Her and the Rhythm of a Heartbeat

[Proud, sharp-tongued female bottom vs. unexpectedly adorable rich heiress top]

After Song Li is maliciously pushed into the sea by a classmate and narrowly survives, she unexpectedly reunites with Lu Qingze, an old friend she knew as a child. History has a way of repeating itself: Lu Qingze saved Song Li twice, once when they first met and once when they met again.

Sadly, the bullying Song Li suffered in elementary school caused her to lose her memories, and she doesn't recognize her old friend.

Lu Qingze has spent eleven years looking for her. At last, she gets a lead, and travels all the way to Lincheng with no idea if it's true. They meet by the sea. Though they have changed beyond recognition, Lu Qingze still knows her at a glance.

She comes to the city where Song Li lived, attends the school she attended, stays in the dormitory where she stayed, loves the people she loved, and shares the life she wanted with her.

"How can two girls date?"

"Hugging, kissing, and sleeping together. Anyone can do that."

But it seems fate is always playing tricks on her. After all these years of searching, just when she thinks their spring is finally about to arrive, their relationship is maliciously exposed during their crucial senior year of high school.

Their parents' and teachers' lack of understanding leads to them being separated once again.

When she hears from their homeroom teacher that Song Li has dropped out, the gusting wind stings her eyes. As soon as she steps outside, her eyes turn red, but she fights back her tears. She keeps walking into the wind until she reaches the seats where they used to study side by side. Only then can she no longer hold back and covers her face as she sobs.

Her deactivated phone number and deleted WeChat account are both blades, stabbing deep into her heart.

During the college entrance exams, Lu Qingze performs consistently and gets into the university they had agreed on. It is their only connection and their best chance of meeting again, but Lu Qingze cannot find her there.

Another year passes. In her third year of college, at a club orientation event, she finally sees the face she has longed for every day. Her heart recognizes her even faster than her eyes do.

"Do you need help, classmate?"

"I do. I think I need a hug right now."
