1.

Unemployed Li Nanxing was traveling to the northwest to clear her head when she ran into her glamorous ex-boyfriend on the train.

They had both been top students in high school, and she didn't want to admit how badly things were going for her now. She acted nonchalant, but her ex showed her no mercy, repeatedly exposing the cracks in her facade.

Unable to take it anymore, Li Nanxing demanded, "What exactly do you want?"

Chen Jiangzhou regarded the ex-girlfriend who had once dumped him with interest, suppressing the resentment in his eyes as he asked, "Would you consider giving me another chance?"

Li Nanxing politely turned him down. "A good woman doesn't go back to her ex!"

Chen Jiangzhou laughed. "A good bull wants to go back to the old pasture."

Li Nanxing couldn't help saying, "Chen Jiangzhou, are you crazy?"

After a long silence, she heard Chen Jiangzhou reply in a trembling voice, "I am. I've been lovesick for eight years."

2.

In their second year of high school, a transfer student joined their class.

Li Nanxing thought he might threaten her place at the top of the class, but Chen Jiangzhou didn't think much of him.

The two of them went from disliking each other at first to becoming inseparable, and their story became a beloved class legend.

It began with Li Nanxing picking on Chen Jiangzhou.

Only after she had done so did she realize she had fallen for him too.

For her sake, Chen Jiangzhou searched the whole city in winter just to find a bouquet of lisianthus.

Sadly, Li Nanxing crushed those flowers underfoot with her own hands.

She was the one who made the first move, and she was the one who abandoned him first.

Many years later, Li Nanxing would still remember that boy in the alley, once hailed as the best and brightest, his eyes bloodshot and his whole being utterly broken.

Li Nanxing didn't believe anyone could love her. Chen Jiangzhou spent eight years proving, I really do love you.

3.

A reporter asked Chen Jiangzhou why, as a photographer who had already achieved great success at home and abroad, he had returned to China to build his career.

A faint smile appeared on Chen Jiangzhou's clear-cut face. "To win back my first love."

The reporter stared in astonishment. Chen Jiangzhou, who had always faced the media with a cool, distant air, could actually smile.

#

A rekindled romance about two people whose words are tougher than their hearts, whose hearts are softer than their words, and who both seem unaware of how deeply the other loves them.

Chen Jiangzhou loves Li Nanxing very much, but Li Nanxing doesn't know it.

Perhaps Li Nanxing knows, but she doesn't dare believe it.

In the desolate yet romantic northwest, Chen Jiangzhou tells her again and again, "Li Nanxing, don't be afraid. I'll always be right behind you."
