1. On the night of Dongda University's seventieth anniversary celebration, Wen Li learned that the person she had secretly loved might settle abroad after leaving the country the next day. For the first time in her twenty years of living by the book, she did something wildly out of character: she bought a ticket for the same late-night flight as Xie Qionglou.
Thinking that at least she could breathe the same air as him and put an end to her regrets, Wen Li arrived in an unfamiliar city.
She knew no one and nowhere. When a drunk passerby began harassing her, she was so flustered she didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a strong arm pulled her behind him.
The familiar scent of sandalwood brought tears to Wen Li's eyes, just as it had six years ago.
He wouldn't remember her. In his smooth, carefree life, she hadn't even been a firework worth setting off.
Using her fright as an excuse, she mustered the courage to ask him to spend her birthday with her.
Xie Qionglou said it was unfortunate, but he had a flight the next morning.
Spending her birthday with her wasn't part of his plans.
At the time, Xie Qionglou never imagined that years later, he would cancel every engagement just to spend a little girl's birthday with her.
Nor that when turbulence sent the plane lurching and plunging, terrifying him with the feeling of weightlessness, his first thought wouldn't be to call for help, but to send her a birthday message.
"Lili, happy birthday."
2. In high school, Wen Li was delivering some documents to the principal's office when she overheard the principal ask Xie Qionglou why he had refused to let the media interview the impoverished students receiving donations.
The sunlight was bright, the clouds drifting lazily by.
She heard the boy say in a clear voice, "The point of donating is to help those in need, not to magnify their hardship and embarrassment in front of a camera."
After that day, for six years, Wen Li donated to an orphanage under the name "Little Xie and Lili." Everyone assumed Little Xie was her boyfriend, though nobody had ever seen him.
It wasn't until one day six years later that Xie Qionglou accidentally found the orphanage's thank-you letters in her home, along with proof of her six-year-long secret love for him.
For the first time, he went to the orphanage she had visited countless times.
"I'm Little Xie."
"Lili's Little Xie."
What if I insist on making Mount Fuji mine with the power of love?
Fireflies chase the moon.
Getting a little closer to you
is all I've ever dreamed of.
* A story about unrequited love
* Later, the male lead pursues the female lead
The proud learn to bow their heads for love.
Theme: Be brave enough to pursue love
When Lili was chasing Xiao Xie, someone was also walking the same path she had taken, liking a good person and then making herself a better person (not everyone is as lucky as Lili's love to be seen, just as no one really owns Mount Fuji with love alone) If Lili hadn't bought the ticket and gotten on the plane, I think there's a high probability that Peng An's ending would be the ending of Lili and Xiao Xie... Regrettable but not resentful.
I want to see life after marriage!!!! 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺
High school if line High school if line!!!!!!!
It's over [spread flowers][spread flowers] Damn, I want to see the extra episode about Mr. Xie taking care of the baby.
The superior bowed his head for love. After reading so many articles, it seemed that only this time he really felt... Shocked? (I feel a bit indescribable, I don't know if this is the right word)
Xiao Xie and Li Li must always be happy, and many dazzling supporting characters must also be happy 🐰🐰🐰
I have finished chasing it all 🥺 and I feel a bit reluctant to let it go! Great work
Hahahahaha, Xiao Xie also has today
I'm so happy that we're finally reconciled
Why is it written and written from other people's perspectives, and can't it be added to the story?
