1. Xie Ran is bold and carefree, with impossibly high standards and a reputation as the best student in the university's sports college. He's notoriously hard to pursue.

By contrast, Lin Yitian is the youngest freshman in this year's class at Huada University. Fresh-faced and innocent, she's like a glassy candy on a summer day.

They meet at a club interview. Hearing her soft, sweet voice, Xie Ran glances up casually. "Lin Yitian?"

Before the girl can speak, the boy cuts her off without mercy.

"If you can't lift a finger to help, little kid, then don't come here."

Little kid.

He deliberately emphasizes those three words.

Lin Yitian mutters in annoyance, "What an ice cube..."

That same day, she meets a crush who is completely different from Xie Ran, an upperclassman, and exchanges contact information with him.

2.

Lin Yitian is lively and innocent, but around her crush, she grows increasingly shy. Unfortunately, Pei Zhuo is a blockhead who never makes the first move. So the girl tries everything she can think of to flirt with him!

One day, the blockhead finally catches on and asks her: [What do you like to drink?]

She holds back a shy smile, but her roommate, acting as her strategist, snatches her phone and suggests: [You and me, bubble tea]

Lin Yitian: !!! I meant taro bubble tea!

Xie Ran has just come off the training field. All he sees is: "The other person recalled a message and kicked you in the butt."

He smirks.

Would the little kid freak out if she knew who was on the other end?

3.

After they get together, it's unbearable when someone so lively and adorable gives him the silent treatment.

It takes half of Xie Ran's life off him.

He gets drunk alone, all the way into the middle of the night.

Lin Yitian happens to pass by the foot of Xie Ran's apartment building and finds him leaning by the road in the freezing winter night, wearing only a light shirt.

She stops and looks back at him. "Why do you keep following me?"

Her impatience has no effect on Xie Ran. The proud young man lowers his voice. "I won the championship."

She frowns. "So?"

"So..."

Xie Ran lets out a bitter laugh and pulls her into his arms despite her pushing him away, holding her as if he could press her into his very bones. "Don't leave me..."

Your uncertain love has made me suffer so much.

In 2005, Nanqing was hit by the worst typhoon in its history. Afterward, Yun Zhi was left homeless.

She was nine years old when she met the only person who reached out to her.

He took her in.

He came from a wealthy family and was steady and gentle, a well-known young entrepreneur in Nanqing.

When Yun Zhi first met someone so handsome, she learned for the first time that houses could be so beautiful.

It wasn't until many years later that Yun Zhi understood that some things had been wrong from the start. But she had no choice. She could only keep making the same mistake.

-

After the Shi family was destroyed, Shi Xu met a filthy little girl.

He sent her to school, watched over her as she grew up, and saw her slowly blossom into a young woman.

After the college entrance exams, Yun Zhi began to see him differently.

Perhaps a young girl's heart always longs for something out of reach.

She wanted to hold his hand as she had before, but was told that it was wrong.

After leaving Nanqing, Yun Zhi saw the splendor and variety of life in Yuegang, unaware that Shi Xu had nearly died for her.

Later, Yun Zhi's name became a thorn in his heart, invisible and untouchable.

#Some things are fated, even if we keep making the same mistake
