Stars Meet in Summer [Rekindled Romance]

[University Campus | Mutual Secret Crushes | Reunion After Years Apart | Childhood Friends Turned Unexpected Lovers | Supportive Lovers]

Straightforward, spirited good girl VS scheming, flirtatious cool guy

"When summer brings us together, it's not only the stars I find, but also the boy I like, Chen Xingye."

1.

Feng Xing had a childhood friend she could never forget: Chen Xingye.

The boy who once told her, "Kiddo, we'll never be apart," disappeared without a word.

From then on, the boy in her heart vanished into the crowd.

Six years later, Feng Xing ran into Chen Xingye again on a graduation trip after the college entrance exams.

But he seemed like a different person. When he saw her, he acted as if she were a stranger.

Had he lost his memory, or had he completely forgotten her?

If he had forgotten her, why secretly tuck an umbrella into her bag?

Why drape his jacket over her shoulders?

Why, when she nearly slipped down the mountainside, did he anxiously push through the crowd and rush to her, then scold her:

"You're all grown up. Why are you still so careless?"

Feng Xing snapped, "Chen Xingye, what does it matter to you whether I'm careful or not?"

Chen Xing helped her to a quieter spot. His hand tightened around her wrist, and after a long pause, he said:

"Feng Xing, no matter what, I watched you grow up. I won't abandon you."

2.

Feng Xing was a coward. She had secretly loved Chen Xingye for years, but couldn't bring herself to write him a confession.

Until one day, Chen Xingye gave her a painting of a little girl among foxtails:

"The world is full of rules and restrictions, but don't be a coward who's afraid to take a step."

"Who you are and who you want to become aren't for other people to decide."

"Not even your parents get to decide. Only you do!"

"Your life isn't defined by others. You get to decide for yourself!"

She decided not to keep her secret love hidden away in a box, out of the light.

She wanted to reach for the person whose name kept blooming in her heart, again and again.

One night, Feng Xing deliberately took Chen Xingye, who was afraid of heights, up to the twelfth floor, hoping to protect him.

Instead, she fell into his arms, and he teased her: "You like me that much?"

3.

Feng Xing didn't know that Chen Xingye was aware of her feelings, and was watching her fall into his world, step by step.

He designed a rose-patterned qipao in a traditional Chinese style for her, hiding his feelings in it.

He wrote secret signals of his crush in her textbooks.

On Feng Xing's eighteenth birthday, someone confessed to her, and Chen Xingye could hold back no longer.

He pulled her onto the terrace and advanced on her until she was backed into a corner:

"Did you write me a love letter?"

She nodded, but she hadn't told him about it. How had he found out?

"I have an answer for that letter now."

Pointing to his chest, Chen Xingye said, one word at a time:

"There's room here. I've been waiting for you for a long time. Will you come live in my heart?"

"The boy I loved came running toward me, wrapped in starlight, illuminating my whole world."
