ying was nothing more than an ordinary classmate to him. On New Year's Day, with the first snow falling outside a café, Jiang Jinchu sat across from Chu Ying. "Can we get married as soon as possible?" Chu Ying knew Jiang Jinchu was in a hurry to marry because an elder in his family was seriously ill, but she agreed anyway. After they married, Jiang Jinchu seemed like a perfect husband. He drove her to and from work, and if she mentioned something in passing, he would get up in the middle of the night to make her a snack. 2- Chu Ying understood that all his kindness was simply him fulfilling his duties as a husband. He had never said he liked her. Even their friends teased that Jiang Jinchu's world held nothing but work and no feelings. Yet one day, this rational man began researching how to grow jacaranda trees in Nancheng. A tropical and subtropical tree, and Chu Ying's favorite. A friend came to see Jiang Jinchu, who was covered in dirt and looking exhausted. "You're already married. Why go to all this trouble?" Jiang Jinchu only smiled and shook his head. "She likes them." Then he went back to adjusting the greenhouse temperature. The setting sun gilded the rooftops, and a shower of blue-purple blossoms fell. The city's only jacaranda grove. Jiang Jinchu kissed the corner of Chu Ying's lips. Amid the thunderous pounding of her heart, she heard him say, "Jiang Jinchu will love Chu Ying for a lifetime." A Little Extra While sorting through old things at New Year, Jiang Jinchu discovered Chu Ying's secret online journal. It was filled with a young woman's thoughts. 1. I've fallen for a boy. His given name is my surname. 2. The exam results are out. I'm a little closer to him now. N. The college entrance exams are over, but I still don't have the courage to confess to him. I hope everything goes smoothly for him and that all his wishes come true. Later, Chu Ying discovered Jiang Jinchu's secret. 1. I've fallen for a girl. 2. So there was a girl who liked me so sincerely. The newest entry read: It began with Chu Ying liking Jiang Jinchu, and it ends with Jiang Jinchu loving Chu Ying. "These diaries from two different times are Jiang Jinchu's reply, and more than that, his promise for the rest of his life." Theme: Study hard and keep improving
