Colliding in the Universe [Secret Crush]

"No matter how tiny a star is, it should still strive to shine."

Looking back on the ten years she spent entangled with Ji Lingxi, He Ruonan could recall three moments that sent her life off its predetermined course.

The first was New Year's Eve in eighth grade.

When He Jiabao beat her until she was covered in bruises, Ji Lingxi called to wish her a happy new year. That phone call saved her from the prison she called "home."

He told her, "You don't have to get used to the darkness. The moon is always there."

So she desperately chased after him, hoping only to become a friend who could stay by his side from afar.

The second was a scorching summer night after the college entrance exams.

She couldn't hold back and told Ji Lingxi the feelings she'd secretly kept in her heart for five years.

She had thought she was imagining things, but he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his thumb and gave her an awkward kiss.

He smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I couldn't hold back either."

The third was five years after they had been together and broken up.

Ji Lingxi had cruelly chosen to break up without a word of explanation, then disappeared for five years. When he showed up at a reunion with their middle school classmates, he looked at the man He Ruonan had her arm around, his gaze dark and sinister.

He Ruonan had planned to move on, but he pressed her against the door of the room next door, his voice full of pleading.

"He Ruonan, don't leave me. Please."

As He Ruonan lay on the sofa, taking blow after blow, part of her mind wandered.

Fourteen-year-old Ji Lingxi had been like a bright, pure moon, while she was nothing but an inconspicuous star.

They traveled along different orbits and were never meant to cross paths in life.

But when they strayed from their original orbits, the star and the moon collided in the universe.

Just like now, as the twenty-four-year-old Ji Lingxi crashed into her and scattered her thoughts, her trembling body and mind burst with dazzling, brilliant light.

A reader's guide:

1. The main couple only get together after graduating from high school as adults. Before that, they have innocent crushes, but mostly focus on studying hard.

2. The male lead has a reason for leaving and cutting off contact for five years, though that still doesn't make it right.

3. Mutual pining and healing each other, with a little pursuit after the reunion.
