The socially anxious Xu Xiangwan met him during the second semester of her first year of high school. The boy had smiling, crescent-shaped eyes, and when he smiled, he was like a ray of warm sunshine shining straight into her heart. What does it feel like to like someone for the first time? A little scary. She was afraid he would find out she liked him, so she would never tell him! She'd just keep it hidden in her heart.
Sometimes Xu Xiangwan wondered if she really liked Li Boqing. Why didn't she tell him? What if they couldn't even be friends afterward? But everyone said Xu Xiangwan and Li Boqing were both domineering people. How could two domineering people ever get together? She was conflicted and torn. If there was no future for them, why did she like him so much?
A proud, elegant young gentleman? No, he was really an insecure, sorrowful, pitiable wretch. How could Xu Xiangwan not be a ray of light that saved him? Li Boqing felt he must have done something bad in his last life, then saved the world at the very end. How incredibly lucky he was to meet a girl like her at the sorrowful age of sixteen in this life. He liked her, but she was so outstanding and worked so hard. How could he ever be worthy of her?
Theme: When a secret crush is never spoken aloud, perhaps it leaves both people striving toward their own futures.
