Reserved, nurturing male lead x lively puppy-like female lead

High school student Fan Shiyu receives a strange text message.

It says her current boyfriend is a jerk who will eventually cheat on her and break her heart.

Fan Shiyu, just about to go on a date with her boyfriend: “...Who are you?”

The reply reads: “I'm you from the future.”

What a tired old prank.

Fan Shiyu shakes her head and ignores it.

But more messages keep arriving.

“You got scammed by scalpers at a concert and lost all your spending money. You hid it from your family and ate nothing but rice with soy sauce for a month.”

“On the previous math test, you changed six multiple-choice answers, and got every single one wrong.”

“Before that, your allergies flared up. You sneezed without tissues and secretly wiped your...”

Fan Shiyu: “...Enough :)”

Fan Shiyu: “What do you want from me?”

“Find Xia Shu.”

She is baffled. “Who's Xia Shu?”

“He's the person you will love very, very much in the future.”

Xia Shu's parents both died, and he grew up in the home of his aunt in Shencheng.

A boy in the middle of his growth spurt, he had no choice but to live under someone else's roof. Sometimes, when he didn't have enough money for food, he'd go upstairs to the washroom and drink water until his stomach felt full.

It was a summer day with passing showers. The water dispenser hummed and gurgled as he lay weak with hunger, lazily watching the rain through the window.

A girl chattered as she ran past downstairs. She suddenly looked up at him. Her bright eyes still held a smile, and it fell straight into his heart.

At that moment, his heart began to beat strangely.

If luck ever fell into his hands one day, he would wish to learn her name, so that his feelings had somewhere to belong. That alone would be enough.

But he had no idea that one day in the future, she would burst into his life, just like a sudden summer shower.

She would reach out and pull him out of a life as muddy as a swamp.

At last, a ray of light would shine on his usually bleak life.

A resilient, gentle sweetheart x an optimistic, sunny girl full of energy

1. Both are each other's first. The male lead has a secret crush, and the female lead saves him. A warm little story, with another clingy, lovey-dovey couple~

2. A sweet happy ending. Come on in and have a taste!

3. The female lead has all the initiative in the romance. She's a lively, clingy puppy who makes the first move. The male lead is more reserved. He's suffered a lot, but deep down he's resilient and gentle. The female lead gradually heals him and turns him into a sweetheart~

Please note:

1. The male lead is very good at playing mom! He loves playing mom! He really does play mom! If you don't like nurturing male leads, this might not be for you.

2. They're both little angels, but the male lead will give more in the relationship. The story is mainly told from the female lead's perspective, too! So their feelings aren't completely equal: the male lead loves and cares for the female lead more.

3. Please don't offer unsolicited writing advice.
