Summer at Spring Marsh

The neighboring novel, "Bite Your Lip," is now open for follows and saves! A campus redemption story. The blurb is at the very bottom~

Reunion after years apart | Secret love comes true | Healing romance | A musical journey

Qiu Ruo and Xie Zhiyan had not seen each other in eight years.

After a rumor spread, Qiu Ruo became Xie Zhiyan's girlfriend outside the entertainment industry.

A video suddenly began circulating online. Snow fell everywhere as a man, his fingers long and distinct, put a snow hat on the female lead.

The video was not very clear. The blurry angle showed only that the male lead was Xie Zhiyan, who had temporarily withdrawn from the entertainment industry due to illness.

The woman was covered by the hat, revealing only her pale chin.

Netizens began speculating! Xie Zhiyan claimed to be recuperating from illness, but in reality, he left the industry for love!

Xie Zhiyan issued a denial in the early hours of the morning.

@Xie Zhiyan V: We're just ordinary friends. Please don't bother her.

*

Later.

Xie Zhiyan suddenly topped Weibo's trending topics.

#Newly Risen Top-Tier Star's Secret Romance# Breaking, Hot

#Xie Zhiyan Living Together With His Girlfriend# Hot

In the video, the man wrapped an arm around the woman's slender waist. The veins stood out on his powerful arm, and his fingertips curled as he pinned her in the passenger seat and demanded a kiss.

Her hair wound between his fingers, swaying with his movements. In the dim, blurry video, Xie Zhiyan's profile was unmistakable.

The next day.

Reporters surrounded Xie Zhiyan, crowding the hallway until no one could get through.

Reporter: "Xie Zhiyan, now that this relationship has been exposed, what do you think?"

Reporter: "Xie Zhiyan, about how an ordinary friend became your girlfriend, are you taking back your own words?"

Xie Zhiyan looked straight into the camera, his tone teasing. "I should thank you. Thanks to you, I finally have a proper status."

The reporters were too shocked to speak!

Someone actually didn't want to give Xie Zhiyan a proper status!

Before the college entrance exam, Qiu Ruo was encouraged by her best friend to write a letter and send it to the person she loved.

It contained only a few poetic lines.

Perhaps, after countless spring and winter days, we will meet again somewhere.

Then, I will confess my feelings to you.

What her best friend didn't know was that the letter was still sitting in her drafts to this day.

One day, a glitch occurred in her account, and the long-forgotten letter appeared in Xie Zhiyan's inbox.

He held her in his arms, his tone teasing.

"I knew you had feelings for me back then."

[Secret love is countless spring and winter days, an existence just beyond reach.]

One-on-one, happy ending.

No real-life models. Please don't associate the story with real people.

Please don't mention this novel in comments under songs mentioned in the story.

---"Bite Your Lip" Blurb---

Redemption | Bittersweet romance | Romance-focused | Campus

A proud, pampered little princess X a wild dog, arrogant and fallen

In the year Lin Youxia loved Chen Ji most, she lost him forever.

*

One day, Lin Youxia woke up and discovered that she had returned to the age of sixteen.

In the back alleys.

She waited there for Chen Ji.

Chen Ji was a prominent figure at Teng County No. 1 High School: arrogant and unruly, with a strikingly cold, fierce appearance and a uniquely wicked, untamed air.

He was someone no one could control.

Longing drove her mad. She threw her arms around Chen Ji, tears pouring down her face as she called his name over and over.

All she got in return was teasing and jeers from Chen Ji's good friends.

Chen Ji remained silent and unmoved. His voice was hard as he coldly and mercilessly said,

"Let go."

When the new school year began,

The "romance" between Lin Youxia and Chen Ji spread throughout the entire school.

No one had expected that Lin Youxia, the pampered little princess, would actually win Chen Ji over.

*

Later, Lin Youxia transferred to a school in Beicheng.

Overnight, Chen Ji traveled hundreds of kilometers and appeared in front of her.

His tall figure stood beneath a towering tree. His cold, sharp eyes roiled with unspent fury and resentment so deep it could not be dispelled.

"How many male models have you hired?"

"I didn't hire male models. They're fashion models," Lin Youxia explained. "There's only one."

Chen Ji penned her in with his arms and looked down at her, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "Well, you're certainly devoted."

In an instant, her almond-shaped eyes glistened with tears, her delicate brows furrowing as she met his deep, clear gaze.

Chen Ji felt a stab of pain in his heart. At once, he crumbled and lowered his head to bury his face against her neck and shoulder.

"I'll be your model." The young man's voice was low and hoarse, muffled as he spoke. "Don't find anyone else."

[, On a spring night, dance the wildest dance.]

[, He was arrogant, fallen, and untamable, yet he bowed his head to her. To him, seventeen was a paradise of celebration.]

One-on-one, both leads are each other's only partner.
