If you're tired of the noise around you, take my hand and let's run away together.
The first time Jiang Nanyi met Song Jingjue was during the summer after their high school entrance exams.
At dusk, beneath the yellowing sky, she walked with her umbrella to the mouth of an alley. From its gloomy depths came cries and curses, one after another, thick with fury.
Jiang Nanyi's eyes were drawn at once to the boy in the middle of the crowd, hands in his pockets and gaze lowered.
He had an air of refined privilege, with a careless, unruly streak. A black umbrella shaded his head, its edge cutting a line across his nose. The upper half of his face disappeared into shadow. His lips curved in a handsome, brazen smile, carefree and nonchalant, while his fair skin stood out strikingly.
Someone suddenly shouted at her. Jiang Nanyi's breath caught, but the boy let her go with a faint smile.
His smile was languid and alluring, yet it never reached his eyes.
Later, she saw him again at No. 9 Middle School.
The low-key, cold-blooded gang leader from the alley had transformed into the darling of the school, admired and envied by everyone.
"Once, the world and I were both impoverished shades of gray. Then you appeared, all things came back to life, and I was redeemed."
(A brave, multifaceted girl as pure as a white pear, and a laid-back, devoted true young master.)
Theme: I'll take you and we'll run, far from the noise.
