What You Mean to Me [Coming of Age on Campus]

An insecure, introverted childhood friend x a proud, cocky childhood sweetheart

[Your imperfections still won my love]

The summer after the college entrance exams.

Chunyao let herself go completely. She added an online friend on a social app, exchanged photos, and chatted with him all night.

He repeatedly asked her out. Not knowing how to refuse, she arrived at the station early on the day they were supposed to meet, planning to take a distant look at him and then cut off contact. Who would like an ugly duckling who was vain and could only edit photos?

She never expected the person who showed up to be her scowling childhood friend, Li Rongze.

His tall, slender frame, the slight bulge of his Adam's apple, and the raised veins on the back of his hand.

Chunyao was stunned and terrified. The past two months flashed before her eyes like the sky collapsing.

-

A month after she cut off contact, he crossed two thousand miles to find her.

That trip went on to span all four years of their youth.

And after that, it became a lifetime.

Your kindness, tenderness, self-respect, and shyness are all part of what makes you who you are.

The gaze of someone who loves you is the best nourishment for flowers to bloom.
